Christmas On The Moon 2009

Calvary Apostolic Church’s Christmas play in 2009 was OUT OF THIS WORLD!
We were privileged to have Brother Terry Vik to work with our young people for two weeks in preparation for
“Christmas on the Moon,” that he both wrote and directed. The youth enacted the importance of keeping
a life focused on Jesus Christ in the midst of things that could distract us from Him.

The stars, Sister Danielle Porquis and Brother Sam Diaz, arrived on various planets via a
custom-built rocket by Brother Dominick Porquis. “Saturnites” were tempted to desire money over giving to others,
“Jupiterites” were obsessed with useless learning, “Marcians” were concerned about constructing buildings
simply for the sake of building, the lives of “Neptunians” were absorbed in their entertainment.
The planetary sets were inspired by our Academy children and made into life-sized props by our resident artist,
Brother Adam Stewart. Concepts of the scenes were emphasized by songs from the
Praise & Worship singers and tiny stars, the pre-schoolers. Always a highlight, the dowel rod team enacted
“One Wintery Night,” and “The End of the Beginning,” with a superb performance by Brother Adrian Elias.

On both nights, the youth’s drama presented a good reminder that living for the Creator,
who came to this planet to be our Savior, should be the reason for everything we do.
