On Christmas Eve Stage One performed for their fourth and final time
this Christmas the acclaimed nativity play Joe Carpenter and Son - at
the Methodist Church here in Folkestone. We enjoyed performing to a
whole packed and appreciative church-full of folk - and took the form
of a Christingle Service, our performance being preceded by some carols
and prayer, and at the end special Christingles were given out and so
signifying the joy and light of Christ coming into the world.
The Methodist Minister lovingly explained their meanings and then we
sung more carols before a final prayer of blessing. It was an
immensely joyful afternoon, following by tea and mince pies! In our
play, we were joined by others, some new to acting - and it was a good
experience for us working together - learning words, sorting our
costumes, working our movements, helping one another. Four-out-of-four
to Stage One, we felt!
