We are thrilled to invite you to our this year’s Christmas production, "Celebrate Christmas: An Angel Remembers." This year, we embark on a journey back in time, to the very night that changed the world forever: the night Jesus was born.
"An Angel Remembers," will take you on an adventure, guided by the angels themselves. Through their eyes, we'll unravel the journey of spreading the miraculous news of Jesus's birth. These heavenly messengers will share their stories, their excitement, and their love for the newborn King.
Celebrate Christmas is not just a play; it's an experience filled with joy and wonder. ✨ Together, Canaland Early Leaning, Stevens Point Christian Academy, and Refuge will have over 100 children participating, taking you on a journey through songs, storytelling, and special videos that bring the Nativity story to life in a way you've never seen before. Invite your family and friends!
Dates: December 8 & 9 at 6pm. (Doors open at 5:30pm)
