The Story: A Christmas Suite - A Twelve-Minute Christmas Celebration for Choirs and Congregations.

The Story is a tender, touching celebration that indelibly writes the story of Jesus’ birth on every heart. It transports congregations through time to share in the events—and emotions—of that miraculous night in Bethlehem. Visually magnificent film segments from the classic Matthew and The Birth of Christ are set like jewels in a compelling score of favorite carols uniquely arranged by Christian music luminary Dave Williamson. A Christmas gift of unparalleled wonder and joy, The Story unerringly finds the shortest distance between the eye of the beholder and the heart of the believer.
