Stories and Songs for Christmas (ESV)

This compilation of Scripture passages and songs provides an overview of the story of Jesus’ birth. The Scripture passages are all verbatim Scripture, pulled from the Gospel accounts and melded together to create a cohesive flow.

The passages have been divided into sections with various readers delineated for each section. These divisions could be combined or divided further to accommodate various cast sizes.

Song suggestions have been interspersed throughout the Scripture passages to aid in telling the story. Specific verse recommendations are given, though more verses of song could be added or removed to make this program either shorter or longer. These stories and songs could be used as a program or part of a collective worship time.

All Scripture passages come from the English Standard Version.
