the cast of players
The
St. Mungo' s presentation of the age old story of the Nativity formed
the main part of the service on Sunday 18th. A seasonal service with a
different twist created by the Sunday School teachers, supported by the
members of your church.
Titled 'Stories of the Saviour' our
tale begins before the New Testament stories, in fact as all good
stories do, at the beginning!
Our resident scientists, members
Christine Jackson and Sandy Robertson took up the story, rolling
back time to the 'creation', when God made the world.
Bill
Webster continued with John 1:1-4 , "In the beginning was the
Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the
beginning with God. All things came into being by Him, and apart from
Him nothing came into being that has come into being. In Him was life,
and the life was light to all mankind. " when humans appeared they were
full of loving forgiveness and truth.
Time to exercise our singing, led by a video explaining the '7 days of creation'.
 We
continued with the Adam & Eve story, hearing how God formed Adam,
then Eve from Adam's rib. All was perfect until the serpent
encouraged Eve to eat the fruit from the forbidden tree, and to give
some to Adam. It all went downhill after that! We heard about the wickedness of man, and how
the Lord was sorry that He had made man on the earth, how it broke His
heart, saying, “I will wipe this human race I have created from
the face of the earth.
We heard how God spoke to Noah about the forthcoming flood
and to save two of every species he had created, but only 8 people were saved..
We
enjoyed a
video of the 'Arky Arky song' before introducing and hearing
about Abraham. We continued with the hymn 'Trust and Obey' .
 Jesus
came from the blood line of Abraham, who was Jesus' great, great,
great, great, great, really great grandpa. But they say Jesus also came
from David, so we heard about him, using a video 'Only a Boy Named
David.'
We moved along in our story to Mary being visited by
Gabriel, Joseph by the angel, the journey to Bethlehem for the census,
and the birth in the stable.
We sang 'Silent Night' and the
angels visiting the shepherds, before their journey to see the new born
baby Jesus. This led us into the hymn 'Joy to the World'.
Finally
we heard the story of Simeon and Anna, before being left with the
thought 'What's your story' of the saviour?
