Penny Johnson works with the cast of the Union Church children's Christmas pageant during a rehearsal before it was presented in worship Dec. 22. Haley Tuck (see Page 9) makes a last-minute costume adjustment. Music director Stephen Edwards gathers the young singers to fine tune one of the songs. This year an especially large group of children were in the cast, so organizers had to find more halos, wings and donkey ears. A church member who is a master seamstress helped out at the last minute. (Jim Slonoff photos)
