Mother
of the Wesleys (Susanna Wesley)
 Mother of 19 children, Susanna Wesley was an
educated and
strong-willed woman of the 18th century. Seven daughters and
three sons lived to adulthood. Susanna gets her claim to fame through her
sons John and Charles. John was the founder of the Methodist Church, and
Charles wrote many hymns including “Oh For a Thousand Tongues to Sing” and
“Christ the Lord is Risen Today.”
Anne Dalton has done Susanna Wesley
presentations around the US and many times in England including the Pier
Theatre in Bournemouth.
Presentations for any denomination
can include the following topics:
Forgiveness
Reconciliation
Child rearing
Prayer and Praise
Unconditional love
Mary Magdalene
The Women that
Traveled with Jesus
Mary Magdalene steps out of time to tell her personal, first hand account,
of the ministry of Jesus. By the light of an ancient flickering oil lamp,
Mary recounts in exciting details the daily life of the women that traveled
with Jesus and the inner workings of the circle of Apostles. She breathes
vivid life into the books of the New Testament. The experience is enhanced
with period clothes and an actual Jewish oil lamp.
The
Beatitudes
Mary Magdalene, a woman poor in spirit, reveals new insights into the
words Jesus taught the disciples on the mountainside—words that change
lives. As Mary describes events in the life of Jesus, you will see and feel
him living out the beatitudes. And perhaps, you will understand how you can
apply them more fully in your life.
Mary
Magdalene at the Tomb
Jesus set Mary free from seven evil spirits. Forever filled with love for
the Lord, she tells her story of serving Him and others to show her
appreciation. Through Mary’s eyes, you will relive the last week of Jesus’
life, his death and resurrection. Thorns
from the Holy Land like those used in the crown of thorns will make the
experience even more realistic.
"The presentation was spellbinding! Mary was so real it seemed she was
standing among us!"
Mary—Mother of Jesus
Experience Mary’s life from a different point of view.
She is open and honest about her joy, her fears, and her doubts. You are an
eyewitness to her difficult choices and the exhilaration and consequences
that result.
“I’ve heard so
many positive comments about your portrayal of Mary. Your message of being
willing to serve whether young or old touched our hearts. This season
of Advent will be richer because of your gift—illuminating Mary’s choice and
service.
FAITH
The Spyglass
Using the book, The Spyglass, by
Richard Paul Evans, Anne Dalton tells a story about a spyglass that enables
the viewer to see what might be—instead of what is. Imagination is ignited
by the spark of faith, and with faith comes hope and change. By sharing a
vision and inspiring people to work together, goals can be achieved that
benefit individuals, communities—even the whole world. The story is adapted
to inspire visions for local situations.
