EVENTS:
Riding Lights Theatre Company presents
REDEMPTION SONG, Tuesday 4th March, 7:30pm.
A moving combination of powerful theatre, meditation, prayer and corporate worship. The play starts and ends at the cross - that savage, unlooked for place which more than any other reveals the true identity of Jesus Christ. Full of vividly drawn characters from the gospels, no one walks away untouched by an encounter with the one life which constantly provokes the question:
'Who do you say that I am?'
A powerful act of remembrance, both participatory and reflective, with moments of great joy and conflict, asking us to review our understanding of our own faith in the bright light of Christ.
Tickets £7 and £3 (children and students)
available from the Abbey Bookshop
