So glad for our children's play

I want to use this opportunity to give a "shout-out" to all those who help make the children's plays each year so beneficial to our church.  I will not name people in this post, but you all know who you are and know that I am grateful for you.

To the author of the plays I want you to know you have a great gift to be able to communicate the truth of the gospel in a medium that involves many people and reaches many people.  This gift is from God and I am so grateful that you use it in the context of our local church.

To the people who help backstage I am grateful for your tireless dedication to be at practices and to learn the movements required to be able to change the scenery and the costumes so that things roll along seamlessly.  You will not likely get the credit that you deserve but you are a big part of the success.  This is also true for those who help make treats for the practices and work alongside the author/director to assist.

To the people who work to make the sound the best it can possibly be I admire how hard you work to do a job for which you get paid nothing (which is far less than what is deserved!)  I heard that this play was the easiest to hear out of all of the plays that have been done.  Well done!

To the kids who memorize their lines and take the instructions given - you did a really good job!  You clearly communicated the most important message people will ever hear in a way that has the potential to impact people for years to come. 

Our church is tremendously blessed to have such a gift twice a year and I am so thankful to be able to be involved and support this ministry in whatever ways God allows.
