The British and Nauvoo Pageants are the highlight of the summer

The British Pageant

The British Pageant depicts when missionaries come to the British Isles to spread the Gospel and many were baptized and encouraged to emigrate to Nauvoo, Illinois...to Zion

Nauvoo Pageant

The Nauvoo Pageant depicts when the British saints land in Nauvoo and about the building of the Temple.  

Both pageants are alive with singing and dancing and great stories.  A must see.

On the evening of July 9th the Core Cast of the British Pageant perform

As a treat for the Elders and Sister missionaries we watched the Core Cast of the British Pageant perform....

Our Story Goes On

This performance reflects how the restored Gospel lives on through the ages. From birth, childhood, marriage, raising kids and then grandchildren and then approaches life's passing, but only with our posterity that lives on.
