Illinois-based Evangelical Christian megachurch Willow Creek Community Church is hosting a Christmas event this Friday called the True Light of the World.
Attendees can expect to celebrate the Christmas season with other church members around a warm fireplace while enjoying a show about the Christmas story. The main goal of the celebration is for church members "to remember and celebrate the True Light of the World."
Willow Creek's Creative Director Blaine Hogan promises impressive special effects during the event. The special effects will be utilized to portray the Christmas story in a very entertaining fashion. Hogan aims to tell the amazing story behind Christmas.
"We always seek to create spectacular moments based on scripture," Blaine said. "In the Christmas story, we've got two visits from an angel, and a dream that Joseph experiences—that's some fun fodder to work with!"
Hogan commented on how God chooses simple folks to do His divine will. He further commented, "I'm reminded just how moving this story is: two young, super non-famous kids, chosen by God, to carry out one of the most important missions in history is a tall order. The fact that God chose a group of so very normal and ordinary people is a true testament to how much God wants us to see the unseen."
