Jesus Our Treasure
Writers/Arrangers: Harland

Imagine being able to think back on the first Christmas with complete clarity and context, recalling everything, even down to the minute details experienced only by those who were there -those who felt it, saw it . . . lived it. For the shepherd Jacob, such is the case, and when his granddaughter Miriam inquires about his old shepherd staff, he is taken back to that night, just 40 years prior, when he saw the sky explode in brilliant angelic light and met Jesus Christ in Bethlehem. As Jesus became the greatest treasure in Jacob's life, so too will you be reminded afresh why Jesus is our treasure yesterday, today, and for always.

The Magi's story has so much to say to us - about trust, faith and the blessings of following God. The lessons learned by these steadfast travelers are beautifully illuminated in Dennis and Nan Allen's new dramatic musical Star of Wonder. We hear about the Magi through conversations among those who may have encoutered them on their journey; the merchant, who sold the Magi all of his frankincense and myrrh; the innkeeper's children, who observed the weary travelers laden with mysterious gifts; and the shepherds, who heard that the Magi had also met the Savior.Through their stories, which are combined with accessible Christmas songs both new and familiar, we are compelled to reconsider the most important journey of life: our journey to the Savior.

Wondrous Gift
Writers/Arrangers: Craig-Claar & Clydesdale
Publisher: Clydesdale & Clydesdale
Much of our Christmas celebration focuses on gift giving, beginning at the first Christmas when God presented mankind with the most magnificent gift it has ever received - the gift of salvation through His Son Jesus. Rediscover a new focus at Christmastime with Deborah Craig-Claar and David T. Clydesdale's Wondrous Gift, a powerful retelling of the Christmas story. Starting with our modern perspective on Christmas, the musical quickly asks the question found in the words of poet Christina Rossetti, 'What can I give Him?' Through the prophecies of Isaiah and Micah, and through the stories of Mary's visit from the angel, Christ's birth into our world, and the shepherds and angels acts of worship, the listener discovers that the only appropriate gift that we can give in response to Christ is our heart.
In Wondrous Gift, classic Christmas songs like 'The Little Drummer Boy' are woven together with newly written songs by Clydesdale and Craig-Claar. Two songs are included that your choir and congregation may already know: 'Prepare the Way' from the Rocketown Records project 'Gloria' and 'Treasure of Jesus' from the Steven Curtis Chapman project 'All Things New.' This musical offers your congregation and community the opportunity to accept the most wondrous gift ever given . . . salvation through Jesus Christ.

Mayhem in Bethlehem
Writers/Arrangers: Noel & Rouse
Publisher: PraiseGathering
Allow your children's choir to take you on a trip of time and imagination. Imagine the story of the first Christmas being covered by a television news network, like CBS, CNN or Fox News. Tune in as the Nosy News Network presents, "Mayhem in Bethlehem: 30 Minutes Special Report." Poignant and entertaining, yet easily staged and rehearsed, this musical is accessible for children's choirs of all sizes. Get to know Noah Lott, Vesta Gates, Freddy Factoid, Lorna Limelight, Randy Looney and more as they investigate the "who, what, when, where and why" of the Christmas story. Though long on imagination and laughs, the heart of this musical is the wonderful, true story of the gospel. In the midst of the mayhem is the matchless message, "Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel." (Isa. 7:14) As our skeptical Nosy News reporters get closer to Bethlehem, the mounting evidence for the Messiah gradually convinces them of the authenticity of Christ, as well as their need for the Savior. Surrendering their skepticism, as well as their hearts, they kneel at the manger to worship the newborn King.
