— from Meredith Griffith —

OCCPageantA group of local kids will perform a Christmas pageant called “On Our Way to Bethlehem” on Sunday, December 13 during the 9:30 a.m. service at Orcas Island Community Church.

“It is a fairly traditional Christmas pageant that asks the question, ‘Are we ready to receive the Christ child? What gifts can we bring?’ ” said organizer Lorena Stankevich.

The 40-minute program involves talking (and singing) cows, sheep and a donkey, shepherds, kings and angels, and incorporates trusty old favorite Christmas carols.

Everyone is welcome to attend.
