“One Quiet Night”
“Christmas…Stress. They seem to go hand in hand. Why is it that the time of “Peace on Earth” is anything but peaceful?
In this “all-too-close-to-home” dramatic musical, a harried mom frantically pushes through the demands of the Christmas season until an unexpected accident stops her dead in her tracks. Left at home alone, unable to accompany her family to the Christmas Eve service at church, this mother discovers that the important thing at Christmas is not what holds her attention…it’s Who. Filled with humor, delightful new songs, and familiar carols, the truth of this real-life drama will impact the hearts of all who hear. There will be lots of laughter and maybe a few tears as we turn from our turmoil to seek the Prince of Peace…”One Quiet Night.” Presented by the IBC Christmas Choir on Dec. 10 at 6 p.m. and Dec. 11 at 10:30 a.m. at Immanuel Baptist Church on Highway 90 in Pace.
Olivet Baptist to Present Annual Christmas Musical
Sunday Dec. 18, at 11 am, the Olivet Baptist Church Sanctuary Choir will present, "I'll Be Home For Christmas." Created by Sue C. Smith and Russell Mauldin and masterfully arranged and orchestrated by Russell Mauldin, they have provided us with a touching insight into the spirit of the season with a wonderful blend of simple, but compelling drama and memorable songs.
This 35 minute musical is a classic celebration that will stir all who attend with heartfelt stories of Christmas. Giving is what Christmas is all about-God sending His one and only Son as a gift we did not deserve-the free gift of salvation!
This captivating retelling of the Christmas story combined with familiar classic songs and hymns, narrated by Brother Jim Fletcher, make "I'll Be Home For Christmas," the perfect musical for our Milton Community for 2011!
