Awesome "12-Days" - More Info Coming!

Just a few hours ago we finished our 2 annual performance of "12-Days" This was an idea that we got while we attended our mother church, Desert Springs Church. This is a fun family outreach with 12 variety-style acts.

This year we welcomed "Broken Rhodes" for the second time and we were treated to some awesome music. The kids always steal the show and this year was no exception. And - my son didn't pick his nose on stage this year! We are making progress.

Other highlights was a story, "The Birds" as told by Sharyn Ketcham. We had dances by the Hydrate dance group and the 3-5 grade dance group. Other musical performances came via "Hydrate, The Band", The Vsssssss, and more! We'll have video and pictures coming soon!

Each year we end with the story of the legend of the "12-Days of Christmas". If you've not heard it - you'll have to make plan to attend next year. Sean Kelly can even tell you if I can do the whole song in the same key!

Christmas is not about the 12-days of shopping at Macy's (sorry Macy's), not about the food, the friends, the presents or even our family. Rather it is about the fact that a Jesus was born, a Savior came to earth - knowing he would die. Because of this we celebrate that we have salvation and the hope of eternal life!

Merry Christmas!
