Ebenezer Scrooge: A Christmas Carol

New Life Fine Arts’ spiritually uplifting musical adaptation of the 1843 Charles Dickens’ classic tells the story of the tight-fisted curmudgeon, Ebenezer Scrooge, and his personal transformation as he is supernaturally confronted with the haunting truth of his wounded past, his spiritually impoverished present and his woeful future.

“Ebenezer Scrooge: A Christmas Carol” is directed by Concord composer, David MacAdam who wrote the adaptation while living in England, where it was first produced in 1984.

For over 25 years, thousands of NLFA patrons have been given an inspirational glimpse into the true meaning of Christmas and are encouraged to spread their holiday cheer throughout the year.

“I have always thought of Christmas time, when it has come round
— apart from the veneration due to its sacred name and origin,
if anything belonging to it can be apart from that —
as a good time;”

– Fred, Scrooge’s nephew in Charles Dickens, “A Christmas Carol”

Revelation in Ecumenical Perspectives

As a part of the Reformation Commentary on Scripture series, Rodney L. Petersen, (PhD, Princeton) along with Gerald L. Bray (PhD, La Sorbonne) have co-edited and published the volume on the highly enigmatic and consequential Book of Revelation under InterVarsity Press. Sixteenth-century Reformers, much like interpreters today, show a diversity of opinion on how Revelation is to be understood, whether through more spiritual and Last Judgment connotations, or as a snapshot in historical context. Much like the vast social and political upheaval in the time of the Reformation, we have called upon Rodney and his colleagues to remark upon Revelation in ecumenical perspectives today. Cooperative Metropolitan Ministries (CMM) and the Boston Theological Interreligious consortium (BTI), two of Rodney’s previous places of directorship, are helping to put this conversation together with friends—at the Boston University Marsh Chapel on Thursday, November 20, 2025, from 3-5pm—for an afternoon of retrospection and future revelation. (This will also be, in a way, an opening for AAR/SBL Boston, which begins the next day.) Click here to purchase the book

OneBoston Praise Concert

The purpose of this event is to bring together all children of God around the New England area regardless of Culture, race, or ethnicity for a memorable and uplifting  the Name of the Lord as the LORD commanded. We believe that God wants to use this coming together of HIS children not only to bless every individual but also to touch the foundation of this great country (like how he shook the wall of Jericho when the Israelites were praising Him and circling the wall). We are excited about the positive impact OneBoston Praise will have on the community of God’s children.
We are contacting local church organizations that share similar beliefs and are all about coming together for the purpose of God’s work. We would like every Christian organization and Churches to be part of this mission and also support us with prayer, financial assistance, and Guidance in any way for the event. This could include helping with promotion, or any other form of support that aligns with the church’s mission. We believe that by working together, we can make OneBoston Praise a truly special occasion that resonates with everyone in our community.
Thank You
