Away in the Basement: A Church Basement Ladies Christmas
And out of the Basement shall come a Christmas Program of good tidings, great humor, and joy! It's 1959 and the day of the Sunday School Christmas program. The children rehearse as the ladies finish making goodie bags and put final touches on the Nativity pieces. Little do they know what surprises are in store for them as they are called upon to save the day.
