Joyland Christmas Celebration (JCC) was such a busy time and not just for Joyland teachers. Out of the woodworks came members from all different ministries to lend their hands for prop-making, kid control, actor coaching and all sorts of technical behind-the-scenes activity that was essential to the celebration. People turned out for our all day Saturday dress rehearsal and the following day’s rehearsals, last minute run-throughs, costume touch-ups, beautification, not to mention all of the food that sustained the kids and crews! And the crews seemed to keep growing as the days progressed. Wherever I took kids, there were all of these aunties and uncles that just appeared out of nowhere to keep the kids in line, quiet and entertained; all done lovingly, cheerfully and with fresh smiles! Life at Gracepoint is never dull and JCC is one event that takes the whole church to pull it off.
