The story of faith is often reflected as a journey from darkness to light. The Old Testament speaks of Israel living in bondage and darkness, awaiting the light of the promised Messiah, and His coming is punctuated by light every step of the way: a bright angelic host proclaiming the news to Judean shepherds keeping watch over their flocks; a shining star inviting Magi from afar to the young Christ-child in an act of worship and praise. The book of John refers to Jesus as the light of all people (Jn 1:4). Jesus even referred to Himself as the light of the world (Jn 8:12). It is this imagery of light that provides the unifying thread for Behold the Star! This extended work for choir, narrators, and congregation is a blend of original and familiar carols. It may be performed in a single worship experience or in smaller segments over the weeks leading to Christmas. Behold the Star! is an inspirational reminder that Jesus, the light of the world, has indeed come!

Holding On to Christmas is something we love to do wrapping our arms around cherished memories; re-living the moments of Christmas that come to life in our hearts and minds year after year; being reminded of how much we are loved and how much we love in return; holding close those who make our lives special; expressing our love and thankfulness through cards and gifts, hugs and kisses, joy and laughter; sharing our love for one another around a cup of hot chocolate with Mom's homemade Christmas cookies; and hearing Dad, once again, read the Christmas story from the family Bible.Shared memories and more are at the center of the new Christmas musical, Holding On to Christmas, from beloved arranger Marty Parks. This delightfully charming, comfort-the-soul musical is a warm invitation to come sit by the fireside, wrap up in your favorite Christmas blanket, and reminisce about Christmas as, together, we celebrate family and friends, and most importantly, the Savior who was born so long ago on that first Christmas night in Bethlehem.Holding On to Christmas is a very special slice of Christmas-goodness that you will be excited to present to your congregation and community...a wonderful celebration of all we hold dear at this most special time of year!Song Titles: Christmastime * Holding On to Christmas * Sing a Song of Christmas (Carol Medley) includes Sing a Song of Christmas; Angels, from the Realms of Glory; Angels We Have Heard on High; and O Come, All Ye Faithful * In the Bleak Midwinter * The Birthday of a King * The Shepherds (Glory to God) * Behold that Star * Only God * Finale (Christmastime and Holding On to Christmas).
