Bethany United Methodist Church Presents "Fear Not!" a Christmas Musical.

Amanda Furbeck
It's easy to be afraid. With our economy limping along, with our housing market in a coma, job losses, terrorists, priests being accused of terrible crimes, and desperate people doing desperate things just to get by, it is very easy to be afraid. This is a difficult time in the history of the United States. But no matter how bad the circumstances get, there is still a reason to hope. Fear Not! is a touching musical that will give you the gift of hope this Christmas season as it celebrates - and as we worship- Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
Fear Not! will be presented by Bethany United Methodist Church during the beginning of the Christmas Season in the month of December, 2010. Bethany's team of musicians, including choir and orchestra, tech team, actors, and set designers, have worked hard to put together a moving musical performance that celebrates the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. This family friendly setting will get you in the spirit of the the holidays with its enticingly arranged Christmas Carols, breath-taking imagery, and an unwavering message of Hope and God's Love for each and every one of us.

Fear Not!, written and arranged by Randy Vader and Jay Rouse, includes traditional Christmas Carols such as "O Come, O Come, Emmanuel", "Angels We Have Heard on High," and "O Holy Night." It also incorporates contemporary worship songs such as "The Heart of Worship" and "I Give You My Heart." Woven throughout are beautiful, original arrangements such as "Do Not Be Afraid" by Randy Vader and Jay Rouse.

Bethany United Methodist Church, located on Brookside Road in Wescosville, Pa, is offering three free performances of Fear Not! These performances will take place at 7:00 PM on December third and fourth, and at 2:00 PM on December fifth. There is free parking available in the church lot, with specially designated parking spots for visitors. If the parking lot is full, a free shuttle will pick up and drop off anyone parking at Wescosville Elementary School, just two blocks from the church off of Liberty Lane. Please note, while the performances are completely free, there a free-will offering will be received for anyone wishing to help offset the costs of the musical.
