JourneyChurch.tv?s Christmas Spectacular was a hybrid between a church service and a Christmas variety show. So they tried to keep a mixture of fun elements but also allow time for folks to engage in worship. This meant a shorter message, some unique varieties of music, and some narrative videos to help bring people through an experiential arc.
Check out the service run-sheet below. The musical elements are bolded.
