CHRISTMAS 2023/EASTER 2024

CHRISTMAS 2023/EASTER 2024………
The Annual Taste of Christmas at FBCBC, Sunday, December 17, 2023.

As has become our custom the last couple of years, our music ministry will have the opportunity to provide music for the occasion.  The plan is to have a variety show of Christmas music and anyone who wants to participate, is welcome to.
You can sing a solo or get a group together to prepare a selection for that evening.  You can sing a classic Christmas carol, or you can prepare a festive Christmas song that fits the occasion.

The past couple of years our theme has been centered around Christmas carolers during the mid 1800’s.  The choir dressed in period costumes and sang Christmas Carols and songs for the holiday season.

This year will be modern day, contemporary, we will just be us! 

Please let me know if you would like to participate in the music program for Christmas.  

EASTER 2024
“A Picture of Calvary” is the title of our musical/drama planned for Easter 2024.  
As I was searching for a Christmas Musical/Drama for 2023, I met over the phone a lady named Sandi Rebert, the writer and owner of Dramatic Difference Publications.  She sent several Christmas musicals to me to look over as a possible fit for our church.  She told me at that time that if I ever wanted to present an Easter Musical/Drama, she had one that had been presented many times and that there were souls saved and lives touched and changed from this musical.
My mind was still set on a Christmas Musical and I searched through all she sent, plus some from other companies. I never found the “one” that I felt was meant for FBCBC to present.

I was reminded of the Easter Musical that Ms. Sandi told me about in our conversation.  I called her and asked a little more about “A Picture of Calvary” and it quickly become obvious that this is where the Lord is leading for our music ministry.

I will be providing more information, casting for characters, choir songs, solos, duets and trio opportunities, narrator, stage managers, set builders and costume coordinators.
This one will be staged very differently.  Each character has their own monologue.  
Please let me know if you would like to participate in any capacity.

I leave you with a snippet of the opening to the musical/drama:
“Tonight, we invite you to step back in time with us, back over 2,000 years, to the foot of an old rugged cross.  As you do, you will meet people (not the characters of some fictional story, but real people, as real as you and I) who were a part of that scene so long ago.  Some were believers, some were not.  Some sought His death, others mourned it.  But each had a unique response to that Roman cross and the One Who was hanging there; the One hanging on the center of three crosses, the One over Whose head the inscription read, “Jesus of Nazareth the King of the Jews.”  
For His glory,
Debbie
