The gospel according to Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Paul, George, and Ringo

We are using Granger's phenomenal December series: "Let it Be Christmas" this year. I am PUMPED about the music. Christmas music is always fun, but add in tons of great Beatles hits to that and an eager and talented team of volunteers, and watch out--it's going to be cool.

Here are some faves, you might look forward to. Also, I would HIGHLY recommend many of the Christmas albums these carol arrangements are from...

Feliz Navidad--David Crowder Band
Can't Buy Me Love--The Beatles
Rise--Robbie Seay Band

Hark the Herald Angels Sing--Rebecca St. James
Because--The Beatles (Across the Universe Soundtrack)
Nothing's Gonna Change My World (Across the Universe Soundtrack)
Eleanor Rigby--The Beatles
Sweet Little Jesus Boy--Casting Crowns

Joy to the World--Casting Crowns
O Come All Ye Faithful--Starfield
You Say You Wanna Revolution--The Beatles
Bethlehem Calls--NewSong

I am the Walrus--The Beatles (Jim Carrey version)
Yesterday--The Beatles

Christmas Eve/Sarajevo 12/24 Transiberian Orchestra
Don't Let Me Down--The Beatles (Across the Universe Version)
Blackbird--The Beatles
In the Bleak Midwinter
Hey Jude--The Beatles
Help!--The Beatles
Beautiful Boy--John Lennon w/ Away in A Manger
O Holy Night
Come Together/Joy to the World
Let it Be--The Beatles (Across the Universe Version)
Silent Night--Casting Crowns

Let it Be Christmas

We will feature this Transiberian Orchestra version of Carol of the Bells this Christmas. We are hoping to purchase this background video to rock out with.
