Graystone Kids

I was so proud of our Graystone Kids yesterday. As I watched yesterday’s video again this morning, I felt like I had my own worship service in my house. The Christmas story never grows old. Our elementary children have prayed every week we’ve been together at practice that the program would change lives. I hope it reminded you to slow down this week, maybe it reminded you to invite someone to the Christmas Eve services, or maybe it reminded you that the Jesus that came as a baby and has totally changed your life.

I’m so proud of our preschool kids. My favorite were the ones that yelled, danced, talked, or played on the riser but they all looked cute. Thanks to Max Wilson, Max Inlow, Allison Fry, Gracie Maddox, and Ian Rogers for telling us the Christmas story. During our play for elementary, Beth Anne Brice, Mack Newbern, J’Lynne Conway, and McKenzie McCrea worked hard to memorize their lines and did an awesome job. Plus, Pat Ball and Rusty Knight completed our play and our kids loved them. The first time they practiced with us, the children couldn’t keep their eyes off of them. Everyone that had a solo and speaking part did great!

I couldn’t have done Sunday without tons of help. The staff helped tremendously with their area of expertise. Thanks to parents who practiced with your children, sang songs over and over in the car, and brought them to practice. Thanks to volunteers who served Sunday in the rooms so we could have the program. Donna Rector and Cathy Schuster were behind the scenes with our children along with many volunteers who helped kids line up, collect bells and just pray! Thanks to Julia Howes and Melanie Jackson who taught preschool songs each week. Candace Lane and Kelli McCrea were my right hands again this year and I’m so thankful for their friendship and help each year. To everyone involved, thank you!

So, are you coming back? When you come back on Christmas Eve, who are you bringing with you?
