South Church presents
the dramatic musical, Pilgrim. This allegorical presentation is based on the book by John Bunyan, entitled “The Pilgrim’s Progress.
“Christian’s life is not fulfilling. In fact, after realizing his dissatisfaction with life and a run-in with someone who offers him hope, he develops a burden that leads him to begin a journey from his home in search of something more.
Guided by a king who cares for him, Christian meets many characters along the way – a wise old interpreter, a hopeful friend, and a girl from his own village. He is distracted from his journey by many misguided people, is trapped by a giant, and must fight the prince of his village for his very life.
Will he make it to the end of his journey? You’re invited to find out! As Christian experiences joy, struggles through grief, and fights for hope in the midst of despair, you’ll be moved by this relatable and engaging story.
Shows are Dec. 1 at 7pm, Dec. 2 at 1pm and 6pm and Dec. 3 at 6pm. No tickets necessary – it’s a free event. Invite friends and family and watch Christian as he journeys toward the Celestial City to make his way home.

“Emmanuel” is a breath of fresh air for our times. The musical opens with a child in Bethlehem singing “Can I be honest? Sometimes it feels like we’ve all been walking in darkness.” Drawing parallels between the lives of people in biblical times to our own challenges today brings a real, fresh glimpse of the reality of a Savior, God with us, no matter what we may face. Narrated by different biblical characters, including Mary and Joseph, Elizabeth and Zechariah, a spunky Angel G, two tap-dancing innkeepers and some crazy, game- playing shepherds! The fun continues as we watch the whole Christmas story play out!
PreK – 2nd graders will be singing a song prior to Emmanuel. An evening for the whole family – a cookie reception will follow.
