The Worst Christmas Pageant ever?

At first the children think that their annual Christmas pageant is going to be the worst ever, because the worst kids in the school, the Herdman family, have suddenly turned up at Sunday School, and they are mucking everything up, just as they do at school.

But before too long, these rough pagans are teaching everyone about Christmas, as they hear the story for the very first time.

The Best Christmas Pageant Ever is a fun book that makes you think. It is easy to read. Primary school children should be able to tackle it easily.

I'm on my 3rd read-through and enjoying it just as much as the first time.


It's a great book to give and to read before Christmas, which is what I'm doing.

The author manages to get across many of the points of the Christmas story without preaching.

What are you waiting for?

Christmas in February?

When is it too early for a Christmas song? I hope it's never to early to ponder the wonder of God becoming Man.



I love the words of this song, discovered today (and the music).

Putting Santa in his rightful place.

A great photo snapped by Trevor Cairney, Louise Blencowe's father, illustrating the truth of John 1:14 which tells us that God's Word (Jesus) became flesh, and pitched his tent among us. It's as if God came down to earth and pitched a tent in our front yard.

I also like the place given to Santa in this family's front yard!

Welcome to BEC's new blog

In just ten days, over 2 million people have viewed the seemingly impromptu lunch time performance of The Hallelujah Chorus from Handel's Messiah in an Ontario shopping mall food court.

The event was an advertisement for Alphabet Photography, whose manager explained that she wanted to advertise her company and give people “a little bit of Christmas.”

Many of the more than 2000 people who have commented on the video have expressed the desire that this Christmas might really be a time when people acknowledge that

the Lord God omnipotent reigneth

and that he is

King of kings, and Lord of lords

Now that’s the kind of Christmas that excites us BEC folk.
