Piercing Word will present "The Advent of Christmas" at Wesley Church, 1104 Kirkwood Pike, Quarryville, on Sunday, Dec. 10.

Inspired by the traditional themes of Advent, "The Advent of Christmas" celebrates the hope, faith, joy, peace, and love found in Christ. This production includes the traditional Christmas narrative from Luke 1 and 2 and other passages that highlight the birth of Christ and why His arrival matters.

There will be a brief refreshment break after the performance, and then Piercing Word will lead a Bible memorization workshop. Guests may choose to attend either the performance, the workshop, or both, and attendees of the workshop may actively participate or just watch and listen.

Memorization workshops aim to help people of all ages replace boring memorization habits with fun, life-giving spiritual discipline. Workshop participants will learn how to use their strongest learning styles to their advantage and discover how to memorize Scripture faster, retain it longer, and have fun while they do it.

Although there is no admission fee for either event, a freewill offering will be accepted.

Piercing Word's mission is to "ignite passion for the Word of God in the heart of the church." The organization challenges everyone, everywhere they go, to memorize the Word of God for themselves and then equip them to do so through memorization workshops and discipleship programs. For those who wish to delve deeper into Bible memorization, Piercing Word offers a "Warriors of the Word" course and book.
