Christmas – HOPE Ministries

Our 2017 Adult portion of the Christmas celebration was a little different this year. The only thing that has never changed is "Gods Word". Mankind however is ever evolving, so this year we played biblical characters delivering the message with a modern twist. It was set in a social gathering hosted by Sarai/Pastor Frazier who believes testimonies are all the rave, kicked off the show with "No Way's Tired" then turned the stage over to the Prophet Isaiah/Brian who killed a one liner. Mary Magdelene/Iesha brought our emotions to a crisendo with "He Looked Beyond My Faults". Hosea & Gomer/DeAngelo & Devonna brought back fairy tale love with "Encourage Yourself" & "He Saw The Best In Me". The woman with the issue of blood/Christie crawled her way to Faith. Then a Canaan woman of faith/Muriel taught us even a dog eats the crumbs that fall from his masters table. The woman with the alabaster oil/Monique backed up by praise dancers, sister Franisha and Sister Iesha calmed the crowd with "Alabaster Box" solo. Mary the mother of Jesus/LaTisha explained how things work until God steps in, then miracles happen. Zechariah/John told us all our faith wavers when God shows himself. The entire production was kept safe, blessed,decent and in order by the presence of the Angel Gabriel/Mother Palmer. Happy Birthday Jesus!

Once again the Children Ministry of Helping Out People Everyday Have shown their devotion to and love of God by giving us a stellar performance of this years Christmas play "The Birth Of Christ". Scene one began with the Angel Gabriel/Aaliyah visiting Mary/Tryliyah. After Mary receives the troubling news that she would have a Child without knowing a man the entire cast sets the mood with "Mary Did You Know". The angel Gabriel then visits Joseph/Lynn who takes the news with a strong quiet acceptance. Scene 3 Brings the three wise men Marquis, Manny and Malachi before King Herod/Ahmyah After receiving their instruction to find the new born child and bring him to Herod so he may worship him, they leave to the cast singing "We Three Kings". After the innkeeper/Brianna directs Mary and Joseph to the manger a Host of Angels Aaliyah, Tiana, Esayiah, Azariah, Ahmyah, Krissy, Kayla, Franisha, Vonessa, Brianna and Teshel sing "Away In A Manger". Scene 5 the birth of Jesus Christ is started with an amazing solo of "silent Night" by the Angel/Brianna and ended with a multitude of Angels saying "Glory to God in the highest. And on earth peace, goodwill toward you."
