New Hope Baptist Church will present its 2008 Living Christmas Tree entitled “The Promise,” Wednesday through Sunday, Dec 10-14, at 7 p.m. nightly, with matinees at 3 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday.

This year’s production includes more than 400 adults, youth and children taking part in the choirs, orchestra and cast, as well as a 40 foot “singing” Christmas tree with thousands of computerized lights.

The all new original story tells of a family as they attend their town’s Christmas Tree Lighting and Celebration. Upon their return home, the grandpa tells the children the story of the manger and the Christ Child, as it comes to life in music and drama. The final song includes a Christmas Parade with special effects.

The tickets are free and are available online at www.newhopebc.org, by calling 770-460-4838 or from the church office North Campus at 551 New Hope Rd. or South Campus on Ga. Hwy 74. Tickets also are available after Sunday services at 9:15 a.m. (South ) or 10:55 a.m. (North).
