It continued with a production called ‘Cosmic Christmas’, performed by the Sunday School and other church members. This used video clips and song as well as narration and action to tell the story of Christmas from the heavenly perspective as well as from the earthly perspective, looking at Revelation 12:1-11 as well as at more familiar gospel passages. It started with the war in heaven between the archangel Michael and his heavenly hosts and the dragon, another name for Satan, and showed how Satan has always tried to thwart God’s plans.
