Furtak Kids Sing in Church's Christmas Musical

In our on-going promise to get involved quickly here in Washington, we got the kids involved with the children's Christmas musical at our church. They performed the Miracle on Main Street by the Dove award winning composer/writers Clydesdale and Clydesdale.

Madisynne was even blessed by playing the Mother Mary.

December 9th - Performance at Kent Station

On December 9th the kids performed two sets at Kent Station a newly renovated part of the City of Kent. Prior to the event the pastor asked us to pray for good weather. I'll leave it up to you to make inferences but when the kids started at 2:00 p.m. the skies parted and the sun came out and when the last note was sung and the kids stepped off the stage the clouds closed up and it began to rain. Interestingly enough, a Baptist choir group was up next and the music leader said, and try not to laugh, "we prefer it this way". That would explain the two performance tents they had setup prior to the engagement.

On Saturday, December 16th, the kids performed for the Seniors from the various retirement homes in our area. I'm not sure if the kids or the seniors got more out of this engagement but either way they were both blessed.

On Sunday, December 17th, the kids performed at both Sunday services for our church. They did a great job and the congregation was moved enough by the performance to give the children a standing ovation. The Furtak kids made a lot of friends during this engagement and we look forward to future activities at the church.

In addition to the older girls performing this Sunday, Joshua's age group also performed two songs while dressed like lambs. The emotions ran the gamut from joyful cries to laughter over their cute performance.
