For the 3rd straight year, First United Methodist Church presented a Christmas Puppet play for the children of the community. This year the performance was Zeke, The Lazy Stable Hand, a light hearted story of the birth of the baby Jesus as seen through the eyes of the person taking care of the animals in the stable.

The following pictures were taking on Sunday, December 17, 2006, just two days prior to the performance.
