Christmas is a beautiful story, familiar and loved. But Christmas is only the beginning – the start of a journey that leads all the way to Easter and beyond. This service takes people on that journey, as seen through the eyes of the Gospel writer Luke, using drama, Bible readings and songs which are contained on the accompanying tracks. Appropriate for use at any time from Christmas to Easter, it is an occasion for praise, worship and outreach, telling the familiar story of Christmas and the not-so-familiar story of 'what happened next'. Contents As Mary heard the angelMy soul will praise the LordThe cry of a babyThe shadow of a crossFrom the stable to the crossWe'll sing the Gospel story
