I just have to share the about the Christmas Program we had the other night for enrichment. It was an idea that I had when we were in the Western Skies Ward. It turned out extremely nice. It was a progressive program.
We started out at Karla Gaylord's house where we had Randa Gaylord do a reading as Mary. Then Sara Gardner sang a song by Sally DeFord "When Mary Sang Her Lullabye" . It was beautiful and then we gave them the Mary piece of the nativity they were getting for the evening.
We then moved to Sonnet Boulton's home where we had a real treat and Joe Tenney (a friend we knew in the Western Skies ward and a member of the group "Three 2 U") did a reading about Joseph and sang another song by Sally DeFord "Guard Him Joseph". They received the Joseph piece of the Nativity.
We then went to a sister in our ward that is dying of cancer and sang "Silent Night". She was beautiful and looked so at peace. It was very emotional.
We went on to Randa Gaylord's home and had a reading about "The Star, My Heart and The Savior". We handed out the Star and then on to my house for the last part of the program. Where we had Becky Potter speak and then saw the Nativity video to the song "A Breath of Heaven" by Amy Grant. We then had dessert. The evening was wonderfully successful. We had about 30 sisters attend. I think they all felt the spirit that was there.We painted 55 nativity sets. Thanks so much to my friends Cindy Johnson and Karolyn Wolfington we were able to get them done. I don't think I would have been able to get them done without them. I know over the years this has become one of my favorite little sets. If anyone would like a script of what we used I would be glad to get it to you. I got a lot of it off of the Sally DeFord website and the Star reading was from the New Era, December 2008.
