Holy Ghost Stories Live - The Christmas Show (Bella Vista)

Experience immersive storytelling alongside the velvet strains of cello, violin, and viola. This is Christmas as you've never experienced it before.

With storytelling from Justin Gerhardt—creator of the acclaimed Bible storytelling podcast —and songs from a cadre of extraordinary musicians including MaryGrace Bender of the Nashville Chamber Music Society, this show will build a bridge between a poignant Old Testament narrative, the birth of the Christ child, and our thirst for peace.

Located in the heart of the Ozarks, the gorgeous Mildred Cooper Chapel will serve as backdrop to the evening’s lyrics and music. A collision of wood and glass designed by acclaimed Frank Lloyd Wright apprentice E. Fay Jones and nestled in a hilltop forest overlooking a lake, it's the perfect place for an encounter with the enchanted stories of Scripture.

This will be an elegant Yuletide gathering you won’t soon forget.

*All ages welcome // Doors @ 6:30pm

More About Mildred B. Cooper Chapel:

From The Society of Architectural Historians: "This building, designed after the more famous Thorncrown Chapel, contributed further to Jones’s national reputation as a designer with a refined sensitivity to chapel design and his extraordinary skill in relating building to site. Cooper Chapel stands on the brow of a wooded rounded ridge of the Ozark Mountains. The chapel, not visible from the landscaped entrance to the site, is approached by a paved footpath that curves among indigenous pines, oaks, and dogwoods, delaying for some distance a clear view of the building. Inside, the slender rectangular nave is divided by a central aisle with flanking pews and sheltered under a web of intersecting steel arches. The use of steel allowed Jones to create a more delicate covering, and light filters to the interior from a ridgeline skylight through the network of structural members."
