December is ALMOST here!!

Can you believe it? December is almost here! We have 20 days before the Christmas program! We are practicing EVERY Sunday and Wednesday! Please make sure you are there!! We need EVERYONE! Please mark your calendars...A pre-dress rehearsal will be held on Dec 13 and Dec 16. That means we will rehearse the whole time on those dates. Full dress rehearsal will be Saturday, Dec 19, 10:30 to 11am for Sprouts/Jamboree, and 11am to Noon for Studio Z.

Studio Z has learned ALL the songs except for one and we will be finishing it up on Wednesday. Are you listening to your cd's in the car?? It is SO important to practice! If you have a speaking part, your lines should be memorized up to the song Wise Guys. If you have a solo, this should ALREADY be memorized!! Choir members (which is everyone in the program) should have ALL the songs memorized! My kids and I listen to the CD every time we are in the car. My four year old knows the songs, so it can be done!! Get excited about it! We are doing this for Jesus!!

Jamboree continues to practice on Sundays and Wednesdays. All solos need to be memorized ASAP. If you child has a solo, they will not be wearing a costume for the program. Please dress them in their cute "Christmas" outfits. The remainder of the kids will be dressed as part of the manger scene. If you have any questions, please contact Tosha.

The Bible Club classes will have their Christmas parties on Dec. 23. See your child's club leader if you can help with refreshments.
