A Word rom the Pulisher During a time o year hen most people are celerating the irth o Christ, e oin a amily ho survived a house ire ut lost everything.

1 A Word rom the Pulisher During a time o year hen most people are celerating the irth o Christ, e oin a amily ho survived a house ire ut lost everything. Mike Sharon, along ith their teenage son, aco, each respond dierently to the tragedy. We see that, even though things look leak rom an earthly standpoint, God is still in control, and He uses even these diiculties to ring glory to Himsel. This program has eleven songs or choir. To o the songs have a emale solo ho can also e the same person ho plays Sharon in the program. It is ritten or our-part choir ith some optional parts here and there. With a simple cast o our actors, this program can e ne as a complete drama or in readers theater ormat. The program length is approximately 5 minutes. aith in God is not only our hope o salvation; it is our strength and poer every day o our lives. As the pastor in the play says, God holds our hands so that e have the strength to hold the hands o others. My prayer is that the aith o elievers ill e strengthened rom this program that shos that God is in control o everything. May your aith gro as you participate in this cantata!
