New Year's Eve Service - Indian Style


A New Year's eve service that was worth the price of the plane fare to India!
Have you ever seen a children's Christmas play that tells the WHOLE story? We did!
- Caesar Augustus' decree that everyone be registered
- King Herod consulting with the scribes and chief priests on where the King of the Jews would be born
- King Herod's anger when the wise men did not return, complete with sword and Count Count (ala sesame street)laughter
Flat Stanley attempted to snag a front row seat for the entire show but ended up having to relocate.
Besides the Christmas play he missed the singing, several different traditional Indian dances done by the girls who live here, and the
distribution of gifts to the teachers and staff at Good Shepherd.
