Student Photos

February 6th will be the 1st of two practices to get your individual photos for our cast/crew photo board (displayed at each public performance). 
(IF you are at basketball on Feb. 6th - your photo will be taken at the following practice!)

In order to get the best possible photos . . . 

1. You can choose the shirt you wear (consider modesty) HOWEVER, do not wear shirts with logos, words, or graphics! 

2. No hats can be worn! 

3. Yes, jewelry, neck scarves, etc.

4. All pictures will be taken in color but converted to black and white (to uniform the cast/crew photo board)

5. Always wear your SMILE:) 

(P.S. - ALL Directors, Support Team Members, and Leaders are to get their picture taken as well!!!!

Prayer Request!

The Schimp Family would greatly appreciate prayers for Mrs. Becky Schimp's Mother (Betty).

Betty (93 years) is in the hospital (ICU) and is dealing with pneumonia. The report this morning after an x-ray is that the pneumonia has worsened - making her breathing more difficult. She is on strong antibiotics and continues to wear an oxygen mask.

The Weimer Family would also apprecitate prayers for Mrs. Kellie Weimer's Parents.

Her mother is home after a fall and injury to her shoulder. Scott and Kellie are there now, giving in home assistance along with Kellie's sister.
At the same time, Kellie's step-father is hospitalized with pneumonia. He is out of ICU as of last night.

Please prayer for God's strength for these families and their loved ones.

We know that God is good.

Director Jennie

Thanks for you Audition



WOW! We had huge audition numbers yesterday! The Audition Panel is proud of each and every one of you! There was so much talent offered, that after much agonizing thought and prayer, the Audition Panel has come to their final decision. Postings will follow shortly. 

Jeremiah 29:11
 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” 

I challenge you to keep the devotional I shared yesterday in mind. The Lord is our good Father who holds our hand and leads us on life’s journey – no matter if the path at the time is smooth and even or steep and rocky. Our good Father will give us the strength to fulfill His plans for us in 2017. 

Isaiah 41:13
 For I am the Lord your God who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you.

Good Afternoon!

This is the blog you will check for OLIVER TWIST postings!!!!
