Christmas Breakfast video premier

Here’s how you and your bubble can prepare for and contribute to the fun:

Start frolicking NOW! Send us your lip sync video. Record a video of you or your bubble lip syncing and dancing to this recording of “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer!” Send your video to christianaostoich@churchrez.org by the end of next Wednesday, December 16th, and we’ll put them all together! Feel free to reach out to Christiana if you have any difficulty sending your video.
Set up for our Christmas Breakfast video premier on Saturday, Dec 19:
1. Dress up in your silliest Christmas outfits, like goofy pjs, ugly sweaters or Santa hats.
2. Prepare your pancakes to consume while watching our zany antics on video.
3. Share a photo: Take a photo of yourself or your bubble before or during the video in your festive apparel and text it to 402.202.2469 by 10:10 am. We’ll show them at the end of the program! Bonus points awarded for flying pancake photos…
