Wilson Christmas Parade

For the past few years our church has had a float in the Wilson Christmas parade, and this year was no different. The theme for this year was that we are to reach out to the people of Wilson as Jesus would and we are to be Jesus to the community and to the world, so we had the kids dress as different people in the community and we had Jesus on the float with them (He is the only one able to keep them in line, LOL). We had to have the truck decorated as well so we came up with a rendering of some commonly know images of Wilson (commonly known to those from Wilson anyway). There were also dancers walking behind the float (everyone said they looked like angels) and behind them were people holding banners lifting up the name of the Lord.
