Christmas can easily get lost in the wrappings of the holiday season. This year, plan to put the focus where it belongs … on the Savior born in the manger who brings new life to people each and every day!

Prepare your hearts for Christmas with an amazing celebration of Christ's power in this special CCN event — live via satellite from Christ Tabernacle in New York City .

In the three years since the tragedy of September 11, a newfound faith has blossomed in urban New York . Jim Cymbala, the pastor of Brooklyn Tabernacle, has seen first-hand how Christ transforms lives of people in the city.

Now, you'll get the chance to hear about how these lives have been dramatically changed as Jim is joined by people in his church who will share what God is doing in their lives and their city.

The Dove Award nominated Christ Tabernacle Choir will also be part of the celebration, singing powerful praise songs along with some Christmas favorites.

Invite the entire congregation to this uplifting night of music, message and more as we celebrate the birth of Christ and the power He maintains today to help any and all overcome!
