Alpha and Omega, our beginning and our end, you break the locks of gated communities and hardened hearts: accept our doubts, heal our desire for certainty and, by your Spirit's gentle touch, make us a people forgiven and forgiving; through Jesus Christ, the Giver of Peace. Amen

Guild Hall Players presents another regional premiere: 33 VARIATIONS by Moises Kaufman April 21-23. This innovative inspiring Broadway hit tells two parallel stories: Beethoven struggles to finish his final musical masterpieces while a contemporary music scholar struggles to solve the mystery of what inspired the great composer to his finest achievements. Directed by Deb Campbell, the play features a live performance of Beethoven's masterwork. The play is a "deeply moving" (LA Times) opportunity for both music and theatre lovers. Friday, April 21-Sat April 22 8 pm Sun April 23 7 pm Reservations at 683-5686.

Word for the Week ~ Doubt
There's a bit of the Doubting Thomas in all of us, as is natural for thinking beings. We can be convinced in our own minds, we can hold fast to what we believe, and still have a certain modesty about what we say we know absolutely to be true.
