Christmas Live Nativity

For many years, First Christian Church in
Warner Robins has done a Christmas Pageant with a live nativity scene.
After experiencing the puppets at the Kansas City Assembly, the church
created their own puppets to give their pageant a little something new
and special. Phil Bossarge created the frames and Marsha Vandervort and
Catherine Peters created the heads and the costumes for 5 puppets, Mary,
Joseph, a shepherd, an angel and a wise man. Adults wear the puppets and
children fill in as additional shepherds, angels and wise men. The
Christmas story has been recorded and set to music and played as the
puppets and children act out the story. It is fascinating to see traffic
passing the church slow down as they see the lights and these 8 to 9
foot puppets moving around. Pastor Darrell Vandervort says that
this is the only time he has ever had the opportunity to play the part
of Mary, since he is completely covered by the puppets costume. |
