The Four Voices Of Christmas

Congregants can make a deeper connection with the Christmas Story as they hear fresh perspectives from Mary, a shepherd, a wiseman, and Joseph. This unique service gives voices to key witnesses of the Christmas Story. The Service unfolds as each of the four characters shares their personal journey and divine encounters. 

Do this as a service or as an intergenerational event. This can be done with the “voices” standing off stage and using a microphone, or with the voices dressed in character on the stage. 

Conclude the service with a Candlelighting Ceremony (glowsticks are optional for children). 

Two to ten+ participants are needed for this service. 

This product includes:

• Order of Service
