The music from this program has been captivating the hearts and ears of listeners for over 20 years as a studio recording and annual Christmas tour by singer-songwriter/author Andrew Peterson (Is He Worthy?). This timeless music has never been available as a full Christmas musical for the local church, until now. Peterson's magnum opus about Jesus' birth will be presented by South Church's choir and orchestra on December 7 & 8 at 6 PM. No tickets necessary. Pick up invitation cards at the display in the Gathering area to invite friends and neighbors. Witness the full story of the Messiah's birth as we worship and sing together, Behold the Lamb of God.
