Following the Star

During this Christmas season's production of Journey to the Manger, the staff of Masquer Ministries will be leading the audience on, well... a journey, as usual.  "We have seen His star, and we have seen the light...", and it is yet again time to share the light of that star with the world.

Accompanying us this time are, thankfully, most of the familiar faces in the company, as well as some not-so-familiar ones.  Sadly we lost a foundational member at the end of our last show, and so it's nice to see a good sized handful of newbies in the company.  I have been with this ministry going on 4 years now, and it's exciting to see how much it is growing.

Once the show progresses a little more, I have some interesting topics related to the nativity to touch on.  Things such as when the wisemen arrived to Jesus and company, who they were, the meaning of their gifts, as well as some other interesting facts about Jesus' place of birth.  Did you know that Jesus was not actually born in a cave, or even necessarily a "stable" as we know or think of?  Controversy, I know!  We'll be diving into the Greek text on that one, and it should make for an interesting and hopefully informative adventure.

Stay tuned next week for more updates.

Sincerely in Christ,
D
