Christmas Program at Seadrift First Baptist Church

The night of December 21st Seadrift’s First Baptist Church celebrated the birth of our Lord with a beautiful candlelight service! Each congregant held a lighted candle while singing the beloved Christmas carol “Silent Night.” The program, also, entailed Christmas songs sung by the congregation, special music, Christmas scripture passages read by the youth, and Communion. Communion was given by Pastor David Parks to alternating groups of people at the Communion Table. Each group was given a brief devotion by the pastor. It was truly inspiring!
Pastor David Parks is the Interim Pastor at Seadrift’s First Baptist Church. He and his wife Shelley have been in ministry for forty years. They have pastored six churches and interim pastored five. They have one son and three grandsons.
The Christmas program was directed by Vickie Campbell. Her expertise made the program delightful. Vickie, commenting about the program, said, “It was the Lord working through me and we praise His name for the kids who showed up from our kid’s program.”
First Baptist’s youth program “Bible Journaling” has had upwards to forty children and youth in attendance and the program continues to grow!
Author’s note: I was so moved by this program. It was like watching your favorite Christmas movie… only better!
