The Vine

Plunge through a hole in a vine wall into a land based on John 15. This land is filled with people, animals and grapes of all hues. It is tended by a mysterious gardener and threatened by a deceptive crow. In this allegory, Bethany's journey will show children ages 8-14 the relationship they can have with God (the Gardener) through Jesus (the Vine). They will also witness Bethany grow as she learns to place her confidence in the Gardener and stands up for what is right. The story even goes beyond John 15 and encompasses the life, death and resurrection of Christ to complete the journey of redeeming grace.

Bethany rescues her dog, Cherokee from an entanglement in a grapevine wall, and discovers a fantastic world that the wall envelopes. She becomes friends with several of the garden's inhabitants until a crow accuses Bethany of setting a series of traps that threatens their security. In an effort to uncover the truth and prove her innocence, Bethany embarks on a journey to the Gardener's cottage. Crow plots to destroy the Vine wall and seems victorious...until three days later.
