OAKLAND — Pleasant View Baptist Church will again present a Christmas Puppet Show entitled “An Unexpected Christmas’’ written by Donna VanLiere to be held over two weekends in December.
“A winter storm has left one disgruntled group of travelers stranded in a train station. Unable to do anything but stare at each other, this unlikely mix — one Christian, one doubter, one serious skeptic and one goofball — strike up a serious conversation about the Christmas story and the miracle of Jesus.’’
This light-hearted story combines a powerful message told by Jim-Henson-style puppets with special lighting and effects, multimedia, a multi-level 40-foot stage, and lots of upbeat, catchy Christmas songs to help get everyone into the Christmas spirit.
The puppet show will be held over two weekends, with 12 different performances.
The schedule is as follows: Fridays, Dec. 9 and 16 at 6:30 p.m.; Saturdays Dec. 10 and 17 at 2 p.m, 4 p.m., and 6 p.m.; and Sundays Dec. 11 and 18 at 4 p.m. and 6 p.m.
There is no cost for the presentation, but seats are limited at each showing so persons must have reservations.
“This is our gift to your whole family this Christmas season. Its not just for children,’’ said Senior Pastor Wally Weeks, Pleasant View Baptist Church.
The church is located two miles south of Oakland along U.S. Route 219. Reservations can be made online at www.pleasantviewbc.org or by calling the church office at 301-334-8515.
