ELEMENTARY MUSICAL
February 25 at 7:00 pm
Wexford Campus in the South Venue
A Not So Terrible Parable
Performed by Berkeley Hills and Wexford students
It was a dark and stormy night . . .
a man lay injured by the side of the road. Two travelers passed him by. Mysteriously, he is delivered to the doorstep of the quaint Mountain Vista Inn, where the startled guests, the butler and the maid (of course!), and a famous detective must use their wits to sleuth out every clue to get to the bottom of this mystifying whodunit.
Please join us for mystery, candlelight, organ music, strange pizza toppings, and our host, Alistair McAlister,
in this Master’s Peace Theater re-creation of the
parable that Jesus told about the Good Samaritan.

take responsibility for the status of our most important relationship
-
our relationship with God.
Each day during Spiritual Enrichment week, we will have chapel with praise and worship as well as a guest speaker. Our prayer is that the week energizes and encourages
each of us to make God our source of life
