“The Messiah comes to me”
If the Messiah were to come to me and to our neighborhood today…
The Messiah came to Bethlehem two thousand years ago to be a friend to all people and nations. The good news of Christ’s coming to be with us shines as the brightest light in the darkness.
Let’s share this good news with our precious friends, neighbors, and family!
가장 낮은 곳 소외된 곳으로 오신 예수님은
오늘날 우리에게도 그곳으로 내가 오겠다고 말씀하십니다.
믿을 수 없는 사랑의 섬김이 이 땅을 향해 흐릅니다.
시간의 아주 오래 전 부터 오늘 그리고 먼 훗날까지 우리와 함께 계시며 임마누엘 하시는 하나님을 찬양합시다.
이제 우리가 그 섬김의 마음을 깨달아 온땅에 전하러 나갑시다.
오늘도 작지만 힘있는 그 빛이 세상에 널리 전해지도록!
In particular, remembering the love of Jesus who came to the lowest place, we prepared this musical for the refugees who are sad and in pain. We will stand with them through the faith of Emmanuel.
To help children embrace the Christmas story in the Bible, to help them complete a musical by training and cooperating with friends, we went through a seven-month journey of practicing. Through choir rehearsals, solo vocal coaching, acting classes, dance classes, staff workshops and meetings, and more than 10 hours of training each week, they completed a musical in the format of both existing and original works.
A total of 5 lead roles, 16 supporting roles, and 22 professional staff members were mobilized. With the passion of the children and the collaboration of the adults, PG KIDS presents its second Christmas musical, "The Messiah Comes to Me”
Join us on this exciting journey into the enthusiasm of PG KIDS Christmas musical production.

Praise Ground
Praise Ground Kids, which is part of the Praise Ground team under the Domestic Mission Department of Pilgrim Mission Church, is a mission team where children and young parents from this region gather as performers and staff for a mission musical.
Based on Psalm 68:3-4, which says, "But may the righteous be glad and rejoice before God; may they be happy and joyful. Sing to God, sing in praise of His name," Praise Ground Kids envisions a place where God’s children, as the righteous, can run and jump, rejoicing and praising together with adults. This is the dream of a playground where anyone who is a child of God can rejoice and praise.
Praise Ground has three missions:
Content Ministry
Praise Ground Choir
Praise Ground Kids
Praise Ground Kids has now created its second musical performance. Starting with the first performance in December 2023 at Pilgrim Mission Church, which ended successfully, this performance is now being created with the intention of bringing the gospel of life to our local community. Specifically, it will be held at the Hackensack Performing Arts Center in the Hackensack area where our church is located, reaching out to our neighbors in the form of Jesus, who went out to meet them. Additionally, we are supporting GUM, a mission that shares the gospel with refugees, and we aim to create a Christmas not just for ourselves, but for all of us to create together, producing happy noise.
Through our talents and efforts,
leaving the applause for ourselves behind,
meet the angels who go out to serve the world!

Musical Number Lyrics
#1 Bethlehem Song
Words & Music by Janet Mcmahan-Wilson & Mark Cabaniss
Once upon a time far far away Baby Jesus Born to us in the town of Bethlehem. Now listen as the story unfold joyful tale of miracle The tale of Christmas night for you and me. Once upon a time far far away The night we saw the star so bright Now listen as the story unfold joyful tale of miracle The tale of Christmas night for you and me.
#2 Who Could It Be Song
Words & Music by Tom & Robin Brooks
Who could it be? The one and only Savior And who will be our King Would he have big belly or would he be so smiley Oh we can’t just wait to see
Oh, who could it be? Who loves kids dearly Who’s friends with every kid A friend to poor and needy A friend to who are lonely Helping all friends in need
약할때 능력을 두려울때 평안을 아플때 고쳐주시고
또 슬플때 위로와 새 소망을 주시는 그런분이면 얼마나 좋을까
하늘에 계시는 여호와 주여 두손을 모아서 기도합니다
메시아를 정말 보내신다면 우리에게 그런 메시아를 보내주세요
#3 Mary’s Song (Luke 1:38)
Words & Music by 엄민용
#4 It Doesn`t Make Sense
Words & Music by Peter & Hanneke jacobs
Makes no sense to me Does not sound right to me Makes no sense to me We hope it could be true (x2) Well take a good look around It’s only Bethlehem It’s not Jerusalem where everything is tall and high No fancy throne to sit No army to lead Only a few of shepherd boys and this stable not so neat All those are poor All those alone and all those who are sick and tired We’ve waited so long If He loves his people so dearly Wouldn’t care if we have got nothing to give
언니 말도 안되요 꿈이 너무 크네요
꿈보다 해몽이 좋다는 그 애기가 맞네요
그분은 메시아 우릴 구원하실 왕
이 곳은 작고 초라한 마굿간
메시아가 이곳에 오신다는 말 기분은 너무 좋지만 믿을 수 없는 말
오 얘들아 내 얘길 들어봐 모든 이를 사랑하는 분 메시아!
우리를 너무나도 아껴주실 분 메시아!
그러니 메시아께서 이곳에 오실수도 있다구
We hope it could be true 그럴수도 있을거야
#5 Don`t be afraid (Luke 2:10-11)
Words & Music by John Lee
#6 Twinkle Melody (Angel`s song)
Arr. by Ernie & Debby Kerner Rettino
#7 O come, All Ye Faithful Medley
Arr. by Ernie & Debby Kerner Rettino
O come, all ye faithful, joyful, and triumphant,
O come ye, O come ye to Bethlehem; Come and behold Him, born the King of angels,
O come let us adore Him, O come let us adore Him, O come let us adore Him, Christ the Lord.
Sing, choirs of angels, sing in exultation, O sing, all ye citizens of Heav’n above;
Glory to God, glory in the highest, O come let us adore Him, O come let us adore Him,
O come let us adore Him, Christ the Lord. Away in a manger no crib for a bed,
The little Lord Jesus laid down His sweet head; The stars in the sky looked down where He lay,
The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay. He’s sleeping, shhh! He’s sleeping, shhh!
The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay. Angels we have heard on high sweetly singing o’er the plains; And the mountains in reply,
echoing their joyous strains. Gloria in excelsis Deo! Gloria in excelsis Deo! Come to Bethlehem, and see Him whose birth the angels sing; Come adore on bended knee, Christ the Lord the newborn King. Gloria in excelsis Deo! Gloria in excelsis Deo!
#8 Joy to the World
Arr. by Ernie & Debby Kerner Rettino
Joy to the world! The Lord is come: Let earth receive her King;
Let ev’ry heart prepare Him room,
And heav’n and nature sing, and heav’n and nature sing,
And heav’n and heav’n and nature sing.
He rules the world with truth and grace, and makes the nations prove
The glories of His righteousness,
And wonders of His love, and wonders of His love,
And wonders, wonders of His love, love, love, love.
Joy to the world, the Savior reigns: Let men their songs employ;
While fields and floods, rocks, hills, and plains
Repeat the sounding joy, repeat the sounding joy,
Repeat, repeat the sounding joy.
#9 Go tell it on the mountain
Arr. by Ernie & Debby Kerner Rettino
I have got a message to share along the way;
Let me tell you that Jesus Christ our Savior, was born on Christmas day.
Go tell it on the mountain, over the hills and everywhere.
Go tell it on the mountain that Jesus Christ is born!
Jesus came for sinners, yeah, to set the captives free;
The Baby born in Bethlehem has paid the price for me.
#10 Lean on me
Words & Music by Bill Withers
Lean on me When you're not strong And I'll be your friend I'll help you carry on.. For it won't be long Till I'm gonna need somebody to lean on
