When the Corn Moon Glows
A play about the Plymouth Separatists and the first Thanksgiving. First performed by the Community in Plymouth in November 2022.
The Separatists were radicals. They were not the dogmatic Puritans who wanted to purify the Church of England, which itself was an attempt to reform the Catholic church. No, these Separatists had a fire in their heart to follow the pattern of the primitive church in the book of Acts. Though short-lived, their attempt at Plymouth Plantation is inspiring to us, and we hope to you as well.
The Gospel of the Kingdom - How Can I Know God's Purpose For My Life?
As a Christian with my own online "ministry", I never had peace when I would read the haunting words: "many shall say to me, did we not do these mighty works in your name?

This made me very needy, and caused me to cry out to God continually with all my heart. Eventually, He led me to a people who were not only able to explain the Bible to me, but actually had the life, the REALITY of what is in the scriptures.
