Christmas Pagent

In celebration of the third Sunday in Advent, Myrtle Perkins' 94th birthday, and the restoration of Marcia Jones-Scott, we enjoyed another delightful play by Jan Good [with Jenny Spivey]. Each year Jan and her collaborators meet the challenge of writing and producing a play which engages the available cast at a level consistent with their abilities, which is timely with regard to current issues, and which retells the Christmas story. We will get a link to the script on this site. In the meantime, here are some pictures.
