2015 Heartland Christian School Christmas Program

This was my second year of helping lead the Christmas program for the preschool and elementary students at Heartland Christian School.  I can’t even begin to express what a great experience this is–every step, every lesson, every student, and every faculty member–all of them are such blessings! This year Grades 1-5 performed Celeste Clydesdale’s new Christmas musical entitled A Tree Lot Christmas. This show tells the story of a group of kids who hold a Christmas tree sale along with a bake sale to raise money to buy presents for children in their community.  The sale is held in the parking lot of a toy store whose owner is pretty skeptical about Christmas and only enjoys the season because it brings him big sales.  Through the testimony of the children, however, the store keeper comes to know the true meaning of the birth of our Savior, and his life is never the same.  

Each production has it’s challenges, and this one was no exception.  Our biggest obstacles this year were all things completely out of our control that affected our rehearsals–things like storms that led to school cancellations.  God knew all about those things, though, and He is always faithful to provide for every situation.  In this case, He provided through a wonderful set of kids who did their very best and faculty that were flexible to do what was necessary to pull the show together.

It is always a joy to see how God works through these programs, and this year was very special.
