Road to Christmas - at Casey City Church
This is a duplicate post from www.caseycc.org.au
I would like to especially thank those involved in making the Road to Christmas event a success! So many people put in so much work. It was an amazing night.
And thanks to all of you that attended our Grand Opening event. We hope you felt extremely welcome and hope you enjoyed the night.
I have posted a small selection of images from the night here, but you will find the entire gallery from start to finish here: Road to Christmas Gallery
We also hope to post some video up eventually and will keep you posted!
The night began with some pre-entertainment from our talented Hip Hop Dancers - Robyn and Peter

People started to fill the MPC auditorium. What a blessing to be able to partner with Hillcrest Christian College and utalise this magnificent venue!

Justin Michael (Compliments of Gus) took to the stage to begin the night.
The children were loving it!
We had a number of carols and items to start with, but I think one of the highlights for many was “Oh Happy Day” with Asahel Halstead and Chris Sebastian leading. We really had “church”
We came to the part of the night where the Angels entered… Thus began our Road to Christmas production.
I won’t tell the entire story of the production, except to say - Dorothy and Toto were out to find the true meaning of Christmas. I’ll let some of the pictures tell the story. (more at the gallery)
At the conclusion of the musical, it was only fitting that the Angels introduce Guy Sebastian (Angels brought him here - yes I know bad joke… Well there were a few of those during the night!)
Guy decided to get some exercise because he had been sitting for so long and his tight jeans were cutting off the circulation to his feet. So he had the kids chase him around the auditorium for a few dollars in his pocket!
After this little stint around the MPC, Guy proceeded to sing “Jesus, What a Wonderful Child”
Guy then invited brother Chris up to join him for a favourite, “Have yourself a Merry Little Christmas”
Guy really encouraged the crowd to get into that last note of “Silent Night”
Larry Sebastian ended the wonderful night with a timely message, and the Casey City Church Band finished with The Hallelujah Chorus, Angels we have Heard on High and We Wish you a Merry Christmas.
