Jingle Jam

JINGLE JAM 2007! Jingle was an event we held on November 30th in our Worship Center. The Curriculum we use, 252Basics, is now writting these programs for churches that they can put on four times a year. We used the Jingle Jam program to kick off our December virtue of PEACE and to showcase or Mainstreet and Rooftop Elementary Program. Mainstreet is what we call our small group hour and Rooftop is what we call our large group hour.

All in all, Jingle Jam was a great event! We had over 2,300 people there! And 25% of our attenders did not have a church home, We used "Frosty" as our hook and we paraded him all over our church, community events, and even on a local news station. My favorite aspect of Jingle Jam was "The Little Drummer Boy." It's the picture on the bottom left. We had a soloist sing the first verse of the song, and it was really slow and beautiful. Then we had one of our middle school boys, dressed in an old drummer boy costume, come walking up the middle aisle playing a drum. By the time he reached the stage we had the mandarin high drumline dressed as STOMP playing trashcans, and then we ended on a really powerful note with the music, trashcans, and our drummerboy all at once! It was amazing. We actually stole the idea from my old church Calvary Chapel (don't worry I called and asked permission). You can look up the orginial on youtube if you just type little drummer boy and Calvary Chapel Fort Lauderdale.
