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.

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.

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.

On a hill just outside of Bethlehem, lowly shepherds were tending their sheep at night. They didn't get much company out there. People had been passing through for several days as the census was underway, but they hardly spoke at all as they walked by on their way to Bethlehem. Nobody really wanted to talk to the shepherds. That is, nobody except an angel! They may have been at the bottom of the social ladder in Bethlehem, but God chose shepherds to be the first ones to see the Savior! This is their story - what they heard and what they saw that marvelous night when God came to dwell with men. "Shepherds, Sheep and a Savior" is a 25 minute musical about one of the most familiar parts of the Christmas story. It features simple drama along with new songs and familiar carols your children will love to sing.
