This Saturday is amazing with all that is happening.  If there isn’t something to strike your fancy, I’d be amazed.

Memphis Youth Theatre performs at 10 am at Playhouse On The Square “a pay what you can” rendition of “Stinky cheese Man.”  They’ll reprise it next Saturday at 1:00 pm at the Pink Palace Crafts Fair.

Girl Scout Troop 3 is hosting a garden party in honor of the 95th anniversary of scouting at 10:30 in the garden.  The closest living relative to Juliet Lowe scoutings founder will be their guest (this is quite a big deal)

Blue grass will be playing from noon to 3 and will also play for the garden party.

Nubian Theatre is practicing and will be presenting the Doxology and The Lord’s prayer in liturgical dance tomorrow in church.

Street Car Named  Desire is at 8 with its second night of performance - Again tomorrow at 2 and then next weekend Fri, Sat and Sun.

Poetry, Rhythm, jazz and Soul is also at 8 in the fellowship hall.  This is always inspirational.

 Tomorrow morning (Sunday) Ashley Keith Davis joins Gary as a musician.  He is an amazing keyboarder, organist, pianist, etc who is so skilled he can go from Bach to Bethoven to anything in the hymnal to R & B, blues, and black gospel.  Church should be amazing.

Peace,  Pastor TroyAnn
