Meeting Field Trip!

We talked about this at the last meeting, but just wanted to send out a reminder. This month’s meeting will be a little different. (No Kids meeting this month!) This thursday March 26th, we’ll meet at the church at 7pm like usual to talk a bit in the atrium, then carpool over to South Bend Civic Theater to see Paul in his opening night of “Sunset Limited”. Feel free to bring spouses for a date night! Tickets are $17. (Pricey but worth it!) See synopsis below. Hope to see you all there! Let’s support Paul, local theater, and experience some great thought-provoking drama together!

Synopsis:Mind-expanding theatre at its best. Black, an African-American Christian, is an optimist, determined to “save” White and inspire him toward Jesus. White is a male Caucasian atheist, educated college professor, total pessimist, whose belief that life is such a bleak existence that we are better off dead leads him to leap off a train platform in front of The Sunset Limited. But he mysteriously ends up in the arms of Black, who takes White back to his apartment for a talk. And the debate begins.

Sounds awesome! Hope to see you all there!

Drama team means Business! (time)

Foreplay Redefined from Granger Community on Vimeo.

Cohabitation from Granger Community on Vimeo.

Great job, Kyle and Lisa in the "Other Vows" drama and media (produced by Ben Sanders) this weekend. Kyle's expressions during Beeson's vows were priceless! Leslie Miller, makeup artist extroadinaire also did an excellent job making Lisa into the beautiful blushing bride. Thanks, Leslie! Also great job to the other hilarious media called "Redefining Foreplay" with Mark and Kem Meyer, produced by Jeff Petersen. My cheeks still hurt from laughing so hard at Mark eating that chip and vacuuming under the ottoman. These elements combined with some great music and an inspiring/challenging message made for a great weekend. Well done, team!

Voice Talent!

So you were probably wondering who was the amazing voice talent behind the statistics video and the "My Story" video this weekend.
Answer: Sarah Rulli and Jim Greulich

You may even recognize Jim as the voice of Martin's! We are incredibly blessed to have his talent on our team!

Sarah even did her voice over 2 days after giving birth to a beautiful baby boy named Silas! (pictured below)

Financial Peace Dramas, round 2!

Tom and Sherry kicked off the first of a series of four dramas about a couple going through the Dave Ramsey class and all the challenges they face. This is round 2 as Lisa and Kyle did the last one. It's an awesome "me, too" ministry where the students in the class have permission to be real about their situations b/c we as a team have taken some time to offer them that opportunity with excellent, authentic, and relavant drama that speaks right to their experience. Great stuff and great job Tom and Sherry! (wow, just realized how funny that sounds due to the old cartoons...) : )

"Unsaid" but said so well!

Join me in applauding Amy in her incredible performance in the live monolog this weekend as well as great performances by Kelly Geisel and Jackie C and family in the media behind. Also thanks to Ryan, Alli, Steph, Dave, and Judy in the "Tears of the Saint" media. What an incredible weekend! Great job, everyone!
