How the Magi Became Truly Wise: An Epiphany Pageant


Join us on Sunday, January 4th, during our regular worship time (9:30am) when we celebrate the Feast of  Epiphany! Epiphany (officially January 6th but typically celebrated on the nearest Sunday) is the day we commemorate the revealing of the baby Jesus to the whole world! Through the story (told by actors, readers and musicians of all ages) of the wise men who followed a star and brought gifts to Emmanuel, we remember that God’s love extends not to just one group or one tribe, but to the whole world. The party continues beyond December 25th! Come and celebrate!

We are looking for interested people to help this all come together. We need:

  • Readers
  • Actors (the actors will mainly be children, but we will take children of all ages!)
  • Parents to help supervise during the rehearsal and the performance
  • Costume makers

We will hold a rehearsal for the pageant at 10:00am on Saturday, January 3rd.

Interested in helping out with the pageant? Contact Heather Davis at 503-810-0123.
