Fine Arts Ministry, 2004-05

On Wednesday, May 18, 2005 we were again entertained by our young Puppeteers. Of course this was preceded by another good meal (you might get the idea that we like to eat). Our Puppeteers are a very dedicated group of our young people who truly enjoy this manner of witness. The story of Christ ran through the entire program and brought forth considerable applause from those attending. To the young members of Our Redeemer, we thank you and want you to know we truly do appreciate all that you do in your worship and witness to our Lord here in this place. 

On Saturday, May 14, 2005 our members were entertained by the Cherub Tone-Chimes, Cherub Choir, Bells, Puppets, Lights For The World and many more who shared their talents. As always, this was another superb performance. All involved in our music and arts programs, from the Cherubs to adults are the best, putting in considerable time and effort to make the showing the best it can be. Naturally, this was preceded by a great meal.
This was a fund-raiser for The Lights For The World Teen Choir. They will be going on tour from June 6 through June 11. Their schedule is:
Monday – Trinity Lutheran Church in Savannah, Georgia – Pastor Schroeder.
Tuesday – Savior of All in Cartersville, Georgia – Pastor Sieg.
Wednesday – Providence United Methodist Church in Siler City, North Carolina – Pastor Brannen.
Thursday – Grace By The Sea in Nagshead, North Carolina - Pastor Isler.
Friday – Return Home (Lighthouse tour along the way).
Our Candlelight Dinner Theater on April 16, 2005 was a huge success! This was an advance showing of the upcoming Lights For The World Tour, put on by our youth. As usual, they gave us a great show, including singing Octavos, Contemporary Christian music and a group of Spirituals. In June they will be touring the Southeast, visiting several congregations and I am sure all will agree that they are well worth the time to come to see and hear.
The program was proceeded by a great meal of Roast Pork, Potatoes & Gravy, Sweet & Sour Cabbage, Rolls and Wine Cake. A great big Thank You to our chef for the evening, Mr. Ken Wedell. The proceeds received this evening will help to fund the tour.

Our Dinner Theater on March 19, 2005 was a delight for all. The Theme was ORIENTAL NIGHT with Sho Ane and Friends. The program was Chinese Classical Art Songs, sung by Sho Ane Seaton, accompanied by Mr. William Toole. Both of these entertainers are very talented and gave us a very professional evening's entertainment. Dr. William Dolen told us "The Tale of the Chinese Noodle. Very interesting.
Nikki and Taylor Fishbach entertained us with a skit, "A Little Chinese Waitress." This skit was written by Nikki Fishbach, produced by the Fishbach family, with Taylor playing the part of the little waitress. A very wonderful performance by all.
Nikki, age 11, is a student at Aiken Preparatory School. She has been playing the piano for 6 years. She loves to write and has a wonderful imagination.
Taylor, age 8 is a student at Aiken Preparatory School. She is quite the lively actress, and like her sister, loves to play the piano. Taylor has been involved in dance classes for 3 years.
A very special thanks to Sho Ane, William Toole, Dr. William Dolen, the Fishbach family for the evening's entertainment, and to Shangri-La Restaurant for providing the fine meal.
All proceeds from our dinner Theaters benefit our "Lights for the World Teen Ministry" tour for this year.
If you have not attended one of these Dinner Theaters, you are missing a great opportunity to spend an evening out and enjoying the dinner, program and fellowship. They are held every month from fall to spring, usually on the Third Saturday.

On February 19, 2005 we were privileged to enjoy another of the Dinner Theaters arranged by Ruth Brannen, our Director of Fine arts Ministry. A great meal of Barbecue followed by Ice Cream dessert was as usual enjoyed by all. This was followed by an evening of “Love Songs and a Touch of Gospel” by Joey Traina, Chris Jackson and Haley Austin. These are some very talented young people. Oh yes, even our own Ruthie did a number for us. Overall a very great evening.
If you have not attended one of these Dinner Theaters, you are missing a great opportunity to spend an evening out and enjoying the dinner, program and fellowship. They are held every month from fall to spring. The next one will be held on March 19th. The cost is only $10.00 for adults and $3.00 for children.

     A good turnout this evening even though we always have room for more. Everyone enjoyed the food first, and then the performance. I am sure they will all be back for the show on March 16th.

Joey Traina with the mike gets up close. Makes one feel he is singing just for you. Chris Jackson
does a great job on the piano and also contributes a great singing voice. Haley Austin assists Joey with another song. These three young people are great entertainers. Their performance was greatly enjoyed by all!

How can we have dinner without our youth servers? It is quite obvious they enjoy serving us at these dinners. Or are they perhaps glad it is over? Either way, they do a super job of keeping the tea glasses and coffee cups full and the food served in a very efficient manner. They truly are to be commended for all the work they do here at Our Redeemer, in areas other than dinners also.
Shown here are: David Beasley, Ashley Greenwood, Callie Meadows, Meagan Diebold,
Brittany Boysworth, Carmen Meyer and Jessica Kyser.
 

SATURDAY NIGHT ALIVE!  - On October 23, 2004, approximately 35 people enjoyed a fine Chili dinner with Salad and Ice Cream along with a very special treat provided us by the Point North Christian Band. If you were one of those attending, you will agree that it was a great way to spend a Saturday night. If you were not, shame. You truly missed another of Ruthie’s great production evenings. This was much better than the World Series. Truly a great way to spend a Saturday evening!

These are not just a bunch of young kids wanting to make a name for themselves singing Gospel music. This is a group of young Christian men, and a lady, all gainfully employed and very active in their respective churches as leaders in Music and Youth Ministry. They are: Kyle Jones, Daniel Roberts, Carrel Davis, Tony Taylor and Scott Elledge. Scott hides behind a wall of drums. Elizabeth Brewington handles the sales and Michail Greer operates the control panel. Daniel Roberts presented a very inspirational message, Scripture reading and prayer.
         My apologies, my pictures of the band did not turn out well enough to be placed on this web site.

When the music is hot and loud, the feet just
won't be still
Everybody is having fun
