SUMMARY:The Angels That Christmas Book Launch
DESCRIPTION:The Christmas Story is retold by author Jacqueline Johnson in the book\, The Angels That Christmas. Join us for the book launch event at the Chatham Wayside Inn on Cape Cod and enjoy chocolate chip and macadamia nut cookies with hot chocolate\, shared with friends and family. Cozy-up while listening to the story in different languages from Papa Bear\, Mama Bear\, and more: plus\, live Christmas music and dancing. \nSneak Peek – Back Cover: The Holy Son of God was on His way to Earth\, and angelic beings were given charge of the magnificent birth. Full of stars  and lights and heavenly song\, it was a spectacular gift from the heavenly throng. \nTo Bethlehem His parents traveled\, across the distant miles\, to a stable that was hidden far away from human eyes. Not a cave\, a lowly manger\, or a humble shed; the room was filled with angels\, clouds\, and lights instead. When all was still and the world was asleep\, the angels delivered the baby in a place transformed with peace. Then carols were sung and more lights displayed\, for that first Holy Christmas was here to stay. Merry Christmas!

Each session is designed to be practical and participatory\, with space to learn\, share\, and apply ideas together. \nAn optional discussion time will follow the workshop for those who’d like to stay and go deeper in conversation.

SUMMARY:MICHAEL W SMITH CHRISTMAS CONCERT W/ MARC MARTEL
DESCRIPTION:Multi-Platinum\, 3X GRAMMY award winning artist Michael W. Smith will be coming to Lowell\, MA for a Christmas concert with Marc Martel of the Queen Tribute Band\, The Queen Extravaganza. \nA Michael W Smith Christmas with Special Guest Marc Martel\nPresented By Balsam Hill® \nThis highly anticipated show will feature selections spanning GRAMMY® award winning artist Michael W Smith’s expansive Christmas repertoire. His heavily praised Michael W. Smith & Friends: The Spirit of Christmasfeatures collaborations with Vince Gill\, Lady Antebellum\, Little Big Town\, Martina McBride\, Carrie Underwood\, Jennifer Nettles\, Bono\, Michael McDonald and Grant. \nIn addition to the performance\, and in support of his longstanding relationship with Compassion International\, Michael is exclusively meeting fans each city who sponsor a child through the organization prior to the concerts and through the website www.meetmichaelwsmith.com. This “Compassion Meet & Greet” is an opportunity to learn more about the Compassion International’s child sponsorship experience and will include a photo and Meet & Greet opportunity with the artists. \nTo learn more about Compassion International\, visit www.compassion.com. \nAbout Michael W. Smith: Michael W. Smith has been releasing new music regularly and performing around the world to sold-out crowds for the last 35+ years. During his storied career\, he’s written over 35 #1 songs\, been honored with three GRAMMY® Awards and 45 Dove Awards\, one American Music Award\, was inducted into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame and has sold more than 15 million albums. His most recent USA Today\, Yahoo! Music and Billboard-acclaimed studio album A Million Lights and Parade\, Good Morning America-featured and GRAMMY nominated live worship album Surrounded have together become his 30th and 31st Top 10 hits on Billboard’s Top Christian Albums chart\, more than any other solo artist in history. He’s also given back to the global community.

He has also written several bestselling books\, including Old Enough To Know and Friends Are Friends Forever. For more information\, visit www.michaelwsmith.com. \nAbout Marc Martel:  \nLong before his YouTube videos went viral\, spawning an appearance on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” and a performance with the surviving members of Queen on “American Idol\,” Marc Martel spent 13 years recording and touring the globe with Canadian rockers Downhere. Not only did the rock band visit all 50 American States\, but also toured throughout Europe and even Northern Africa\, collecting worldwide acclaim and four Juno Awards in their native land. \nAfter paying their dues for more than a decade in a fifteen passenger van and finally graduating to a full-fledged bus\, the group wrote what they believed was the very peak of its artistry and expression\, but despite the private support of radio programmers\, the public never latched onto to what turned out to be Downhere’s swansong effort. Yet right around the time when that writing popped up on the wall\, Martel received an email from an industry pal with a link to a contest spearheaded by the actual members of Queen. \nAt first\, the front man almost passed on the opportunity\, but with some prodding from his wife and additional friends\, he casually cut a version of “Somebody To Love” in 2011\, and now 30 million cumulative YouTube and Facebook views later\, bolstered by the aforementioned “Ellen” appearance\, Martel was declared the victor. Even legendary Queen drummer Roger Taylor remarked to the Daily Record: “That voice. You listen\, close your eyes and you think it’s Freddie. It’s really uncanny.” For the last 6 years and over 160+ shows Marc has fronted Queen’s official tribute show\, The Queen Extravaganza.

SUMMARY:A Festival of Nine Lessons & Carols
DESCRIPTION:Childcare will be available for ages 0–4. RSVP is requested for childcare\, but not required. \n“Let us read and mark in Holy Scripture the tale of the loving purposes of God from the first days of our disobedience unto the glorious Redemption brought us by this Holy Child; and let us make this church glad with our carols of praise.” Music sung by the Sanctuary Choir and Congregation\, and accompanied by the Park Street Orchestra. \nSeating will be limited to sanctuary capacity; we recommend arriving 30 minutes early in order to be sure of getting a seat. Overflow seating will be available in the Fellowship Hall. \nHISTORICAL NOTE\nThe Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols was first sung in a wooden building which served as the first Truro Cathedral; it is said that the Rt. Reverend Edward White Benson\, who originated the service in 1880\, chose the time of 10:00 PM on Christmas Eve in order to “get the men out of the pubs early so they would not be drunk for the midnight service.” In 1918\, Eric Milner-White\, Dean of King’s College\, Cambridge\, adapted the service for use in the chapel at King’s. The service has remained virtually unchanged since that time\, and has spread through all the world. The hymns and carols vary in each service (though it is traditional to begin with Once in Royal David’s City)\, but the readings and other spoken portions are always the same\, even\, traditionally\, retaining the well-loved King James translation. The sound of the same words\, year after year\, becomes an echo of the unchanging significance and reality of the story. The music takes the role of reflecting on each text and exhorting the congregation. The tone of this worship service is both solemn and joyful\, reflecting the intimidating grandeur of the story—from Fall to Incarnation—and rejoicing in the love of God and the redemption that is ours through Christ.

SUMMARY:INVASION
DESCRIPTION:About 2000 years ago\, the eternal word of God invaded our world by becoming flesh and walking on the face of the earth (John 1:1-14). As followers of Christ\, we celebrate His miraculous birth regularly\, however\, during this time of the year we have the opportunity to make an even bigger deal of this INVASION as the whole world tunes in during the Christmas season. Come join us as we celebrate and worship the King of Kings through song\, dance\, spoken word\, rap\, art\, and musicianship. More than 5 Greater Boston church ministries will come together on this night to offer our artistic abilities to the glory of God\, and we are looking forward to you joining us. \nThe tickets are priced so that everyone can afford to come out so see you there on Saturday\, Dec 14th @6:30PM. Come for the show\, and stay for the afterglow with DJ Guital! \n  \nGrace and Peace
