First Baptist ballet raises funds for India

Join First Baptist of Gulf Breeze in worship Saturday Dec. 15 at 6 p.m. In HIS Steps Christian Dance Studio and Performing Arts Center will be presenting their third annual original Christmas ballet entitled "Silent Night."

The dancers will bring the story of Jesus' birth to life in a new way.

This year's performance will be dedicated to the underprivileged children in India. Church members are asking for anyone that would like to support this project to bring a back pack and a $10 donation to the performance.

In HIS Steps partnered with Net India to collect backpacks to support the Christmas in a Backpack fundraiser. The $10 will be used once the backpacks reach India to fill them with items of necessity. Organizers promise that The Gospel will be presented. For more information on this project, visit www.netindia4him.net.
