We warmly invite you all, young and old, to come and experience
our Christmas Play that will take place after the service.
Our play will be a community work of art, combing children of all ages to show the archetypal and healing story of Mary and Joseph travelling to Bethlehem, the holy birth, and the shepherds bringing their gifts to the new born Child. Woven into the scenes will be eurythmy and lots of singing. Our play will be similar to the well known Oberufer rendering, just a little shorter.
Rehearsals will take place every Sunday until the play, from 10:30-11:30 am and are lead by Victoria, Nicholas and Lisa. If your child would like to participate or if you can help with costumes, please reach out lisavanhol@gmail.com.
