Special Report

Videos of the Church of the Brethren Christmas Eve service will be shipped for use Dec. 24.

Early availability has made it possible for Brethren Press to offer videos of the Church of the Brethren Christmas Eve service for use by congregations on Christmas Eve. Priority will be given to congregations that will use the recording in their worship services.

The Church of the Brethren is providing the Christmas Eve service for national telecast on CBS. The program is scheduled to air nationally at 11:35 p.m. Eastern Standard Time Dec. 24, with airtime varying in parts of the country. Call your local CBS affiliate to check on airtime and availability of the program.

The video is available in both VHS and DVD formats and will include the service and a behind-the-scenes documentary of the making of the program by Brethren videographer David Sollenberger. The video is closed-captioned for the hearing-impaired. A Spanish-language dubbed version is available on request.

The DVD (Brethren Press item #1122) costs $14.95 and the VHS (Brethren Press item #1123) costs $19.95 plus shipping and handling. To ensure arrival in time for use on Christmas Eve, rush shipping may be charged especially for destinations far from the shipping sources in Illinois and Pennsylvania. Orders will be shipped as early as Dec. 20. Call Brethren Press at 800-441-3712 or e-mail brethrenpress_gb@brethren.org.
