Have you seen a Nativity play this Christmas?

it's lovely to watch, especially if they have real animals. We went to one outside in a field last year, really beautiful and touching.

The church I've been going to this year brushed the childrens' program aside. I was upset and talked to my sons' Sunday school teacher about it. We put together some singing and presented the Christmas alphabet. It didn't quite turn out like I hoped. I don't think enough hearts were put into it . We only had 1 1/2 practice so not many kids knew the songs. Next year I hope will be better on on to a new church.

What a shame, I love the kids stuff. Well done for trying though, it's so hard to get people motivated nowadays. I hope your new church makes more effoert or even more people will grow up wondering what all the fuss is about. I can never understand why the Churchdoesn't try to keep the youngsters interested - where I livethere isn't even Sunday School but the Church Hall Dram Gruop always manage to put something together and that seems to make it more special in a way.

I don't think you can go and watch their works Christmas pub crawl, never mind once you get grandkids you'll be able to go to all those little plays and things again!

See one if you get chance, even as a non-believer it inspires me to hope that maybe there is hope for our world.
