Welcome to the Madhouse!
Saturdays, February 10-March 30
11:30am-1 pm at Asbury in the music room
Refreshments will be served.
Our Madhouse inhabitants include Pilate’s Wife, the Rich Man, the Best Friend, the Mourner, the Servant Girl, Barabbas, the Centurion, and the Thief.
This series looks at the lives of those who were stopped on their journey through life and encountered Christ and then (in most cases) turned away to go another direction. The inhabitants of our madhouse all struggle with the meaning of Jesus Christ for them and our world. They went their way, lived their lives, tried to cope, but couldn’t put away that one person for the rest of their lives, nor the thought of the opportunity they may have missed.
Starting February 10, we will be meeting on Saturday afternoons to explore how these lives were affected by their encounter with Christ. We will watch a 15-minute video, and then discuss the story. This series was created by the BBC, and includes Eileen Atkins, Claire Bloom, Tony Robinson, and Jonathan Pryce.
