Costume Committee Announcement:
Star of Bethlehem was once again a great success. If you had signed up to participate, either in a specific set or as a villager, your costume needs to be picked up in Jarrett Hall. Taken home, washed, dried, iron if needed and returned back to the Church within 2 weeks.
Even the cast that were scheduled for only Sunday, your costume has been on the rack with others that smell like firewood smoke.
Thank you for your participation, but this element of the Star is always challenging, and the costume committee appreciates everyone’s cooperation.
