This past Sunday, the worship service at CCNF featured a beautiful sacred dance choreographed by Marian Zerbi and gracefully performed by four young dancers who moved some viewers to tears. The still photographs shown here cannot fully convey the wonderful experience of those who witnessed it live, but if you missed it, it would be well worth your while to view the church’s YouTube channel and watch the recording of Sunday’s livestream.

“Said the Night Wind to the little lamb…”

“Said the little lamb to the shepherd boy…”

“Said the shepherd boy to the mighty king…”

“Said the king to the people everywhere…”

“He will bring us goodness and light!”

After the sacred dance and the singing of the hymn, “O, Come All Ye Faithful,” the Children’s Christmas Pageant brought more music and good news to the congregation. Many participated in this seasonal milestone, and we give thanks for all those who worked to bring the story of our Lord’s birth to life for us.

The Angel Gabriel has some amazing news to share with Mary.

Shepherds who were keeping watch heard the good news from choirs of angels.

With choirs of angels, shepherds, and many animals at the manger, it was quite a crowd gathered to welcome baby Jesus!
