2009 MVCA Christmas Program & Musical

What an amazing evening! The students of MVCA presented their 2009 Christmas program and musical to an audience of 100 guests which included family, friends, and supporters of MVCA. Thank you to Sue Crick for playing the piano, Pastor Jeremy Nelson for his message, Aven Tirrel for directing the musical, and the parents who supplied the goodies for the fellowship. Christ is definitely in our Christmas celebrations here at MVCA. Merry Christmas!!

Crafty Christmas This Morning

Countdown to Christmas - Day 2

Lita Stucky from the Studio Art Center here in Yankton spent part of the morning with the students of MVCA making Christmas ornaments. The students were very engrossed in their creative projects because you could here a pin drop most of the time. Very unusual for a room full of 14 kids!

Christmas Program and Musical Tomorrow ~ Finally!

The Christmas program and musical is scheduled for tomorrow (Friday, December 11th) at 7pm. A bit of a delay due to the wintery weather earlier in the week. We invite everyone to come and enjoy an evening celebrating the birth of our Savior. We are located at 305 W. 25th St. (behind Days Inn off Broadway).

A "Hoppin'" Good Time Today

Countdown to Christmas started today (one day delayed due to the snowy weather on Wednesday). Mr. Jim Rydell shared his hobby of raising and showing Dutch rabbits. Five of them made the trip to MVCA with Mr. Rydell and one docile bunny allowed fourteen different hands to pet its fur. Now that's NOT a wascally wabbit! (Click on photo to see a larger image.)

We Give Thanks

Today was MVCA's second annual Thanksgiving meal. The kids made and served a noon meal (ham, green bean casserole, baked potato, and pumpkin dessert) to the volunteers, donors, and families that make MVCA such a special place. The kids served 52 adults and 10 children. It was a full house! We are extremely blessed to have so many people who care about this school!!

Dr. Stan Haidle, founder of Mitchell Christian, was on hand to give the message during chapel which followed the meal. Thank you for your words of encouragement. (Click on each picture for a large image.)
