CHILDREN'S CHRISTMAS PROGRAMS/DRAMAS
RW would like to review some new children's Christmas programs. We're especially interested in those that were integrated into a worship service (rather than used as a separate program). Have you developed any? Or do you know of someone who did? Please send information about the program (including a script, if possible) to us at Reformed Worship, 2850 Kalamazoo, Grand Rapids, MI 49560, or communicate on Internet to brinke@crcna.org. Thanks!
