6 The Sounds of Christmas Metro SDA 2016 Christmas Program Christmas is a time of JOY. BELLS ring to remind us to give [BELLS] to charities. We RUSH to buy Christmas gifts. We SHAKE [CASTANETS QUICK CLICK] [SHAKER] our presents under the tree and we celebrate with holiday PARTIES. But in all the hustle and bustle of activity, let s [SHAKER/HORN/DRUM] QUIET our hearts for a few minutes to remember that very (shhh) first Christmas long ago. In a QUIET village a humble girl named Mary WALKED (shhh) [CASTANETS] about, doing her normal activity when an ANGEL stopped her and said, Don t be afraid. I bring news of great JOY. You will give birth to a BABY boy. An ANGEL also appeared to Joseph in a dream. He told Joseph to name the BABY Jesus because he would save people from their sins. Joseph and Mary were filled with JOY as they prepared to give birth to the new BABY, God s own son in human form. 1

7 The Sounds of Christmas - Page Two Before Jesus was born, the Roman king made an ANNOUNCEMENT. Everyone had to go to their hometown to [HORN] be registered. Joseph and Mary TRAVELLED to the village [CLIP-CLOP] of Bethlehem. When they got there they KNOCKED on the [KNOCK] door of an inn, but it was full. They KNOCKED on the door [KNOCK] of many inns, but none of them had room for the couple who would soon give birth to a BABY. Finally one innkeeper agreed to let them stay in his stable where COWS and DONKEYS usually slept. Before long Mary [MOO MOO] [HEE HAW] gave birth to a beautiful BABY boy and laid him in a manger where COWS and DONKEYS usually fed on hay. [MOO MOO] [HEE HAW] At the same time SHEPHERDS were watching their SHEEP [BAA BAA] [BAA BAA] on a nearby hillside. Suddenly a bright light shone in the sky and an ANGEL appeared to him. Don t be afraid, he said. I bring you news of great JOY for all people. Today a BABY has been born in Bethlehem. You will find him lying in a manger. 2

8 The Sounds of Christmas - Page Three Suddenly a great company of ANGELS joined the other ANGEL. They praised God with a song of WORSHIP. When [SING] the ANGELS left them the SHEPHERDS said, Let s go to [BAA BAA] Bethlehem and see this BABY. They left their SHEEP and [BAA BAA] RUSHED away to find Jesus and his parents. When they [CASTANETS QUICK CLICK] found him their hearts were filled with JOY too. They WORSHIPED the BABY and praised God for his birth. [SING] Then they RUSHED away to tell everyone the good news as [CASTANETS QUICK CLICK] they ANNOUNCED the birth of the BABY Jesus. [HORN] God put his own birth ANNOUNCEMENT in the sky in the [HORN] form of a special star. Wise Men saw the star and TRAVELED to Bethlehem in search of the BABY who had [CLIP-CLOP] now grown to be a young child. Sometimes the sun shone and the BIRDS sang. Sometimes the WIND blew and the [WHISTLE] [WHISTLE] RAIN beat down, but the Wise men kept on TRAVELING. [SHAKER] [CLIP-CLOP] When they found Jesus they WORSHIPED him and gave him [SING] expensive presents of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. 3

9 The Sounds of Christmas - Page Four The BABY grew to be a man. He did miracles, taught about God, and died for our sins. This was the first Christmas and Christ was the best present ever given. Today the Christmas season is still a time of JOY. We RUSH around in preparation and celebrate with fun [CASTANETS QUICK CLICK] PARTIES. The occasional church BELL still rings. But amid all [SHAKER/HORN/DRUM] [BELLS] the hustle and bustle we need to find time to QUIET our (shhh) hearts and fix our minds on the Lord Jesus. We need to come to him with JOY in our hearts and a song of WORSHIP. [SING] 4
