Join us on Saturday October 26 at 7:00 pm and Sunday October 27th at 2:00 pm, at Hinton Avenue UMC for our very own, one-of-a-kind, unique adaptation of the hit Broadway musical The Best of GODSPELL!
GODSPELL (music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz; book by John Michael Tebelak) is a musical rendition of the Gospel – primarily the book of Matthew – where a group of people help Jesus tell different parables by using a wide variety of storytelling techniques, games and hefty doses of comic timing. An eclectic blend of songs, ranging in style from pop to vaudeville, is employed as the story of Jesus’ life dances across the stage. Dissolving hauntingly into the Last Supper and the Crucifixion, Jesus’ message of kindness, tolerance and love comes vibrantly to life.
Elizabeth Scribner, Minister of Music at HAUMC, will direct this exhilarating, meaningful and memorable experience!
In lieu of tickets, a Love Offering will be taken up to benefit Rachel’s Haven which is a proposed fifteen-unit apartment building on the site of Hinton Avenue United Methodist Church in Charlottesville, Virginia. At Rachel’s Haven, four to six apartments will be set aside for adults with developmental disabilities. The remaining apartments will be rented to the public. People with disabilities and those without disabilities will live as neighbors to each other. At Rachel’s Haven, adults with developmental disabilities will live safely, meaningfully, and as independently as possible in an inclusive, integrated apartment building. Rachel’s Haven is a ministry of the Charlottesville District of the United Methodist Church. No tickets or reservations are required. Bring yourself and friends for a great experience.
