Chantry and Newminster choir performed the Christmas musical ‘Miracle Child’ to a packed church full of parents, carers, governors, staff and friends of the schools at St James Church on Wednesday 20th December.

The story …

There were two ‘miracle children’ in the heart-warming Christmas musical ‘Miracle Child’​: one was obviously the baby born at Bethlehem, but the other is materialistic Rikki​, who is transformed as s​he learns the importance of giving.

What does the Christmas story mean to self-centred Rikki​, 2000+ years after the miracle of Jesus’ birth? ‘Miracle Child’ begins with a family party on Christmas Eve, and Rikki​ expecting loads of presents – but having forgotten to find something to give her parents.

She attempts to sort out the problem in time for Christmas Day…​

A poignant, ​entertaining and modern take on the Christmas story.​

​Simon Taylor​, CEO of The Three Rivers Learning Trust said “Last night’s concert was superb! Well done to everyone involved with the production.”
