Luv Esther
Christians from around the country are being invited to join a massive weekend party across Central London on 9-11 May 2008 – the Pentecost Festival.
Free events and high impact performances will fill hundreds of venues - coffee shops, parks, pubs, streets, boats, churches, clubs, hotels, halls, restaurants, theatres, and shops – near 10 Northern Line Tube stations, from Camden Town to Waterloo.
As a key partner at the Pentecost Festival, Bible Society will host one of the showcase events, Luv Esther.
Luv Esther is a stage musical hit pop-opera, with a full professional cast and pioneering soundtrack, which brings the Bible story of Esther to life.
It unlocks some of the Bible’s key messages, and sets out to build, inform and energize Christians as a community of activists. Called for such a time as this, we too have a purpose to reach out with compassion for the poor, broken and lost throughout the world.
Luv Esther features Tony Award nominated record producer Kevan Frost, (West End & Broadway), scriptwriter and director Murray Watts, (The Miracle Maker) and stage set designer Sean Cavanagh, (Joseph and The Rat Pack) – a complete pedigree that makes Luv Esther the musical extravaganza unlike any other.
Bible Society is also hoping to help people encounter God and the Bible in a fresh and vibrant new way by hosting a lyfe reception. This simple but effective idea is based on the radical concept that, through Christ, anyone can hear God speak.
lyfe is about meeting with your friends in a coffee shop to discuss big questions. It’s about discovering what God has to say about our everyday world. It’s about encountering the Bible with your heart and mind, in a vital way.
Meanwhile, Bible Society will also be raising the curtain on its new national film festival, BigStoryLittleFilm.
