Guess Who's Coming to Bethlehem?
(A Christmas Musical for Children)—
Michael & Jill Gallina.
Here is a heartfelt, fun and
moving Christmas musical that's perfect for kids.
The animals in the Bethlehem stable have been
informed of the coming Messiah, but they aren't
quite sure who it will be. The lamb naturally thinks
it's a lamb; the dove thinks it's a dove who will come
and bring peace, and the other animals have their
own thoughts as to who this mysterious visitor will
be. Through easy-to-prepare-and-present songs
and rhyming dialog, this adorable musical tells the
Christmas story in a fresh and creative way.

The Light Before Christmas (Celebrating
Candles and Carols)—Joseph M. Martin.
Written especially for older elementary choirs and
younger youth choirs (grades 4-8), "The Light Before
Christmas" celebrates Advent's joyful anticipation of
Christ's birth. The five candles of the Advent wreath
provide the central focus for this service of light
that culminates in the lighting of the Christ candle
and the arrival of Christmas. Highlighting Advent's
messages of hope, peace, joy and love, this unique
work may be presented as a full musical or individual
songs can be performed as featured anthems during
the Advent/Christmas season. New songs, familiar
carols, and thoughtful narratives join together to
create a truly memorable worship experience filled
with the expectation of Christ's coming and the
celebration of His birth.

Light of the World—Mark Patterson.
This well-crafted musical combines original songs
and familiar carols from around the world to tell the
Christmas story. Through narration, drama, and
song, choristers share how Jesus came to be the
"Light Of The World" over 2,000 years ago. The
narration begins with the story of creation, turns to
the prophetic words of Isaiah, and then recounts
the events of Jesus' birth. Optional descants and
accessible second parts enrich the experience and
help develop part-singing skills. Throughout the
musical, a single burning candle symbolizes the light
of Christ. This light is shared with the congregation
at the close of the musical with an invitation to "take
the Light" out into the world. Performance time:
30-40 minutes.

The Loaned Manger (The Wild West
Christmas Adventures of the Loaned
Manger)—David Guthrie, Rob Howard
& Steve Moore.
In the small western town of
Incarnation, Christmas is celebrated with grit,
giddy-up, and gusto. They like to think of themselves
as "the most Christmasy town in the west." 1891
is the year that two big "signs o' progress" could
spell either trouble or opportunity. The railroad has
finally punched through with the grand opening of
Incarnation Station, bringing visitors for the first time
from far and wide to take in their Christmas festivities.
And, the advent of the electric light promises to
revolutionize their nativity program. Some fret that all
the expected "outsiders" could threaten the peace
of their quiet town, and maybe bring in desperadoes,
while others see the chance to spread the Good News
of the birth of Jesus. Round up some rambunctious
cowpokes, some forward-thinkin' townsfolk, a manger
on loan, and a lot of raucous yee-haw for a real
Christmas Adventure of the Wild West.

The Night Shift Before Christmas
(A Musical for Kids)—David Guthrie,
Rob Howard & Steve Moore.
It's a late-night
crowd... the cook, the waitress, travelers for the
census, the innkeeper, troublemaking shepherds,
and camel drivers. The big news about a little baby
travels fast around Bethlehem — even in the wee
hours of the evening at the all-night Falafel House,
Bethlehem's 24-hour roadside cafe. It's Bethlehem's
only 24-hour restaurant, and owners Flo and Mo
are proud of the fact that they've never closed their
door... until, perhaps, tonight! As the information
stacks up, they've got to make the big decision to
go see for themselves. Super-fun story, super-cool
music that even the older kids will love, but a solid
gospel-based celebration of the birth of the Savior.

On Our Way to Bethlehem—John Jacobson

Take the journey...then and
now...to Bethlehem. This musical is a perfect way
to showcase the younger children, who portray
the Biblical characters in rhyming dialog, while the
older youth share the significance of the journey as
it relates to today. The easy-to-learn songs add to
the telling of the story. Include your younger children
and youth in this meaningful message of our journey
to the manger. 25 minutes.

A Play in a Manger—David Guthrie,
Rob Howard & Steve Moore.
The town is
preparing their annual Christmas Extravaganza,
but this year it's going to be bigger and better
than ever, a real over-the-top display. Excitement
mounts as the writer and director (and legend in
his own mind), Cecil DeVille, calls for pyrotechnics,
sky-diving angels, dancing camels, and more. It's
obvious that this year's event will be the greatest
ever! But when catastrophe sends those grand
plans up in smoke, their amazing production
becomes an epic fail. Visions of grandeur are
replaced with the beauty and power of the simple
truth of Jesus' birth: The Son of God, born to
humble parents and lying in a simple manger, has
come to redeem the world. Now that's epic!
