The communications ministry at our church always does a great job, but I think they’ve outdone themselves with this one:

And just FYI: the video was inspired by this one - also very clever.

Excellent! I was spell-bound! It was not only captivating….it is so relevant!
I have sent it to my Pastor(s)….they shouldn’t miss this!

I loved it – what a clever way to bring out the true meaning of Christmas!

That was really good!

Fun! Relevant! Cool! I think they got it right, and now thanks to Youtube, this one will spread!

Wow. I giggled and then when everything but what was really important disappeared, I teared up. Really. Please tell them thank you for a job well done (using their God given talent for His Glory!)

I just saw my blog in your blogroll. I am overwhelmed with gratitude! What an honor. I feel like I have been in the Macy’s parade. Really, thanks!!

That is the cutest video!

Loved it! So today. I laughed out loud when the Starbucks logo appeared, because there is a drive-through Starbucks right near our church, so there are often people (including us) carrying their cups around church…..it was a logical sponsor (just kidding.)

That was too good! I’m so glad that there are people who still “get it”
BTW, two years ago, I bought the CD’s with James Earle Jones reading the Christmas story from the Bible. It was great until my then-five year old son cries out ” MOmmy, Mommy!, Darth Vader’s preaching!

That was WAY cool. Your church did an outstanding job. I’m clicking on “share this video” big time!

ROFL! As one who works in advertising and marketing it was too true!
And as always the simple message is the strongest.
Christ.
Thanks for sharing this…wonderful!

Wow!
I will send that to Ben and he and his whole communications staff will Ooh and Aah over it.
(and by “whole communications staff” I mean he will sit all alone in his office and be mightily impressed!) :D

Too cute :) Great job they did! xoxo melzie

This was fabulous! The point was well made. Super job!

The William Shatner part made me laugh out loud.
December 12th, 2006 at 11:23 am
I laughed so hard — pretty impressive considering I have sinus infection and laryngitis!
Seriously – perfect example of doing everything for God’s glory.
December 12th, 2006 at 3:19 pm
yes, it is culturally relevant indeed….we all need to be reminded!!!GReat job!!!
December 12th, 2006 at 11:14 pm
I loved it! My husband is the communications pastor and he would absolutely love it! I am going to forward it to him!
December 13th, 2006 at 3:46 pm
This was so cool! So funny and then so poignant.
And your pastor was kind enough to allow our church leadership to show it during our Christmas Eve service! So we’ll be sharing it with a bunch of people.
Thanks the link, BM!
