♪ Come, come, come ♪

- [Narrator] Annie Dupreis a violinist and vocalist

whose love for makingmusic with her siblings

led her, alongside with her family,

to found the Annie Moses Band.

Known for their eclectic sound,

these extraordinarymusicians have performed

on stages around the world.

This Christmas, you canenjoy the Annie Moses Band

perform stunning arrangementsof holiday carols

when you download the CBN Family app.

- Well, Annie joins us now via Skype.

Annie, welcome back to "The 700 Club."

- Hello, Terry. It's greatto be with you today.

- I understand that yourfamily is back touring again.

How does it feel to be back

in front of a live, sociallydistanced, of course, audience?

- Well, it is wonderful tobe back out on the road.

Obviously, every musicianloves the chance to perform,

because what we desire to do

is bring joy to people in music.

And of course, the Christmas season

is maybe the best time of year to do that,

and so, we love that opportunity.

We haven't been ableto do near as extensive

as a tour that we normally do, but still,

audiences have reallybeen craving live music,

and so we find thateveryone is really ready

to get into the spirit of the season.

- Right, especially atthis time of the year,

I think people are hungryfor the celebration

that music brings.

Well, tell us about yourbrand-new DVD series,

"The Wonderful World of Benjamin Cello."

- Yes, so the Annie MosesBand has long had a mission

in the realm of creatinggodly works of excellence

in the realm of the arts, and of course,

the music of the Annie Moses Band

was the very first foray for us.

We felt that God had a call on our family

in the realm of music.

But as our families grew, wehave a lot of children now,

we have 15 grandchildrenwho are nine and under,

so that it's a very growing family,

and we found that the mostimpacting media in our world

was the media that wewatch on our devices.

You know, almost everybody listening,

or even those who are gonna watch

the Annie Moses Christmasspecial on the CBN app, right?

They're watching it on the device.

And we said, "If we're goingto capture the imagination

of the next generation, weneed to speak into that world."

And so, my brother Benjamin stars

in "The Wonderful Worldof Benjamin Cello,"

and it's something akin to Mr. Rogers

and Mary Poppins allkind of thrown together

in one magical, imaginative world

filled with faith andthe truths of scripture.

- Well, your family seems so, so together,

not just in your performing,but also in your vision

and the call upon your lives.

We're gonna hear your family perform

in just a few moments, but first, tell us

about Christmas was likegrowing up in your household.

- Oh, it was a very sacred time.

I grew up with the ideaof family being together,

the idea of Jesus as the Bread of Life,

and that there was kind of a depth

to the communion of Christmas,

of the family being gathered.

We grew up with advent and the idea

of kind of looking towardthe coming of Jesus.

And now, when we have thechance to perform on tour,

of course, those traditionstake a different form

than they did when I was a child,

but even now, when we are able to perform

the music of Annie MosesBand and these songs

that are really part ofthe canon of our faith,

you are touchingsomething that's very deep

within the church.

And my brother, Alex, he talks a lot

about this scripture in Matthew

where Jesus says thatHe's bringing something

new out of the storehouse,which is an unusual concept,

because you typically thinkof the things you store

in the storehouse as being old things.

And yet, part of whatwe do every Christmas

is bringing something newout of the storehouse.

And when you hear, hopefully, the music

of the Annie Moses Bandand the "O Holy Night"

Christmas special,folks will be connecting

to this ancient path, this ancient idea

that God came to earth,and His name is Jesus,

and we can know Him.

- Beautifully put, Annie.

We wanna thank you for being here today.

We want the rest of you to know

you can catch the Annie MosesBand's Christmas special

right on the CBN Familyapp that she mentioned.
