ADULT CHOIR CHRISTMAS PRESENTATION
|
"Welcome to Our World"
|
JESUS WAS ROYALTY in the truest sense...
and yet there was no royal welcome for him in Bethlehem.
NO RED CARPET was rolled out for his entry
into the human experience he shared with us.
HE CAME FROM a throne in heaven
to a feeding trough in a stable.
OUR PRAYER FOR YOU
is that the music and message
of our presentation
will cause you to welcome Jesus
more and more into your personal world.
