About GCN
Glorious Christmas Nights is an annual, musical extravaganza of music, dance, comedy, drama, and celebration. Each year, the cast, crew, musicians, choir, painters, technicians, and support volunteers of WEAG open the doors for 18 performances over two weeks. We seek to give praise and honor to God as we creatively retell the essence of Christmas expressed in the love and grace of Jesus Christ.
“We are excited to continue the tradition of GCN on a new stage with an outdoor, immersive experience.”
Bob Laughlin, Producer & Pastor of Performing Arts
Christmas 2020
COVID-19. The global pandemic that started just weeks after last year’s GCN has caused so much loss. Lives, jobs, even hope have fallen victim to the ravages of the virus.
But, all hope is not lost and neither is Glorious Christmas Nights. We will celebrate the miracle of Jesus’ birth as God expressed His love for His creation in a way we could have never imagined and will never truly understand.
Join us again, even if differently from years past and with safety precautions in place, as we reclaim the hope and joy that God continues to share with us and is more powerful than COVID.

Will it go on if it rains?
Fortunately, Pat, the weather forecast through Sunday the 13th is looking good! No precip expected through the run of shows… yay!
Will Glorious Bethlehem Nights be wheelchair accessible?
It may be challenging to navigate the bumpy field/gravel by wheelchair. We recommend wheelchair users have someone who is capable of pushing to assist. Fortunately, there is no rain forecasted before nor during the show run, so at least the ground shouldn’t be soggy and soft.
Is there a way to purchase previous years GCNs? I was in a few of them when I was a kid/teen and want to share them with my kids now
Hi Jessica,
Please email Bob Laughlin at blaughlin@weag.org and he can inform you what shows are available for purchase.

I am unable to find my tickets. They are 2 for 11 December at 7pm. Please resend them. Thanks! Tim Gilbert. tim_gilbert@hotmail.com
Hi Tim,
You don’t need to show tickets to get in.
Simply state your name at the check-in tents.
They have the lists of RSVPs.

Since there has been an increase in Covid numbers, how many attendees will be allowed per show?
Hi Karen,
We’re allowing 400 reservations per show though there is room on the field for many more than that. There are typically a number of no-shows. As seating is not provided, you are able to move to a viewing area that is more distant from others if you prefer.

Are there any copies of past GCN performances for sale or is there any thought to broadcast one for those of us missing our Christmas tradition?
Hi Maureen,
We are considering that for Christmas Eve and/or Christmas.
Stay tuned to weag.church and weag.online for any announcement that may be forthcoming.
