The service in Blyth United
Church took the form of a pageant
entitled “The Small One”. The
scene took place in a Mexican
village. The choir loft and chancel
were beautifully transformed to look
like a village in Mexico. A huge
backdrop painted by Deanna and
Shannon Snell and Don Kai, banked
by many white and red poinsettias
and white daisy mums, all looked
very real.
Rick Howson, Angela Schneider
and Anita Gross introduced the
pageant with their trumpets. Jerrod
Button brought his very stubborn
donkey, built by Don Kai, up the
centre aisle of the church saying that
he would have to get rid of him.
There were groups of peasants,
and Mexicans in costume. John
Ramirez attempted to dispose of the
donkey called “the small one” for
his friend. David Hessel and Ian
Caldwell acted as singing auc
tioneers.
The junior and intermediate
choirs, with Gail Lear at the piano,
sang appropriate songs throughout
the pageant.
Erin Bolger tried to explain why
donkeys were so stubborn, espe
cially at Christmas. This was done by
Joseph and Mary using a donkey to
travel to Bethlehem and after the
birth of Jesus, hordes of angels,
shepherds and wisemen appeared.
(Everyone in the Sunday School had
a part to play). Therefore, she said,
that the legend was that the donkey,
seeing all the wonderful happen
ings, had ever since thought them
selves very important.
It was also White Gift Sunday.
Susan Howson thanked all who had
helped and presented a floral gift to
Norma and Lorenzo Ramirez in
appreciation for the monthly birth
day cakes. Special thanks was
tendered to Gail Lear for filling in on
short notice. The children were all
given a treat after close of the
service. The grade four boys’ class
acted as ushers.
