Mary Poppins - August 11 - August 12, 2017

Center Place Christian Theatre

 Director's Note 

Thank you for your support of CPCT and this prouction of Mary Poppins.

 

Mary Poppins is a sweet story that reminds parents to be present and invested in their children's lives, treasuring the time that passes so quickly.  Sometimes we get caught up in society's expectations and the things we need in life.  Mr. Banks struggled with these pressures, but realized with Mary Poppin's and Bert's help, that he was out of baance, neglecrtful of family relationships, and forgot what it was like to be childlike.  Matthew 18:3 reminds us that we should be like children, 

 

Whosoever, therefore, shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.  And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name, receiveth me."  In Mosiah 1:120, we are reminded that to become as a child is to be "submissive, meek, humble, patient, full of love, and willing to submit, as we should submit our will to our Heavenly Father.

 

Mary Poppins says that anything is possible.  So even though all families have the potential to be "upside down" at times, with Jesus Christ at the center of our homes as Philipians 4:13 states, "I can do all things through Christ, which strengtheneth me."  

 

We hope this presentation reminds you of the joys of family and the importance of being kind one to another. 

 

Remember:  "If you reach for the heavens, you get the stars thrown in!"  So, be optimistic because "anything can happen if you let it!"
