Before and after the performance, everyone is encouraged to browse at display booths representing Gethsemane groups involved in outreach or mission. Find out what’s happening and how you might put your faith into action. See what might interest you or make a suggestion. Representatives will be at each table to answer questions. The evening’s schedule is:
6:30-7:00 p.m. Browse the Outreach Booths and nibble on a tasty treat
7:00-8:15 p.m. Concert by Libby Turner
8:15-8:45 p.m. Dessert, Coffee and More Browsing
This event is for everyone of all ages. It’s designed to be family-friendly. There will be no charge; however, a freewill offering will be collected to defray the cost of the performance. Any additional donations will be used for our Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity Project support.
Each of us is called to action by our faith. It’s time to move outside the walls of our church and get serious about “Reaching to Serve.” A number of Gethsemane groups are joining together in organizing this musical event to lift up and energize our Christian call to mission. You and your family are encouraged to come and BE PART OF IT! Invite others. Let’s make April 10 an evening to remember!
