Book Description
You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen...but do you recall the story of Candlelight, the greatest and most important star in all the skies? Assigned as the star to watch over the town of Bethlehem, Candlelight the star doesn’t see many reasons to shine brightly. His town is dull and quiet, with not much going on. But Candlelight is about to find out just how special his little town actually is when an angel of God comes to him and tells him he must shine the brightest he ever has, as God is sending his Son Jesus, who will be born in Bethlehem to save his people. Candlelight’s Christmas is a wonderful Christmas story that reminds us that God gives all of us special skills—and that we, too, should always shine our brightest. About the Author Thomas A. Brown is retired from Eng. Westinghouse Electric and currently lives in Swarthmore, PA.

Popular Christmas songs such as "Silver Bells," "I'll Be Home For Christmas," and "Do You Hear What I Hear?" are combined with the traditional Christmas hymns.

Book Description
If you're looking for a fresh new approach to telling the old, old story -- what better way to celebrate the Christmas message than to do it from the viewpoint of the angels? From the promise to Abraham to its fulfillment in Bethlehem, angels are a vital part of the story. Angels We Have Heard is a beautiful service that combines many of the traditional elements of Christmas worship with brief dialogues between angels and a number of characters relating to the Christmas narrative. Along with candlelight, an optional communion celebration, and many of the favorite carols we all love to sing, the encounters described in the scriptures between angels and Abraham, Zechariah, Mary, Joseph, and the shepherds are paraphrased. There's also a short closing exchange between an angel and a contemporary person that sheds light on the meaning of Christ's birth for our modern times. This easy-to-use service is adaptable for any size congregation -- while a number of speaking parts are specified, it's easy to combine parts and use just two readers, allowing the participation of as many or as few as you wish. There's also a convenient order of service for use in bulletin preparation. And while designed for worship use, the drama of the angels speaking with and to different people through the ages can be used in other settings such as youth meetings or church school. Very little (if any) rehearsal is required -- this is a simple and versatile way to make the pageantry and drama of the biblical story come alive in your Christmas worship. A pastor's wife, Mary Lu Warstler herself became a United Methodist pastor who has served congregations in Akron and Bucyrus, Ohio. A graduate of the University of Akron and the Methodist Theological School in Ohio, her sermons have appeared in Pulpit Digest and Clergy Journal. This is Warstler's fourth CSS publication.
