Dryden Road Pentecostal Church Christmas Play 2023

Hey Friends,

Merry eve of Christmas Eve! Thanks for joining me for a few moments of your Saturday. I hope you are having a fantastic holiday weekend. 

We will be celebrating the birthday of our Savior with a church service tomorrow and lots of family, fun, food and good fellowship on  Sunday and Monday!

On the first Saturday of this month, I attended the Christmas play put on by members of my church. Dryden Road Pentecostal Church has been blessed with many talented people who can tell a compelling story. One moment, I was laughing at a funny line adlib or mishap. Then, the next moment, I was crying over the truth of the real Christmas Story.

Sis. Lana Rank penned and directed this year's play! It was titled "When The Fullness Of Time Was Come". Sis. Lana did a phenomenal job. This story returned to the beginning and told the story of Jesus's birth! We got to re-live history for the evening and imagine what it was like when He came.

I hope you enjoy some pictures from the evening below. Here is a video of the play. This was posted by Bro. Jonathan Mills.

I have sat with Grace and Hadley for two years in a row at the play. I vote this becomes a tradition for us. We had a great night together.

I was thrilled to see Mellynn! I miss her. Last November, she got married and moved away.
