Newsline      Special  Report

Dec. 15, 2004

Videos of the Church of the Brethren  Christmas Eve service will be
shipped for use Dec. 24.

Early  availability has made it possible for Brethren Press to offer
videos of the  Church of the Brethren Christmas Eve service for use
by congregations on  Christmas Eve. Priority will be given to
congregations that will use the  recording in their worship
services.

The Church of the Brethren is  providing the Christmas Eve service
for national telecast on CBS. The program  is scheduled to air
nationally at 11:35 p.m. Eastern Standard Time Dec. 24,  with
airtime varying in parts of the country. Call your local  CBS
affiliate to check on airtime and availability of the program.

The  video is available in both VHS and DVD formats and will include
the service  and a behind-the-scenes documentary of the making of
the program by Brethren  videographer David Sollenberger. The video
is closed-captioned for the  hearing-impaired. A Spanish-language
dubbed version is available on	request.

The DVD (Brethren Press item #1122) costs $14.95 and the  VHS
(Brethren Press item #1123) costs $19.95 plus shipping and
handling.  To ensure arrival in time for use on Christmas Eve, rush
shipping may be  charged especially for destinations far from the
shipping sources in Illinois  and Pennsylvania. Orders will be
shipped as early as Dec. 20. Call Brethren  Press at 800-441-3712 or
