My daugher-in-law Kathy posted this on Facebook today. I really like the creativity of those who made it as a way to tell the story of the birth of our Lord Jesus. The arrangment of O Come, O Come Emmanuel is very nice.

“Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace, goodwill toward men!”
Luke 2:14 (NKJV)
Year after year churches put on Christmas programs not unlike this one. We thrill at the retelling of the story of the coming of our savior by our children, and are warmed by the sense of wellbeing that we have. We tend to think of this as a kind of backwards look into the past, as a memorial to what God has done in history by giving His Son to be our savior. While this is certainly true – Christmas celebrations are also an anticipation of what Jesus will yet bring to pass in the future.

Saint Nicholas
In a recent radio interview, Steve Wilkins talks about the history of Saint Nicholas and Christmas. In this wonderful interview Wilkins is given opportunity to talk widely about Church history, the calendar and the making of time, feasting and rejoicing in God’s goodness in this season. The interview can be heard here: Advent, Christmas, and the Saints
Last year I posted on this last year as well, with another interview by Steve Wilkins: The Advent Conspiracy

My brother-in-law, David Spears, recently encouraged us to put our Advent & Christmas Family Worship booklet on Amazon.com in Kindle format to give it a wider circulation. My dear wife has made it happen, and it is now available for download for all you Kindle users. He has been marketing his wife Rosanne’s book, I Serve, with some considerable success.
The book is still available from Doorposts.
[Funny thing: I typed my name into the Amazon.com search, and up it came! Somehow, it seems to me that once Amazon.com recognizes your name - you have finally attained to a new level of notoriety. But of course, how pathetic is it that someone would actually do this!]

Advent Resources
The former presiding minister of the Confederation of Reformed Evangelical Churches, Randy Booth, compiled “Readings and Devotions for Advent, the Twelve Days of Christmas and Epiphany” with contributions from various pastors of the CREC. It is available free of charge!
I wrote an Advent Booklet entitled “Advent and Christmas in Family Worship“
It is available from Doorposts, the family business of one of the families of Reformation Covenant Church. The Forster family has been a blessing to home school families accross the country.
