Take a rollicking ride to Snowflake County-a place where Christmas celebrations have become so extravagant they threaten to over shadow the simplicity of Christmas'true meaning. It seems the only one who understands the secret of Jesus' simple birth is little Suzy Hallmark-but no one is listening. It will take a series of crazy mishaps during the community's annual seasonal program before the noise stops and everyone realizes that Christmas isn't about how brightly lights and decorations shine-it's about Jesus, the light of the world. Christy Semsen has once again combined her tuneful songs and clever dialogue with a strong spiritual theme in this delightful musical that is as contemporary as today's headlines. Daniel Semsen's sparkling accompaniment tracks feature musical styles that range from pop to rock to rap and polka. (There are even country line dancing angels and tap dancing wise men!) A full-color Teacher's Resource Kit and a performance IVD are available, providing all the production help you'll need. In addition to long-sleeve and short-sleeve T-shirts, you can also purchase Fun Paks for your choir to use in performance and keep as a souvenir. Your children and congregation are going to love their visit to Snowflake County, where the secret is out: Christ is the center of Christmas!

Today we have the freedom to demonstrate our faith as we pray in public, attend church or witness to others. But what if our faith in God was judged only by our response to crisis? Queen Esther kept her faith a secret to silently influence the Persian court, but it was dramatically demonstrated when she risked her life to plead for the salvation of her people. In Kathie Hill's Esther-Ordinary Faith, your children will learn the value of a living faith as they create a first-hand account of the events in Esther's life. In the musical, a fictional scribe, Zerox, details Esther becoming queen through God's intervention in Haman's plot and Mordecai's appointment as the king's adviser. And, as Zerox tells the story, he experiences the testimony of Esther and develops his own faith in God and His grace. All this is done through gritty songs and witty dialogue between these characters and the residents of Susa, the Susans. Songs like God Is in Control, The Eleventh Hour, While You Sleep and In That Moment, will help children understand the sovereignty of God and the confidence we can have in trusting Him with the greatest of problems by displaying our own Esther-Ordinary Faith! Ages: 2nd - 8th Grades.
