| Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol" is the
classic story of redemption, transformation, hope, life and new
opportunity. It is the story of a second chance. To this
end Scrooge becomes the archetype of Christmas. he is the
reason for Christmas even as he is the result of the birth of
Christmas in the human heart. if we will be honest with our
self, his story is our story -- with all of its potential, lost
chances, self-awareness and new opportunity. |
| Dickens challenges each of us by ending his
story with the description of a new Scrooge: |
| And it was always said of him that he
knew how to keep Christmas well, if any man alive possessed the
knowledge. May that be truly said of us, and all of us! |
|
| He challenges us to keep the spirit of
Christmas in our heart each day of the year. |
| Our production of Dickens' "A Christmas Carol"
is a direct result of our endeavor to keep Christmas in our heart.
To further assist this endeavor, the membership of First Christian
Church has developed a special program structure to help live the
spirit of Christmas each day. You will find the program detail
on the Honoring Christmas page. We
recommend it to you and encourage you to join in Honoring
Christmas In Your heart All year Long. |
| An endeavor such as this could never happen
without the many people who donate their time and talents in
planning the event, recruiting advertising, serving as cast, stage
crew, directors, production team and even you for sharing this gift.
A special "Thank You" to each and every one for your role in making
this dream come true. |
| As Tiny Tim observed, God Bless Us, Every One! |

| This production of Dickens' "A Christmas
Carol" is achieved through the efforts of volunteers, many of whom
are not members of the First Christian Church. Without this
volunteer help it would not be possible to undertake this gift to
the community. If you would like to participate in the next
production please contact us. |
| Assistance is needed in all areas of the
production: Cast, musicians, props, tickets, refreshments,
sound system, lights, costumes, decorations, backstage crew, and
securing sponsors. |
