PUPPET PERFORMANCE March 2006

On March 18, 2006 the youth of our congregation again entertained us through the use of Puppets. This program led us through the life of Daniel, his dreams, dream interpretations, time in the lions den and through all this, not losing his faith in God.

This was another very fine performance by our youth. They put their all into these productions. I might mention that these “youth” range in ages from six to seventeen. One would never know it by watching. A big Thank You to all of our youth involved! We of course cannot let this go without a big thanks to our Director of Fine Arts Ministries, Ruth Brannen. She continues to do a superb job with our youth programs as well as other productions with our adults.

And let us not forget the Board of Fellowship for providing us with an assortment of Pizzas. No program is fully complete without food.

On January 21, 2006, we at Our Redeemer were treated to another great meal, again served by our very competent servers, our youth! Following the meal we enjoyed  a grand evening of music and singing provided by Tom and Sarah Bender, Austin Sprague, Deanna Clarkson and our Director of Fine Arts Ministry, Ruth Brannen.

The singers were accompanied by Ruthie and Deanna played several solo pieces on the piano. All of the singing made the time well worth while. Our youngest singer, fourteen-year-old Austin was superb! If his singing voice improves any as he matures, he will be a very great singer! A few pictures of the evening follow.
