Christmas Eve at Berean Bible Church - 2006

The Christmas Eve service brought a wonderful children's play to Berean Bible Church depicting Jesus Christ's birth.  Written and directed by Wendy and Jerry Franz, this story was told by the animals at the stable at the time of Jesus' birth.  The set, costumes, music, and rehearsals were fully supplied/supported by many parents and assisting crew to help ensure the play effectively told the story of the coming of Jesus.  There were a few lighter moments as well.  For instance, the Rappin' Camels told the story from their perspective and, being rapping camels, the music carried a beat so contagious the other animals joined in.  These were happenin' camels with lots of rhythm and groove; their 'shades' helped keep the desert sun out of their eyes of course.  Everyone had a great time... and the audience loved it, too!

	The angels put their heart into their message.
	These Rappin' Camels performed their famous "Camel Rap"
	Everyone got into it... Even the cow, mice, and donkey got their groove thing on! It was totally righteous!
The Wise Men came bearing gifts.	They followed the star in the east.
