I can’t get any of these links to work =(
We’ve fixed the error! Sorry about that, we didn’t have the file permissions set quite right.
Download away!
Thanks – a wonderful gift. Only wish the images were not so white.
An error message comes up when I try to click on the link to download.

Unable to open with iMovie on my MacBook. Any advice?
Make sure you’re using the MP4 version, not the WMV version. I’ve verified that both MP4s are importable into an iMovie project. If you still have problems, it’s possible the download somehow was corrupted – and you can download the file again.
Any chance of a video without the background music but with the full voice overs?
This is a wonderful resource. Thank you!
Such a wonderful gift to the church. Thank you!
What a blessing! We’re sharing this from Trinity Episcopal in Excelsior, MN. Merry Christmas!
Thanks for the great video–shared at St. Aidan’s Episcopal Church in Boulder, CO.
Thank you for sharing! St. Martins in the Fields, Summersville, WV will be sharing. What a wonderful gift, Merry Christmas!!
Many thanks from Trinity Episcopal Church in Iowa City, IA!!
Thank you very much. We have shared it at St Paul’s on the Hill in Winchester, Va. I too wish
the images were not so ‘white’
Download not working/available, 12/22 @ 9:34am – help?
Hi Mona,
I’d restart your computer and double check your connection. At the moment, the server is serving up the data without any problems. (9:37 AM, Tuesday the 22nd.)
Is the full audio of “What Child is This” available to us? I’d like to continue the song at the end with the slide I’ve added.
