The Crossing: A Cabin Boy’s Journal – A dramatic portrayal providing a fresh re-telling of the Pilgrim story. It’s the story of Patrick Blythe, an orphaned 14-year-old who takes the job of cabin boy on the Mayflower. Like most of the crew, Patrick is irreligious and derisive toward the pilgrims. During the Atlantic crossing, Patrick becomes ill and passengers like William and Mary Brewster minister to him, impressing him with their kindness. Patrick finds himself pulled in two directions: toward the God of the pilgrims and toward the relative safety of his coarse companions. Discover the emotions that a young cabin boy faced on his journey to the new world on the Mayflower. Airs Saturday, November 22nd at 3pm & Sunday, November 23rd at 5pm. (All central time)

Airs Saturday, November 22nd at 6pm. (Central Time)
