The Rock and The Rabbi

Saturday, July 26: Our church will be sponsoring a one-day trip to Fort Atkinson’s Fireside Theater on Saturday, July 26, 2008. We will be attending The Rock and The Rabbi, a contemporary Christian musical about a Fisherman, Simon Peter, and a Teacher, Jesus, narrated in a storytelling format through the eyes of the apostle Peter. The production has been described as “an intimate, funny and thrilling tale of friendship, betrayal, forgiveness, and reconciliation,” and it is appropriate entertainment for all ages. A Tri-State Travel Charter Coach will leave SotH’s parking lot at 8 a.m. and will return approximately 6 p.m. A three-course lunch at the Fireside restaurant is included. Cost of this trip is $80.00 per person. Paid reservations may be made with Sue Cording or Pastor Barb. We have reserved 42 seats that will be available to members and friends of SotH on a first come, first served basis. If unfilled seats remain after April 1, 2008, the travel opportunity will be opened up to the general public. Get your reservation early. If you have questions, please contact Sue Cording.

If you have not yet picked up your pictorial directory, please see Pastor Barb, Kari Gehrts, or Karen Velsor. We are asking that you give a minimum donation of $5.00 to offset the cost of the directory. If you did not get your picture into the directory, it is not too late. See Ray Israel, who will be glad to “snap your photo” for addition to the directory. This is true for those “regular visitors” at SotH too.
