About Christmas Wonders

A unique collection of ten original songs and Bible readings, designed to be appropriate for presenting the Christmas Story in different contexts and settings:

As a Christmas concert

• Performing the collection of songs in the book order tells the Christmas story in music
• Can be enhanced by adding the recorder and/or percussion parts

As a Christmas Service

• A ready-made service including eight Bible readings, ten songs and a prayer
• Not all songs need to be performed in order to tell the story, so it is possible to 'pick and choose'
• It would be appropriate to add traditional Christmas Carols to supplement the service
• Three of the songs have optional recorder parts, and there are also some suggestions for use of percussion
• Christmas Service can be combined with mimed play (below)

As a mimed play

• Suggestions for performing the story in mime
• As above, can 'pick and choose' songs and/or add traditional carols

For collective worship/assemblies

• The Christmas story can be celebrated in a series of acts of worship, with each successive reading and song adding to a fuller experience of the wonder of the birth of Christ
