“Let it Be Christmas” will be offered as part of The Fountains regular Sunday morning celebration at 9:30 a.m. and as a free-standing musical at 5 p.m.
“You don’t need a ‘Ticket to Ride’ this ‘Magical Mystery’ fusion. It’s free (although the ‘Tax Man’ will be receiving a love offering,’” the release said.
Originally written and produced by Granger Community Church in Indiana, this musical was adapted by the Epic Theatre Company in Illinois and has since been performed across the Midwest.
Mark calendars for Sunday, Dec. 17 for this Christmas celebration at The Fountains, 15300 N. Fountain Hills Blvd.
