| Catch the Christmas Spirit finds our characters taking time out in the middle of the "busy-ness" of Christmas to read the Christmas story. As they read, the story comes to life around them. You will "clap" for joy, sing the "blues" with the shepherds, and "make room", once again, for the celebration of Jesus' birth. Click here for a script excerpt. |

"I like that it's for Jesus and it's fun." Josie, 4th Grade
“The children really enjoy singing this Christmas music. The songs are upbeat and fun and, at the same time, deeply spiritual. The children’s faith comes alive. You can see it on their faces during the practices and performances. But the best part is that they will carry this music and its powerful message with them for the rest of their lives.”
"'Catch the Christmas Spirit' was a joy to work on with our Sunday School kids. Thank you for creating an awesome show that was special and entertaining and meaningful."
"Thanks for the musical. I can't stop humming those songs . . . they are so sweet!"
"Thank you for supplying us with the perfect Christmas musical. Not only have my youth enjoyed learning the music, but more importantly . . . . they have come to learn the true meaning of Christmas."
"I just wanted you to know your Christmas musical was a hit. I had 13 children performing and they were great!"
"Thank you for the musical. The tunes are so catchy that even the younger ones seem to be learning the words fine and they're having lots of fun 'inventing' actions."
"Wow! Your Christmas musical was fabulous! The children loved it - as a result they sang their hearts out! The adults loved it! Thank you."
"Thanks for including traditional Christmas carols with your new original music. The children enjoyed the movements, especially the sign language. The important message wasn't lost in extravagant costuming or elaborate sets. Because of the small number of children participating, this was crucial for our church."
