Alright, I've been meaning to do this for awhile, and although it's probably a little late for anyone working on a Ward Choir Christmas Program for this year, maybe it will give you ideas for next year. I've finally (after spending WAY too much time trying to get this to work . . .) figured out a way to attach these programs here, for anyone who wants to download free PDF versions of the 3 Ward Choir Christmas Programs I've put together over the past 6 years.
I think I mentioned before that I'm not a huge fan of the Christmas Cantatas you can buy--inevitably, I don't like some of the music, or feel the narration too contrived or whatever. I prefer choosing my own music from a variety of composers and then tying it together with scriptural references and words from our latter-day prophets. So I have put together 3 such programs, that hopefully will be useful to some ward choir director somewhere. I'm doing a new one for this year, and then I plan on recycling these 4 for awhile . . . unless I get a spark of inspiration next year, that is.
The narration in these programs is all scriptural, or taken from words of modern day prophets. The music, however, is not necessarily all from church approved sources, but was all approved by the various bishoprics I've served under. However, every bishop is different, so before you start rehearsing any music outside the hymn book or primary song book or other church approved materials get the lyrics approved.
Alright, enough prologue. Let's see if this works. You should be able to just click on one of the programs and it will take you to a site that will allow you to download and print the documents . . .

So, I don't know where my links went. Instead, you can click HERE and it will take you to my post where I just put the programs right in my blog.
