Tickets on sale Friday, July 21 at 10:00 AM 

CALENDAR INFORMATION

WHAT:                CHRISTMAS WITH C.S. LEWIS, Starring David Payne

WHEN:                 Wednesday, December 20 – 7:30 PM

Thursday, December 21 – 7:30 PM

PRICE:                  $64.00 (Additional service fees may apply.)

INFO:                   In the early years of his young adult life, C.S. Lewis believed that the story of Christ’s birth was nothing more than a feel-good myth. That all changed after an encounter with his great friend and fellow author, J.R.R. Tolkien. Although both men loved mythology in general, Tolkien was convinced that the Jesus myth was the one true myth. That was the start of Lewis’ journey from Atheism to Christianity, and Christmas took on an entirely different meaning for him.

In the early years of his young adult life, C.S. Lewis believed that the story of Christ’s birth was nothing more than a feel-good myth. That all changed after an encounter with his great friend and fellow author, J.R.R. Tolkien. Although both men loved mythology in general, Tolkien was convinced that the Jesus myth was the one true myth.
