It's COOL in the Furnace!

It's COOL in the FURNACE

This year's Rosslyn Elementary School spring musical was "It's Cool in the Furnace" by Buryl Red and Grace Hawthorne. Once again, Erica teamed up with her friend Kim Remich (Rosslyn's elementary music teacher) directing the drama. This year's musical told the story of Daniel and his friends, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, facing the choice to be faithful to God against the persecution of King Nebuchadnezzar in ancient Babylon. It was a very fun night as the children shared the songs, dances and drama that they have been rehearsing over the past months -- they were fabulous!
