This past weekend, the First Baptist Church of Columbia held its annual Christmas Pageant Show.
It is free to attend and it is the congregation's gift to the community. This was our first time seeing the show and it was truly amazing. It was one of those unplanned activities that turned out so well. Our neighbor had seen it the night before and told us that it was really something that we shouldn't miss. So, even without ticket in hand, we thought we would give it a go. When we arrived, we realized it was extremely popular and very well-known. There were people coming from all directions and we thought we would never get in.
All of a sudden, out of nowhere, comes this decorated, oversized "golf cart" shuttle. They stopped... picked us up and off we went. They dropped us off at the door and once inside, the building was quite impressive. However, that was nothing compared to what was to come.
It was a cast of hundreds, all costumed, and it had the feeling of a broadway play. The singing and dancing was amazing. It was so well produced with such unbelievable talent. The woman that sat next to me said to make sure that I don't miss the one that they do for July 4th, Celebration of Freedom. I know that this will be a new tradition for us. Put it on your calendar for next year, I'm sure you won't be disappointed.
Two local television channels will be broadcasting the Christmas Pageant on Christmas Day. Check out First Baptist's website to find out the channels and times.
