Peace—Joel Raney. This gospel-flavored
musical reflects on the promise of peace
delivered by the angels on the night of Jesus'
birth. The iconic ballad Let There Be Peace on
Earth is used as musical bookends: its theme

end to provide an emotion-filled climax. In
between, the Christmas story is told through
scriptural narration and six beloved carols set
in a variety of styles ranging from jazz to gospel
to calypso. Accompaniment can be provided
by piano, full orchestra, or a smaller set of
rhythm parts arranged by Ed Hogan. Titles

Him; Bring Us Heavenly Peace; Once in Royal

Seekers of the Light—Lloyd Larson &
Mark Hayes. The world was lost in darkness.
Roman oppression weighed heavily, and
God's people were awaiting a Messiah. There
were astrologers, literally following the light of
the heavens and prophecies of the coming
Messiah. But there were other "seekers of the
Light": Mary and Joseph, simple shepherds in
a field, and the prophets. Then, it happened:
the Light of the World was born. Follow the
respective journeys of these "seekers of the
light" to learn what we can from their sojourns.
May we likewise seek and find The Light for
our journey... and transform our lives with a
fresh touch of God's miraculous grace and
gift of love. Songs include: Prelude; Sing We
Now of Christmas; Prepare!; Come Near to
the Manger; Angels Shout the News Tonight;
Hurry to Bethlehem!; Seekers of the Light and
Behold! Rise Up! Go Tell! Shine! 30 minutes.
