Hope United Methodist Church - Ephrata

08/07/2026

Thank you to everyone who participated in the multitude of ways during our VBS program this week. We were blessed with an amazing group of kids with great support from families and volunteers, where everyone learned a lot and had a lot of fun!
Join us on Sunday morning during church for a full recap and highlights of music, lessons, stories, crafts, and prayers. We will also reveal how much the families collected throughout the week to support local families in need!
As an added bonus, as we concluded last evening, the storms lifted and a double rainbow was revealed that seemed to be a capstone for an amazing week for so many. For many, this was a reminder of God’s promises to us and that our focus scripture for the week is so true - “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”

As a result of the afternoon rain, this performance is being relocated to Hope United Methodist Church, so please join us at 6 PM for the indoor event!

UPDATE: Due to the rain, Servant Stage’s preview performance will now be held at Hope United Methodist Church at 3474 Rothsville Road, Ephrata 17522. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Servant Stage will be coming to the Historic Ephrata Cloister on Wednesday, July 29, 2026 at 6 pm for a preview performance of highlights from Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.

The performance will be held at the Amphitheater on the Ephrata Cloister Grounds. Performance is pay-what-you-will. Seating in the Amphitheater and parking on-site is first come, first served. We recommend bringing a lawn chair or blanket to ensure a seat.

Experience the dazzling spectacle of A Preview Performance of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat! This beloved Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice musical bursts to life with the vibrant songs, energetic dancing, and a kaleidoscope of color as it retells the biblical story of Joseph and his coat of many colors. From joyous country hoedowns to rock-and-roll showstoppers, this preview version of the family-friendly favorite is packed with humor, heart, and unforgettable music. Join us for a fun-filled celebration of faith, forgiveness, and the power of dreams in this high-energy production that will leave audiences singing all the way home!
