Ginger Breadhouse, Carolyn Bells, Holly Branch, Candy Cane, Mary, and...Ned, Ted and Jed! These are a few of the names to be found among the cast of the new Simply WordKidz Christmas musical, The Christmas Cross! Created by Jeff Slaughter, with tracks produced and arranged by the team of Preston and Spencer Dalton, The Christmas Cross is a super-easy-to-learn, 27-minute musical designed to help you celebrate the season with the perfect setting for your kids choir!

In the opening scene, Miss Carolyn Bells, our children's choir director, is leading the kids through their first rehearsal for this year's Christmas Extravaganza. As they begin to share their thoughts on Christmas, the heart of the story comes to the forefront as Mary begins to tell everyone about the Christmas Cross - a very special ornament with special significance - an heirloom, handed down by her grandmother. As she explains the meaning behind the ornament...You can't have Christmas without the Cross..., this fun, lighthearted musical is beautifully and simply transformed into a powerful message about the love of God and the message of the Gospel.

Full of great new songs, in tandem with traditional carols and a humor-filled, Biblically-sound script, The Christmas Cross highlights Jeff Slaughter's signature brand of creativity. And, for the first time, he brings his unique style and infectious spirit to the Simply WordKidz Series, a fresh line of EZ-to-Sing-EZ-to-Perform musicals designed for both excellence and accessibility by the smallest of choirs, or for choirs with little rehearsal time. Bring an extra dose of Christmas cheer to your performance through the use of the production-enhancing DVD Accompaniment Track available, from WordKidz.

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!
