An Unexpected Christmas Musical Drama

Rosanne Fortier News Correspondent

Many people comment that it just doesn’t feel like Christmas until they attend the Vegreville Alliance Church annual musical drama.

So it was very satisfying for local residents who enjoyed ‘An Unexpected Christmas’ that was presented on December 15, 18, 20, and 22.

The musical was about people from all walks of life who were experiencing different issues and who found themselves together in the middle of an airport terminal on Christmas Eve.

People wait after they discovered their flight was delayed.

There were sections of uplifting and soft music which underscored the theme behind each act of this musical.

The overriding message that was conveyed is that it doesn’t matter what we are experiencing at Christmas or where we are at in life, we all receive the greatest gift God ever gave us-the gift of his son, Jesus Christ.

Pastor Bob Wiebe said in closing: “We all need Christmas because we need to acknowledge the miracle of Jesus’ coming into the world at exactly the time God determined he would. Food and fellowship was plentiful during refreshments. Donations were also collected for the Vegreville Food Bank.
