They Were

Raptured' opens in College Park Friday

Open Word

Christian Ministries in Union City will present a play this weekend,

designed to offer a Christian alternative to the Halloween season.

"They

Were Raptured" is said to be a spiritually moving and entertaining

dramatization about a group of individuals who experience life-changing

decisions and blessings of the Rapture.

The play

will be presented Friday and Saturday, Oct. 27 and 28, at Benjamin Banneker

High School, 5935 Feldwood Rd., College Park, with performances at 7:30

nightly. The play is designed for the entire family. Characters portrayed

will include a minister, a business woman, a college student and an

elderly woman.

Open Word

Ministries is under the pastoral leadership of pastors Gary K. and Maya

Taylor, who commented on the play:

"In

these last days, God has called for the body of Christ to minister to

all people in a variety of different ways," said Taylor. "While

in the midst of the Halloween season of ghosts, witches and other fearful

celebrations and antics, 'They Were Raptured' serves as an excellent

alternative to bring forth a message of instilling the importance of

making God-fearing decisions, while facing peer pressure, drugs, infidelity,

religiosity, and a host of worldly sins."

Admission

donations are $10 for adults and $5 for children ages 6-12. Contact
