lambs...cows...angels...shepherds...

Narrator 1: By the time they left Bethlehem, all of them - the shepherd, the wise people, and Mary and Joseph - had seen something they'd seen a hundred times before: a baby. But everyone knew they'd seen soemthing they'd never seen before: God with us.

Narrator 2: And that's how the story ends?

Narrator 1: The story doesn't end. God's grace and love for us isn't two thousand years old. It's new, everyday. It may appear in ways we don't expect, or in things we see every day, but it's always there.

These were the closing words of our Annual Children's Christmas Program. This Sunday is always a fun and exciting day in our church. Some might complain that this really isn't worship and doesn't belong in the "real" worship on Sunday morning. But to them I say - worship isn't about you and your needs. Worship is about God. And if this doesn't make God laugh and smile - I don't know what will. But most enjoy the show and see it for what it is - kids worshipping God the only way they know how - with laughter, with mistakes, and doing the best they can.
