The birth of Christ is portrayed in a special episode of “The Chosen” to be shown Dec. 15, 2021, at the Enterprise Christian Church.

ENTERPRISE — The popular series “The Chosen” — about the life of Jesus Christ — is putting on a special Christmas episode, “The Messengers,” that will be shown at the Enterprise Christian Church on Wednesday, Dec. 15, according to a press release.

The episode is playing in theaters in large metropolitan areas, and the producers have made it possible for smaller areas without such cinemas to host showings. ECC has chosen to do so and is inviting all of Wallowa County to attend.

“The Messengers” episode depicts the Christmas Story through the eyes of Mary and Joseph. Through Faith Content Network, the Enterprise church was able to purchase the showing.

“The Messengers” begins at 6:30 p.m., but those attending are urged to get their seats by 6 p.m. Popcorn will be available in the church foyer.

“The Messengers” will include musical performances of new and classic Christmas songs from the set of “The Chosen” by For King & Country, Phil Wickham, Jordan Feliz, Brandon Lake, Maverick City, Cain, Matt Maher, Bryan and Katie Torwalt, We the Kingdom, The Bonner Family, Leanna Crawford and One Voice Choir.

Also, viewers will hear from cast members about the message of Christmas.

“This is the perfect opportunity to bring friends and family — including those who haven’t seen “The Chosen” — for a unique Christmas experience,” the release stated.

Face masks and social distancing will be recommended at the church as part of COVID-19 pandemic precautions.

Cost is $12.55 for adults and $10.40 for children. The church expects to be able to host about 200 people. For information contact the Enterprise Christian Church or visit https://faithcontentnetwork.com.
