Christmas Broadcast

The Seventh-day Adventist Church in North America is releasing its fifth Christmas program entitled "Love's Pure Light." This hour-long program will be broadcast during the month of December on many local affiliate stations in the U.S., Canada, and Bermuda, as well as nationwide on TBN and the Hallmark Channel.

The story takes place on Christmas Eve when a widower’s life is changed by an unopened gift his wife gave him five years ago. Joseph Campanella, Ruta Lee and Patty Cabrera star in this musical drama, which the whole family will enjoy. Special musical guests are four-time Grammy winner Deniece Williams, Rudi Miceli and Sandy Wyman Johnson.

“Love’s Pure Light” is the sequel to “All is Bright,” which was last year’s Christmas special produced by the Seventh-day Adventist Church in North America. The production was recorded on a closed set at the Adventist Media Center in Simi Valley, Calif., on Sept. 12 and 14.

Check your local listings to find out when “Love’s Pure Light” is scheduled to air or visit www.nadadventist.org. You can also call your local television station and ask them to air “Love's Pure Light.” If the station's program manager has not heard of it, he/she should call the AMS Agency at (805) 955-7680 and speak with Chauncey Smith.
