“Emmanuel” is a breath of fresh air for our times. The musical opens with a child in Bethlehem singing “Can I be honest? Sometimes it feels like we’ve all been walking in darkness.” Drawing parallels between the lives of people in biblical times to our own challenges today brings a real, fresh glimpse of the reality of a Savior, God with us, no matter what we may face. Narrated by different biblical characters, including Mary and Joseph, Elizabeth and Zechariah, a spunky Angel G, two tap-dancing innkeepers and some crazy, game- playing shepherds! The fun continues as we watch the whole Christmas story play out!

PreK – 2nd graders will be singing a song prior to Emmanuel. An evening for the whole family – a cookie reception will follow.
