Teacher Appreciation Brunches Begin
Teachers at Olive elementary school began gathering early on Wednesday morning to take advantage of the holiday brunch provided by AFCC as a token of our appreciation for all their hard work. By 7:30 the whole staff had gathered to receive their gifts
In addition to a lovely brunch for all school employees, an Our KIds Our Schools tote bag for each teacher, held by Becky, and a large box of coffee, tea and cocoa inserts for last year’s gift of a break room hot water dispenser, comprised this year’s gift. All of these appreciation gifts were provided through the generosity of AFCC and the hard work of the Neighborhood Engagement Management Team. Three more schools will also be honored later in the week.

A Complete Cast of Characters
It takes a lot of people to mount and sustain three nights of Madrigal performances at AFCC. Each is to be commended. Although not every one wears a costume at the madrigals – there are more behind the scenes than in full site – the following list illustrates the wide range of hands that went into making this year’s production a great success. I believe the proper comment, concerning all their efforts is: Huzzah!

Dining With Royalty
Over 400 people dined with royalty this weekend at AFCC. No, in spite of what you may have heard, it wasn’t a visit from Prince Charles and Camilla. This royal occasion was all about the birth of the true king who reigns forever. Yes, it was set within the pageantry of a medieval court in all its finery. However, the real star of the production was Jesus, the Christmas King who came to save His people from their sins.
Over a hundred volunteers from AFCC worked months to prepare and present this special program. Everyone did a great job and are to be commended for their service! While I am waiting on the official court photographer (who has a good wide angle lens) to send in his cast photo, I will share a couple more photos that document the visual atmosphere that greeted all those who joined the King and his court for this year’s Madrigal Performances.
It was a setting in which one could truly say, with no eternal qualifications: Long live the King!

Angels Appear to Shepherds at AFCC
An angelic host actually appeared to a band of shepherds at AFCC, Sunday morning, December 13, announcing the birth of the Christ child. Looking strangely similar to many of the children in our congregation, a cast of Biblical proportions gathered to recite the entire Christmas story, as recorded in the gospels, as well as sing songs about the event. Unlike the shepherds, even though it was a thrilling spectacle, the congregation was able to worship without being “terrified” of all that appeared on the stage.
There is still one more opportunity to join us for a special Christmas celebration this season – Christmas Eve, Friday, December 24 @ 6:30 PM.
