Last Wednesday, our church had its annual Christmas
party! Last year, the theme was a
western hoe down. This year, they decided on a Dickens Christmas Party! The
party was very different for me this year, because instead of simply attending,
I was involved in the planning and execution as part of the staff (I’m an
intern this semester.)

We
had several things going on all at once. When people arrived, we had a Dickens
photo booth which I helped run, a hot cocoa bar with all kinds of fixings
(think whipped cream, sprinkles, fancy marshmallows, etc.) Christmas cookies,
and hay rides.

In
the middle of our evening, everyone gathered in the worship center to sing some
Christmas carols! I actually missed this whole part because I was cleaning up
the hot cocoa bar, but I heard it was good!

They
also had a funny midget skit which I heard was *hilarious!*

After
that, people continued the activities we had beforehand. In addition to that,
each family got to decorate and take home a Christmas ornament. Here, a crew gets
ready to go on a hay ride.

To
end the evening, we had story time with Scrooge. The kids really enjoyed it!

Being an intern, I stayed late to help clean
things. The party was so much fun, and I’m so glad I had the opportunity to
help out and to attend!
