What do 200 years of history and musical television show Glee have in common? Both will feature in Living Well Church's Christmas production this Sunday.
Hope Christmas is a 90-minute show for people of all ages and denominations and celebrates all that is Christmas.
Music co-ordinator Liz Fowler said the
production had been a feature on the church's calendar for the past 10 years. It changes each year but always has the same over-riding theme of "what Christmas is about".
"This year we're tying it into the fact it is 200 years since the gospel came to New Zealand," Mrs Fowler said.
"We've modelled it on that. We've got items by members of the church, including the adult choir performing a Glee number - God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen. There are six soloists and they have been practising so hard to pull it off." There is also a children's choir and 4-year-old Mackenzie Pitman-Brewer will perform Te Harinui.
