About Christmas Wonders
A unique collection of ten original songs and Bible readings, designed to be appropriate for presenting the Christmas Story in different contexts and settings:
As a Christmas concert
- Performing the collection of songs in the book order tells the Christmas story in music
- Can be enhanced by adding the recorder and/or percussion parts
As a Christmas Service
- A ready-made service including eight Bible readings, ten songs and a prayer
- Not all songs need to be performed in order to tell the story, so it is possible to 'pick and choose'
- It would be appropriate to add traditional Christmas Carols to supplement the service
- Three of the songs have optional recorder parts, and there are also some suggestions for use of percussion
- Christmas Service can be combined with mimed play (below)
As a mimed play
- Suggestions for performing the story in mime
- As above, can 'pick and choose' songs and/or add traditional carols
For collective worship/assemblies
- The Christmas story can be celebrated in a series of acts of worship, with each successive reading and song adding to a fuller experience of the wonder of the birth of Christ
