The stockings are hung, the tree is trimmed and the first snow
falls gently outside. What better a time to revisit the Christmas
story than now, especially on DVD. This multi-media production
tells the story of Jesus Christ through Bible scripture, dramatic
video and traditional songs
Chapters:
1. "In The Beginning" -Old Testament readings, images
portraying the
beginning of the earth and the coming together of all things

God's work, foretelling of the coming of the Messiah. Reading

Desiring".

soliloquy
of the "Magnificat." Christmas images accompanied by
"O Come, O Come
Emmanuel". 8:00

Bethlehem, the

Child is born and images of the Babe are enhanced by such tunes
