This day commemorates the coming of the Holy Spirit in the form of flames to the Apostles, as recorded in the New Testament in Acts 2, and it marks the end of the Easter cycle, that began 90 days ago with Ash Wednesday at the start of Lent. Please wear RED on June 2nd. The color red symbolizes joy, Christ's death on the cross, and the fire of the Holy Spirit.

Summer Music Camp 2019
Fiddler on the Roof Jr. needs YOU!
Our 7th annual Music Camp will take place June 2-9 with performances on Saturday, June 8th at 7:00 pm & Sunday, June 9th at 10:00 am. This year’s production is Fiddler on the Roof, Jr! The story is set in Russia in 1905, and centers on Tevye, the father of five daughters, and his attempts to maintain his Jewish religious and cultural traditions as outside influences encroach upon the family’s lives.
Most roles are cast in advance of the June music camp dates and a few rehearsals are held in May, but the majority of rehearsals are held during the week of music camp. The children attending the camp are then staged into various scenes and songs throughout the show.
This musical requires an intergenerational cast! Will you consider offering your time and talents to our production? 15-20 adults are needed to fill major and minor roles in the cast. Teenagers are needed as “sons and daughters” and to help manage our music camp participants. Volunteers are needed to help with crafts, games, snacks, costumes, props, lights, and set construction. It is an exciting, busy week that is guaranteed to create lasting memories! We hope you will be a part of this great annual event!
Susan Smith and Mary Lynn Luke are directing this year’s Music Camp and are looking forward to working with YOU!
