  • LAMPS The Passion

    So, this is coming to a church in Railway Town...
     
    Book early to avoid disappointment (I mean, you might get to see me do my cabin crew impression before it starts...)
     
    What is The Passion? - Performed by a cast of three talented professional actors, the life, death and resurrection of Jesus are recreated in a moving, memorable and ultimately
    joyful retelling of the Easter events.
     
    Told from the perspectives of Peter, Mary Magdalene and a Roman centurion named Marcus, The Passion leads us up to and through the events of Holy Week, the cross and beyond.
     
    As with all LAMPS performances, it has been written with everyone in mind, not just people who go to church. It is also suitable for secondary school students.
     
    Who are LAMPS? - We are a collective of Christian artists who create, produce and perform theatre, music and comedy events and creative resources for the church.
     
    Refreshments – will be served at the end of the performance.

  • A Hymn of Tamar, Rahab, Ruth, Bathsheba and Mary...

    I'm using this hymn today.  I don't know it, but it fits to the fairly well known tune Quem Pastores, and fits the theme of Jesus' Mother Roots...

    Child of Abraham the wand'rer
    leaving wealth enough to squander,
    on God's promised hope to ponder -
    Abram's child, hope for us all.

    Child of Tamar stripped of honour,
    bruised, abused for others' pleasure;
    yet to God a priceless treasure -
    Tamar's child, hurt for us all.

    Child of Ruth, Naomi's shadow,
    faithful friend to friendless widow,
    destitute in harvest meadow -
    Ruth's true child, befriend us all.

    Child of Rahab, trait'rous harlot,
    rescued by a cloth stained scarlet,
    sharing God's invasion secret -
    Rahab's child, come save us all.

    Child of David's bride, Bathsheba,
    victim of a lust most eager;
    sign that God forgives for ever -
    Sheba's child, forgive us all.

    Child of Mary, virgin mother,
    bearing for us God, our brother,
    so we'd learn to love each other -
    Mary's child - God with us all.
