Dayspring Christian Academy, 120 College Ave., Mountville, will present Thanksgiving Exposed: The True Story of the Pilgrims on Friday, Nov. 20, from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the school. Guests will select a specific time slot for a living history walk-through tour that will take about one hour. Tours will depart every 10 minutes, and registration is required.

This live re-enactment is an outreach to the community designed to tell the true story of the Pilgrims based upon primary sources, including the original manuscript recorded by William Bradford, governor of the Plymouth settlement. Thanksgiving Exposed takes guests first through a timeline that starts with Jesus Christ being the focal point for all of history. The story traces the Gospel from Jesus to the Apostle Paul and onward. Guests briefly learn about the impact of historical figures and events like King John and the signing of the Magna Carta, John Wycliffe translating the Bible into English, and Martin Luther and his 95 theses. The tour moves on to the Reformation and the reigns of Elizabeth I and James I, when persecution began for reformers in England, setting the stage for the rise of the Separatists.

Guests then move through six stations that highlight God's hand in establishing the Plymouth Colony in New England. It tells the Pilgrims' story from their beginnings in Scrooby, England, through their escape to Holland, and their heroic voyage to the New World. Thanksgiving Exposed seeks to demonstrate how the seeds of Christian self-government were planted and later gave rise to the United States of America. At the end of the tour, guests will have time to ask questions and enjoy light refreshments.

The event is free and open to the public. For reservations, visit http://www.dayspringchristian.com. Some time slots fill quickly, and a waitlist will be available when slots begin to fill up. For more information, call the school at 717-285-2000.
