This year I directed once again a drive through nativity with several changes and modifications. We also added an indoor marketplace that had hands on activities for all ages. It was two very cold and exciting evenings as cars drove through from all parts of the Hudson Valley and many came indoors for the activities. Special thanks to a staff of over fifty that gave this great gift to our community once again.

Check out the snippet above.  Who are these roughnecks???  Please leave a comment.

One of my major projects of late has been trying to go through old movies from the 50’s to see if they are worth putting to a DVD. Because there are so many, I decided I had to view them all, etc. etc. I ended up so far with 119 snippets that I videod from the screen to my digital camera. They capture the essence of what I want to preserve for the family. So, now I have downloaded them to my computer. Next step will be to burn them to DVD. That I have to figure out yet. So, keep posted.

Two of my favorite events at church this last year were our drive through living nativity 2006 (last December)

and our Vacation Bible School program this summer “Galilee by the Sea”  - Group Publishing.

We have had the Living Nativity for five years.  We started out with only three scenes.  This past years’ was incredible as we had a staff of over 50 people and lots of live animals.  We had five sets and traveling shepherds, wisemen and village people.   The weather was perfect too!! (for the mountains of NY)

I am happy to answer any questions you might have on doing the same programs in your local church.

One of my favorite things is playing in quartets and trios. We get to do this mostly for weddings.

I have been able to get around the Hudson Valley and see many resorts that I never knew were around and see the inside of many churches. It has also been a great experience seeing different religious ceremonies (and some not so).

This is my first attempt to learning how much of the world communicates. We have enjoyed reading our children’s blogs and other friends. I am hoping that this site will be used by my friends (you) to keep you informed of our life and activities.
