FARMINGTON — A special presentation of “Christmas on the Air” will be featured at New Hope Baptist Church, 268 Perham St. at 10 a.m. Sunday, Dec. 17, and at 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday, Dec. 22 and 23.

This musical drama gives insight into Christmas through the eyes of a child as it tells a captivating story of a live radio broadcast from Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. The actors portray the nativity scene in an unusual way, while experiencing a modern-day lesson in giving and receiving.

The story is being performed by the teen/adult and junior choirs. Attendees will enjoy listening to the 23-voice teen/adult choir sing original, beautifully arranged Christmas songs as well as fresh arrangements of traditional carols. The 13-voice junior choir will perform two choruses and features two children’s solos, adding a special touch to the seasonal performance.

This event is for the entire family and admission is free.
