A Captivating Performance of “Salt and Light”

We love to hear about new, fresh and creative ways to welcome people to experience the gospel of Christ.

On Sunday afternoon the 6th October, audiences were truly blessed in St Andrew’s, Langar (one of the 6 beautiful medieval churches in the Parish of Wiverton in the Vale)  with a wonderful performance from LAMPs Collective of their production called Salt and Light.

The story was set in Lake Galilee in AD 30 in the little fishing community of Capernaum where rumours of miracles and healings abounded. Five members of one family were struggling to make sense of the radical new teacher walking their shores – who was he, what was he and what might it mean for them and the rest of their lives? The questions of the first disciples were shared through catchy shanties, beautiful storytelling and inspirational spoken word. It was full of humour, humanity and kindness and a dawning realisation of who Jesus really was.

The packed church of folks from our parish, across the East Bingham Deanery and beyond were spellbound by the performance and excitedly and enthusiastically shared their thoughts over a glass of wine and tasty refreshments after the show.

The feedback from audience has also been incredibly positive with one attendee remarking, “I so loved the dawning realisation of the disciples and their family of who Jesus was… I think I was either laughing or crying through the whole show, thank you so much.” 

Events like this provide a unique opportunity to reach out to the wider community, inviting people to experience the church in an engaging and enjoyable way. Please join us in praying for all involved in this incredible production, and for fresh inspiration in our parishes as we seek more creative ways to invite people to experience life in Jesus.
