Our 2020 Children's Christmas Pageant is going to be an exciting, VIRTUAL production this year! Rather than acting out our pageant live in the Sanctuary, all kids are invited to participate in a unique video production. We will film each child and each scene, one at a time, and then we will put all the pieces together. Everybody will receive a huge SURPRISE when they see themselves in the final video!
Pastor Karyn, Music Director Bron, and their writing team have put together a pageant script that's like an Advent Calendar where you open a little door each day to find a chocolate surprise. We have 25 “doors” to open up this year with a scene behind each! We will need storytellers, dancers, puppeteers, and instrumentalists. We’ll also need singers for a Virtual Children's Choir -- you will record your voice at home and send your recordings to Bron -- don't worry, we'll show you how! And there's our usual band of beautiful angels, bleating sheep, singing camels, shepherds, wise men, Mary, Joseph and Baby Jesus.
Now WE NEED TO HEAR FROM ALL OF YOU!! If you think you’d like to be in the pageant in even the smallest, simplest way, please let Karyn know now at karyn@fauntleroyucc.org. Yes, it seems like Christmas is far off, but it will take time to create this gift. We are putting our finishing touches to the script this week. Our casting will begin in the next week. We will be filming each little bit child by child through the month of October. Don't miss out! It's going to be SO exciting to see you all up on the big screen!
Parents, we will schedule a Zoom introduction session to the Pageant in early October, so look for a notice of that soon with more details about how and where we plan to safely film and an opportunity to ask questions. Safety during this pandemic is our top priority. Written permission for each child to be filmed will be requested, as the video will be aired during church worship and live-streamed on YouTube.
Please direct any questions to Pastor Karyn at Karyn@fauntleroyucc.org. We are so excited to have you join us!
