Following their performance of 'The Cross and the Switchblade' at the Island Hall, Lisburn last Saturday night (3rd November), the Saltmine Theatre Company were the special guests at morning worship in Mount Zion Free Methodist Church on Sunday (4th November).

After being welcomed by Pastor Nick Serb, the team spoke about the work of the Saltmine Theatre Company and of their aim of to reach people with the message of the Gospel. They presented a sketch in which two friends were having a conversation about the thief on the cross. The sketch showed the surprise of the two friends when Jesus promised the thief he would be in paradise. The whole team took part in the service and Michael Taylor, leading character in The Cross and the Switchblade, sang two solos.

Sharing from Luke 4, Pastor Serb developed the words of Jesus from Isaiah 61 explaining that for an empowered ministry it is essential to have God's anointing and touch. He concluded that just like Jesus we are called to a ministry that is not ordinary and the only way to accomplish it is to be empowered by His Spirit.

Following the service lunch was served in the church hall providing the opportunity to meet and chat with the talented performers.

The team presented 'The Cross and the Switchblade' at The Helix - Dublin, Island Hall - Lisburn; Riverside Theatre - Coleraine; An Grianan Theatre - Letterkenny and their Ireland tour concludes this weekend (Friday 9th and Saturday 10th) at Willowfield Church, Belfast.
