Christmas Movie 2008
The youth of our church created a Christmas movie this year that told the story of the birth of Jesus. This was shown at our service on December 21, 2008. Thank you to Robyn for all of her hard work writing the script and organizing this. We all enjoyed it very much!
Anthony, Jody, Bill, and many others also played a big part in getting this together. The movie is split into two parts. Hope you enjoy it as much as we did!!
Part 1 of 2
Part 2 of 2
For those of you interested in how this came about, you probably noticed for the past month that there were sets all around the church. The youth used many church locations and props that were mostly found around the church, and the Junior High boys filmed the scenes. The Junior High boys then used a computer to splice the movie together, add images to the narrations, and add the transitions. So this was a great way to use modern technology to tell the story of the birth of Jesus in a new and exciting way!

We will be discussing 2 Samuel 2. Our discussion will focus on the beginning of a long civil war between Judah in the south under David's command, and Israel to the north, under Ishbaal's rule (Saul's son).
This story sets up the hatred that Joab has for Abner and introduces a lot of new characters that will be central in upcoming lessons.

Christmas Parade 2008
Our church had a float in the Boonville Christmas Parade this year. We all had a blast! Thank you to Carla for organizing this event and to everyone who helped decorate the float!!
We had a great turnout. As you'll see in these videos, our float was overflowing with people!
There are two videos available for your viewing. Remember, if you click on the video while it is playing, it will launch at YouTube and you'll have options to view the videos in higher quality.
The first video is the parade highlights. It is about 3 minutes long. Be sure to turn up your audio so you can hear the comments being made :)
In this video, you will hear Matt and Joe desperately trying to control the kids and adults riding the float, and constantly encouraging them to calmly toss their candy to the innocent bystanders. We salute Matt and Joe for their valiant efforts.
The next video is the raw footage taken at the parade. It is a little over 7 minutes long.

Lights! Camera! Action!!
The Sunday School classes are joining forces to make a movie about the birth of our Lord and Savior. The scenes will be filmed in various locations throughout the church, so please excuse our recording and lighting equipment! Be sure to watch for the signs that say "Quiet on the set."
The actors and actresses are our very own 3rd through 6th grade students, who will be in costume for the next couple of weeks. Our 8th grade class will be filming the entire movie, directing the scenes, and editing the film until it is in its final form.
Don't miss the world premiere of Hemenway's first movie production. Coming soon to a church service (and this blog) near you!!
