Christmas is meant to be shared! Though it's a profoundly life-changing event, if we keep it to ourselves, we've lost the essence of Jesus' Great Commission. We need to take this ancient, beloved story and, with God's help, breathe into it fresh life and relevance. And that is exactly what Go, Tell It does. This exciting new Christmas musical for seniors from master arranger Marty Parks balances the power of its message with the ease of its preparation. (Large print! No repeats!) Marty has carefully selected and voiced the best of the traditional and contemporary songs of the season and woven them together with a convicting script for a single narrator. With its outreach focus, this musical is especially suited for a presentation in your community at a shopping mall, retirement home, or hospital. This year, don't just share the Christmas story, become part of it: Proclaim it! Sing and shout it! Go, Tell It!
