🎬 The Creation of The Wizard of Oz
Friday, June 26 at 7 PM

Join renowned musical theater historian Charles Troy for a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at the making of one of the most beloved films of all time. Through film clips, photos, music, and storytelling, Charles reveals the surprising true story behind the movie generations have come to love.

One of the greatest songs ever written, THE RAINBOW CONNECTION. No matter where you are in your life, it speaks to each of us about the power of hope and love and optimism. Enjoy Nathan’s rendition from Sunday’s service at Bethel.

We began our May sermon series, “Like A Prayer: Prayer Practices When Words Are Hard to Find,” this past Sunday by exploring how music itself can be prayer, in the Bible and in our lives today.
This Sunday we’ll continue the series with a prayer practice that is much quieter but still powerful: breath prayer. I hope you’ll join us, whether in person or online--you are welcome!
