A St. Louis Christmas
Synopsis: Miss Rudolph’s kindergarten-seventh grade class has experienced some scheduling issues due to the pandemic. They have two important programs to put together. One is a recognition of Missouri’s 200th birthday, and the other is the celebration of the birth of Jesus. There is not enough time to do both. With Miss Rudolph’s encouragement and some creative, hard work by the students, both programs are combined into one, and the result brings joy to all who attend.

Bethlehem, Bethlehem
What is that we see?

Bethlehem, Bethlehem
What is that we see?
Jesus in a manger, He was born for you and me.

Earth was full of sin
God, He had a plan
Jesus came to Earth
He became a man

Jesus died and rose
Washed our sins away
That is why we celebrate this
Joyful Christmas day….oh….

“Take Me Out to the Manger” (K-7th Grade)

Take me out to the manger
Take me out to the straw
Let’s take a look in the tiny stall
God’s only Son who came down for us all
He’ll grow up obeying His Father,
Then He’ll die for our sin
After 1, 2, 3 days He’ll rise
And our God will WIN!
(repeat)

But we know the best thing
Is the birth of God’s Son
We wish you a Merry Christmas
We wish you a Merry Christmas
We wish you a Merry Christmas
Our…show… is…. now… doooooooone.
