You can tell Christmas is coming as you walk down the halls and hear the students practicing their musical pieces for the cantata, The Birth of Jesus, written by Mary Dorn Lippert.
The children’s Christmas service will sound a bit different, perhaps, this year because it is a cantata which is a musical story of Christ’s birth. That means the usual oral recitations of the familiar Bible passages will be heard through song instead of spoken word. It’s going to be a beautiful service in which we once again marvel at the telling of that wonderful birth on that night long ago.
Another sign of the season that has become an annual tradition of the sixth grade, is the making of gingerbread houses. Annette Kehl and Bev Meyer are two ladies with the know-how and are welcomed each year as eager hands create their own individual masterpieces. I’m sure there is enough frosting that is sampled along with the frosting that makes its way onto the gingerbread house’s rooftops!
