Lustre News
The 2021 MB Church Christmas program, Really, Really, Really Good News,
was presented Sunday night, Dec. 19, to a large crowd. It began with the preschool class asking what really good news would sound like. In answer, the junior department in full costume answered questions of those who had never heard the account of Christ coming to earth. A junior choir directed by Mindy Olfert sang The Good News, Go Tell the Story, Mighty King with three soloists, We Three Kings (complete with camels) and ended with a rambunctious rendition of Joy to the World.
The program was directed by Lisa Neufeld and Debbie Lenihan.
