Christmas Pageant 2022

All children in nursery school through middle school are invited to be a part of our Christmas pageant on Saturday, December 24 at 3:00 p.m.

Performed during our Family Service on Christmas Eve, the pageant gives children an opportunity to participate in a centuries-old tradition, a wonderful celebration of the nativity. For those who cannot attend physically, the pageant will be livestreamed on both Facebook and YouTube.

If you have children who would like to be in the pageant, please sign up by going to bit.ly/SMEC-ChristmasPageant2022

Questions? Please contact Janine Moyer Buesgen via email.
