The Christmas Pageant is Coming, Sunday, December 20th, at 4pm on ZOOM!
"But HOW do you have a Christmas Pageant on Zoom?" or "Oh, I'm not sure about that."
.
Imagine a narrator on screen, reading about the shepherds. Suddenly, WOW, there are all the shepherds and sheep, all in their own little Zoom windows with Virtual Backgrounds. Then imagine the Angel Gabriel, arriving to deliver the good news of Jesus' arrival. And suddenly, WOW! Not only are there shepherds and sheep, but there are the angels from heaven, with their stars in hand.

Well, we are already busy making exceptional plans to ensure that our St. Paul's Christmas pageant happens this year. It will, of course, be different than what we've done in the past but these days, the Unusual has really become the Usual. We're re-writing the script, seeking help from our incredibly talented parishioners, and on Sunday, December 20th at 4pm, we will stream live from Zoom with all the shepherds, sheep, innkeepers, angels, and wise men that you could hope for. We are still working out the details of how Mary, Joseph, and Baby Jesus will be cast-- if your middle schooler or high schooler are interested in those roles, it's okay to sign them up, but we may need to take a slightly different approach to the Holy Family this year. More information to come as soon as its available!

We hope that you will sign up your children!!! Yes, it's a different sort of Christmas pageant, but it's been a different sort of year too. The more participants we have, the better it will be and there is room for EVERYONE! Help us bring the Christmas story alive. Here is the Link To Sign Up for the Pageant.
