Yesterday we had our first rehearsal for the next Lumsden Beach Camp Musical Fundraiser. The musical this year is Cool in the Furnace, about Daniel's three friends Shadrach, Meshach and Abednigo who get thrown into the fiery furnace for refusing to bow and worship the king's statue. This is the eighth year of these musicals and Cool in the Furnace was the first one we did 7 years ago. During our White Gift Musical, I was wearing a child's soldier breastplate for one part and 11 year old Nathan was giggling in that moment (trying not to laugh out loud!) as he noticed that I was wearing what he wore when he was a guard in Cool in the Furnace when he was 5 years old!! He has been in all of the musicals and remembers the stories of each one. I have had conversations with parents and grandparents who notice how much the children take in of the story and learn about the message of God and God's people through participating in the musical. It is truly Christian Education. And it is accomplished in a very fun way that is also wonderfully multi-generational. We have had casts that included ages 2-80! It is truly a wonderful opportunity, not to be missed. So if you can participate, please join us. You won't regret it!
