The Living Christmas Tree – The Living Christmas Tree (1972)
“What weighs 40 thousand pounds, has three hundred legs, comes to a point at the top and sings??? There’s only one answer to that question, and that is ‘THE LIVING CHRISTMAS TREE’ at the First Baptist Church of Van Nuys, California.
“The C.C. Company, a choir of 150 college and career young adults, begin their rehearsals in September to prepare themselves for a series of performances during the Christmas holiday season. Before the lights of the tree are turned off for the last time, over 20,000 people will have heard their songs of celebration and the witness of their faith in Jesus Christ.” (liner notes)
