The article announces Christian Voices‘ new play, Esther in May 2022. Donations after each performance went to Bexhill Dementia Action Alliance.
During May 2022 Christian Voices will be performing their 31st play, based on the story of “One of God’s people. Queen to a foreign king. Saved God’s people through diplomatic genius.“*!
Sorry, not got it from that (or the big hint in the title of this post)? We are of course talking about the eponymous Esther. Esther risked her own life in order to save the lives of all the Jews.
Admission is, as usual, free but any donation provided at the end of the performance will be given to Bexhill Dementia Action Alliance. More information on their work locally and nationally can be found here.
The play is written by Alan Young, songs composed by Dave Chamberlin.
The play is directed by Jacqueline Young.
The play will be performed at the following locations and times.
- Saturday, 21st May – St Stephen’s Church, Bexhill at 5 p.m.
- Sunday, 22nd May – St Peter’s Church, Bexhill at 10 a.m.
- Friday, 27th May – St Mark’s Church, Bexhill at 7:30 p.m.
- Saturday, 28th May – All Saints Church, Sidley at 3 p.m.
- Sunday, 29th May – Christchurch Methodist Church, Bexhill at 10.30 a.m.

Winter 2021/2022 sees the return of Christian Voices and our play Finding Hope!
A title that seems very apt in the current world situation.
After a break of two years we return with a play we first performed in Advent 2019. Hard to believe that the final performance this time will be in 2022.
The play is set at the time of the census and a group of friends living in Bethlehem were unaware that the birth of Jesus was about to happen.
Mark, one of the group, had recently become a widower. He was trying to cope with the loss of his wife. What would give him hope that his life still had meaning?
Written by Alan Young and directed by Jac Young from St Martha’s Church with music and songs by Dave Chamberlin.
The play will be performed on:-
- Sunday, 28th November – St Peter’s Community Centre, Bexhill at 10 a.m.
- Sunday, 5th December – Ninfield Methodist Church at 10.30 a.m.
- Sunday, 12th December – Christchurch Methodist Church, Bexhill at 10.30 a.m.
- Sunday, 9th January – St John The Evangelist, St Leonards at 10:30 a.m.
In the midst of a global pandemic, we are saddened to report this awful disease has taken one of our own; Keith Bridger, our friend and regular contributor.
Keith performed in five plays for Christian Voices. His varied roles included the Wounded Man aided by the Good Samaritan (“What would you do?”) and the father of the Prodigal Son (“Lost and Found”).
Keith will be remembered by all that knew him as a truly kind man of God.
Our love and prayers go to Keith’s family and friends.
And the wonderful comments about Finding Hope by Christian Voices just keep on coming, this time from Vanessa Wood and John Mewett.
Here’s another great commment about Christian Voices latest play, Finding Hope. This comment is from Phil.
Christian Voices have received some great new comments regarding our latest play, Finding Hope.
Christian Voices have received these wonderful comments from Paul & Bet on behalf of Ninfield Methodist Church about our latest play, “Finding Hope“.
Just a short line to thank you, & all the Christian voices group, for a lovely presentation of ‘Finding Hope’ yesterday morning.
The play was very moving and the theme was very original and touching. The songs were excellent, too.
We felt everything came together to lead us in a spirit-led service.
Well done & thanks again.
