How can we adequately tell the story of our transcendent God becoming a

human being…becoming the poorest of the poor and the weakest of the weak…in order to give us His boundless, everlasting life? How can we celebrate such an event?

• The story should be retold both with time-honored tradition and with the newness of here and now.

• It should be celebrated with unbridled joy and with deep, quiet reflection.

• It should be sung with great power and with heartfelt tenderness.

• It should exalt our magnificent God with boldness and with childlike humility.

Such a retelling, such a celebration is our prayer for An Evening in December. May it give you a new glimpse of Emmanuel, God with Us, and fill your heart with a new song of thankfulness and praise.

A Christmas Carol: Scrooge in Bethlehem is an adaptation of Charles Dickens’ 19th-centruy English story, A Christmas Carol. In this merry adaptation Scrooge is the Bethlehem Innkeeper who refuses shelter to Mary and Joseph on that first Christmas night. His front desk clerk, Bob Cratchit, comes to their aid while Scrooge sleeps alone in his dark room in the inn. When God sends an angel with the Light of Salvation to Scrooge, the wretched man is forced to search his soul. Gradually he realizes that he has traded his soul for money. His final redemption reflects the promise of salvation for all, both poor and rich, in the birth of Emmanuel, God with us.

Composed for unison voices with fully-supportive keyboard accompaniment, each song also offers optional 2-part singing, frequently as call-and-response or canon. As an added bonus, reproducible song sheets are included for the singers, featuring both the melody and the lyrics.

Introducing the 2008-2009 Alfred Handbell Series Release

The Alfred Handbell Series features five distinctive levels of performance which coincide with The American Guild of English Handbell Ringers guidelines. Each piece is color-coded according to level and includes performance notes and biographical information of each composer. Psalm 150 exhorts Christians to praise the Lord with singing and instruments! The bright and jubilant sound of handbells fulfills that exhortation and offers people the opportunity to share their faith through music in worship.
