Jingle Jam - Christmas Program
Get ready to jingle ALL the way! 🎄 Our high-energy, laugh-out-loud, heart-warming Christmas play is coming Sunday, December 14, and we want every kid and student on the team—on stage, backstage, and everywhere in between.
Rehearsals kick off Sunday, October 19. We’ll have a simple, family-friendly schedule and bite-size parts so kids and youth can shine with confidence. New to performing? Perfect. Love to sing, act, dance, narrate, or help make the magic happen behind the scenes? Even better!
Who can participate?
- Kids & Youth: All ages welcome—there’s a part for everyone (speaking, singing, acting, dance, narrators, readers, choir, and more).
- Adult Volunteers: We need you! Roles include rehearsal helpers, small-group shepherds, set/props, costumes, hospitality (cookies & cocoa!), stage crew, and tech (sound/lights/projection). No experience necessary—just a cheerful spirit.
Why Jingle Jam?
Because our community loves celebrating the story of Jesus with joy, creativity, and big smiles. Kids and youth discover their gifts, friendships grow, and families make memories that last.
How to Join
- Let Brooke know you would like to join!
- Mark your calendar: First rehearsal is Sunday, 10/19 (full schedule will be provided at rehearsal).
Let’s fill the stage, the halls, and our hearts with Christmas cheer. Calling all kids, youth, and grown-ups—come help us make Jingle Jam unforgettable!
