Our Youth are delighted to share their annual Youth Musical with you on Sunday!  Sixteen youth in grades six through eleven will perform: 

"What's Up, Zak?" - A Musical Encounter with Jesus.


 

 "What's Up, Zak?" is a fun and heartwarming exploration of the Bible stories we all know and love. The familiar tale of Zacchaeus is relived as a rich but lonely tax collector casts his ego aside and climbs  a tree for just one glimpse of Jesus.  Lively songs introduce a town bustling to prepare for a visit from a V.I.P. - Very Important Prophet!  The leaders of Jericho decide to throw a parade to welcome Jesus. But the people who need love the most - the lowly beggars and the tax collectors - are not invited to the party. Join us as we discover how special Bartimaeus and Zacchaeus must have felt to learn that Jesus sees each of us and loves us - just the way we are!
