Dinner Theater

BMPCNC will present a Christmas dinner theater on Sunday evening December 13 at 5PM or 7PM in the fellowship hall of the church. A cast including youth and adults will present John Carter's "In Bethlehem Inn," a you-are-there telling of the Christmas story. Persons attending the show are guests at the inn in Bethlehem on the night of Jesus birth. During a shared meal we learn of a young couple looking for shelter, here from local shepherds who have heard amazing things, and finally venture outside to a living nativity scene, to see for ourselves the wonderful thing that has come to pass.

The dinner-theater is free, but donations for the cost of the meal are much-needed. Reservations are required. Be prepared to specify which seating you prefer, 5PM or 7PM, and how many persons will be in your party (we will be seated at table groupings of 8). While we are taking reservations, seating is by general admission.

Thanks to everyone who is taking part in presenting this production, especially the actors and food preparation crew. Please have a good thought for them all as we venture into a new and exciting ministry event.

Contact the church office by phone or email to make reservations.

Colleagues of mine and members of a couple of my former employers will recognize this event. I became enchanted with this drama and the whole production while at Bon Air UMC in Richmond and mounted the production three years there, and three more times at Crestwood PC(USA). Everyone here is very excited and full of ideas. I've told them that this is a show that grows over the years. This time fairly low-key. Camels and palanquins next year!
