Volunteers in this role will provide direction to the creative faith elements of the event. There will be a pageant for families (and anyone) to be a part of that will feel very casual, but fun! There will be a space to express feelings and hope in a visual way. There will be a love feast for folks to be a part of. There will even be Stations of the Christmas Story (think Stations of the Cross approaching Easter). Volunteers in this area will be assigned to a "space", but will also be knowledgeable about what exists in the larger space and can provide a brief overview of each creative faith element.
