were 'disturbing the peace?’
The Fumbly Bumbly Angels
(BK 5AX 171)
Four fumbly, bumbly angels set their sights
on singing in the glorious Heavenly Choir. Instead, they find themselves

Christmas pageant: every line, song and sound effect is pre-recorded and
the actors simply follow along.

Programs and Practices for Youth (BK 5AX
170)
This resource has two main sections: programs and
practices. Each program has a practice of faith to go with it. Programs
provide an opportunity to learn primarily by listening, discussion, study,
and the practices provide an opportunity to learn by creative expression
and personal experience. Programs include A Look at Isaiah, John the
Baptist, Joseph, Jesus at Birth, the Magi, Herod, and A Look at Ourselves.
A disk included with the book contains masters for handouts, newsletters,
and publicity.
