Emanuel Church invites all children to be in its “no rehearsal“ Christmas pageant

Emanuel Church is holding a “no rehearsal” children’s pageant on Christmas Eve this year and all children are invited to come participate.

The message of the church is that the magic and grace of Christmas is with our families and children. We are seeking to share the story and message of Christmas in new ways. So we are calling all families and children for our “no rehearsal” Christmas pageant. That’s right; there are no rehearsals. Just show up for the service and you are in. We need shepherds, sheep, angels, wise men, soldiers, and village people. No rehearsal, just show up and participate. We have all the costumes and all we need is you!

Our Christmas Eve service will be at 5pm, which will hopefully work around the busy activities of everyone’s Christmas Eve. Come as you are to a great service of celebration of the Messiah’s birth with your family and children. There will be scripture, children’s stories, hymns, and, of course, the pageant for all the kids. Join us at 5pm at Emanuel UCC in Manchester for our Celebration of Christmas and Families.

For as little as $1 a month, you can keep Manchester-focused news coverage alive.
