VCY Radio Thanksgiving Specials​

November 8, 2024

Tune in to VCY America will for the following Thanksgiving specials:

“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. Airing Saturday, November 23rd at 3pm Central and Sunday, November 24th at 5pm Central.

“Remembering Pilgrims” – This special takes listeners on location to Plymouth, Mass. Unique stereo recordings capture the sounds of the water where Pilgrims first landed, the creaks and groans of the Mayflower II. It includes interviews, authentic hymns from the era and dramatic vignettes which all paint a picture of American history that is profoundly moving and distinctively Christian. Airing Saturday, November 23rd at 6pm Central.

Christmas Specials will begin November 30th. Be sure to check vcy.org as schedules will be published soon.

It highlights the strength, determination, and resilience of the people of Lahaina and follows Native Hawaiian community leaders who see the tragedy as an opportunity to re-envision a new town based on ecological restoration, cultural repair, and ultimately a chance to build a stronger, more equitable and more sustainable future for all of Hawai’i.
