Christmas 2003: Word on the Street
December 24, 2003 (Weekend Service)
Word on the Street" is a Willow Creek original Christmas musical. It asks the question "What if Joseph and Mary lived in a modern-day urban setting?" This Christmas production takes people on a journey with Joseph and Mary, from their courtship, their fear and doubt, to their acceptance and anticipation of what was to be. "Word on the Street" gives people something to think about as they learn that God works in extraordinary ways using ordinary people.
