"The Best Christmas Pageant Ever" to Benefit Local Children's Shelter

St John's Lutheran Church is partnering with Village Square Theatre to offer “The Best Christmas Pageant Ever” to celebrate the holidays.

Proceeds from the comedic holiday story will benefit the Nancy K. Perry Children's Shelter. 

The play tells the story of the six unruly kids of the Herdman family, who go to church for the first time after being told snacks would be served. Despite protests from fellow church members, a director of the church’s annual Christmas play decides to give the Herdman children leading roles in The Nativity.

After much mayhem, the children perform their roles in unconventional ways but eventually learn the story of the birth of Jesus Christ.

The show plays at 3 p.m. Sunday. A second series will be held next weekend at 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday and at 3 p.m. Sunday.

Tickets to the play can be purchased or donations can be made on the Village Square Theatre's website.

The Nancy K. Perry Children’s Shelter provides temporary residence and care for children of Lexington County who are in a crisis. More information on the shelter can be found on their website.
