Christmas: God's Family Story

An original musical drama written by Scott and Lois Peterson

"Christmas: God's Family Story" is an original children's musical drama written by Scott and Lois Peterson, that tells the story of Jesus' birth. The musical was designed as the basis for a week long Drama Camp, hosted by a congregation or community, including scripts, sheet music, director's guide, and sample music recordings.

Authors' Description of the Musical Story:
Baby Jesus, like each of us, was born into a family. But it was not so simple. Mary and Joseph were betrothed, but not yet married. None of Joseph’s family members had ever met Mary. What were the other family members thinking and wondering? As we know from our own families, things are always more complicated than our friends and neighbors can see. Christmas: God’s Family Story is an adventure story. And, don’t miss this: Because of what God has done for you and me, this is our family story too!

Introducing “Sola Musicals: Drama Camp Resources”

Sola Publishing offers a number of pre-packaged resources for leading a week-long Drama Camp, where children and youth learn and participate in producing a musical drama.  Hosting a Summer Drama Camp operates in a manner similar to a week of Vacation Bible School, held within a congregation or as a program for children and youth of the whole community. It can serve as a great evangelism tool to invite the participation of people from outside the church. Cast lists were originally designed for a camp of roughly 30-40 children, with many speaking and non-speaking roles. However, parts can be easily combined to accommodate a smaller group of children. The week can be structured using half-days or whole days, according to local preference.
