Our Little Angel

Two days after the tragedy at the elementary school in Connecticut, there was an emotional Children's Program at our church, and Drew was part of the Angel Band.

 That's part of the Angel Band - grades Pre-K through about 1st grade I think are in this photo. The entire Children's service was grades PreK through high school, so quite the ages spread.

What made this program special for us was that it was Drew's first speaking part!

And here is the video:


What you can't tell by this video is that Drew spoke loudly and very clearly.  His lines were:
"We pause, reflect and give thanks for his sacrifice - redemption's price."

We have some additional videos, but I must apologize for the bouncy photographer. Dave was busy filming and trying to help Drew focus and do some of the hand motions...

Here's Away in a Manger:



And I'll share one final video (we had about 20 minutes of the hour long program on video.  This was their final song - Jubilee.


We followed the service with a Chili dinner and some conversation with Grammy, GrampC and GG who also saw the show. We were so happy with how Drew behaved and performed for the service - especially after a weekend full of rehearsals, he was so over it.
