God With Us: Celebrating
Christ’s Birth at Pleasant
Hill Adventist Academy
Celebrating Jesus is singularly the most important reason for the season and the focus of Pleasant Hill Adventist Academy’s annual Christmas music concert. Each year, the music department, along with the speech and drama class, present a dramatic interpretation of Christ’s birth through song, drama, use of live animals, and the creation of a Middle Eastern marketplace. Students help build the manger and paint the backdrop. From Pre-K students to high school seniors, everyone plays the role of angels, townspeople, kings, shepherds, Mary, and Joseph. Community members also come dressed as angels or townspeople to host the marketplace—which they fill with clay pots, leather crafting, carpentry, and Middle Eastern foods! This Northern California Conference school loves to bring the story of Christ’s birth to life for their community.
