Promise Players Auditions

July 12th, 2023 No comments

The Promise Players call for auditions for their fall show, The One You Need. Written by Janette Frankford-Book, the play is a story of one man’s journey to Heaven. Can he save his daughter along the way? Maybe . . . if she doesn’t accidentally kill him first! Jan is refusing to accept the fact that her father is dying. Despite his pleas for her to trust the Lord, she continues to take matters into her own hands – possibly expediting his inevitable demise!

Casting needs: 5 male roles (2 age 30+, 2 age 45+, 1 age 55+), 2 female roles (flexible age), and 2 flex roles (either gender, 1 age 30+, 1 flexible age) are available.

Auditions will be held at Lampeter Church of the Brethren: 1900 Lampeter Road, Lancaster, PA 17602 on August 26 & 27 from 1:00 to 7:00 pm. To schedule an audition appointment or for more information, please contact directors Wayne Rhinier and Janette Frankford-Book at jfrankford2911@gmail.com.

We’re also looking for crew members! If you’re interested in helping with lighting, sound, or stage crew, or as a house manager or front desk manager, please contact the Promise Players at promiseplayers@gmail.com.

Performance dates are November 3-5 and 9-12, 2023.

Persons Of Integrity-The Early Church

May 22nd, 2018 No comments

JOHN SHIRK – Today’s Persons of Integrity from the Bible is the early church.

Acts 2:42 to 47 describes the patterns of the early church. Here is an abbreviated description: “they devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer….They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.”

Here was a community of believers who really loved God and enjoyed being together. They were teachable, sincere, and generous toward those with financial needs. They were committed to prayer and intentional worship. Their witness for Jesus was bearing fruit. This description of the early church shows how we can contribute to a healthier church by the way we live our lives.

The faithfulness of the early church to meet regularly for times of worship inspires us to be connected to a local church and to live a life of integrity.
