A Christmas Carol All School Play
Christmas was not as revered a holiday in December 1843, when Charles Dickens published his novella, “A Christmas Carol.” It had fallen in decline and financial hardships were crushing much of England, draining away any sense of cheer. But it helped revive it mightily with its message
of generosity, humanity, charity, kindness and redemption.
In our own times of hardship, fear, division and distrust, whatever our faith, tradition or beliefs may be, let us lean into our shared humanity, empathy, and sense of care. Be the generous hand that helps someone struggling and, if struggling, take a leap of faith and accept an outstretched hand.
“God bless us, every one!”
John Sugden, Director (Excerpt from play program)
