Thank you to all of the CUCC Players for a pageant that lifted our hearts and reminded us of that God comes to us as a child.  A special thank you to Anne Bailey Zschau, who in addition to being the Children’s Education Coordinator, is our stage manager, costume mistress, casting director, and sag wagon.
