Yes, I know that it is currently 109 degrees and I am finally reflecting on Christmas. Goofy, isnt it?
The Christmas Programs at Scottsdale Bible Church are always incredible and this year was no exception. We had performances on Thursday the 13th, Friday the 14th and two performances on Saturday the 15th. The fun part about Saturdays performances was the Christmas festival we held on campus that included games, real snow and food for families.
One creative element I was able to contribute was more live painting. With the help of Kelly Crum and Jennifer (with Shleby attached) we painted a nightime Bethlehem countryside scene on 6' high panels that wew 4' wide and we did 6 of there. During each performance I painted live, Mary, Joseph and the baby Jesus in the manger. My favorite part of this experience was the children that came up after each performance to ask questions about painting and that they recognized who I was painting. I often sent them on a search through the other panels to see if they could spot the three wise men on their camels. Great Fun.
This is such a blessed time of year and I always feel doubly blessed that we get to focus on the real meaning of Christmas very early through the preparation of these performances and other activities at church.
