Weekly Letter from Deacon Rick
The Lenten season has begun. Lent does not conjure up the same excitement and joy as celebratory seasons such as Easter and Christmas. Instead it is viewed as a bit sobering, perhaps even gloomy – ashes, penance, sacrifice, etc.

Save the Date for the BCHS Spring Musical!
The Drowsy Chaperone
March 22 - 24
The Drowsy Chaperone
is a loving send-up of the Jazz Age musical.
With the houselights down, a man in a chair appears on stage and puts on his favorite record: the cast recording of a fictitious 1928 musical. The recording comes to life and The Drowsy Chaperone begins as the man in the chair looks on. Mix in two lovers on the eve of their wedding, a bumbling best man, a desperate theatre producer, a not-so-bright hostess, two gangsters posing as pastry chefs, a misguided Don Juan and a drowsy chaperone, and you have the ingredients for an evening of madcap delight.
Mark your calendars to join us! Ticket information coming soon.
