Jazz Nativity 2017

filed in:

If you have been following our journey for any length of time, you knew that this post was coming!!! I’ve been a part of Jazz Nativity at our church for SIX YEARS!! I sadly had to skip it in 2013 because we had booked a destination wedding outside of the country that weekend. That Christmas season just didn’t seem the same! There is something about Jazz Nativity that officially begins the Christmas season for us! This year was the TENTH anniversary of JAZZ NATIVITY and it was year to be remembered! I think it’s safe to say that this was one of my favorite songs that I have been able to be a part of!

I had the chance to sing alongside two young girls who are so talented and sweet!! It’s such an honor to be a part of this amazing show!! If you want to see PAST years, just CLICK HERE! 

The team that puts Jazz Nativity together starts planning almost a year in advance! This year was special because we switched from performing and hosting the event in the sanctuary of the church to putting it on in the brand new gym!! Thousands  of people were in attendance and that meant a lot of new logistics to figure out!

Parking, lighting, seating, a new sound system, etc. The entire team worked long hours and put in so much hard work to make this year happen. It was amazing!!! The 10th anniversary show did not disappoint and I’m excited to share some pictures and a video of our song!!! This song was at the end of the show and while it’s a little lengthy…. it’s worth watching!!!!!! I start around minute 3 but don’t miss the beginning! The ending is the fun part. :) Singing alongside of Bridgett and Grace was so much fun! I just love them! Enjoy!!!!

Ps. Thank you Michael and Tyler Herrinton for filling in when I couldn’t shoot!!


Thanks for reading!
