Irene Kao (right) stayed with us in New York after this year's MasterWorks Festival. She reconnected us with Cathy Englade (left), who attended the theatre program in 2003. I asked Cathy to share something about a great experience she had recently:

Here's a blip about the graciousness of God in se...

We opened The Miracle Worker last night to a standing room only crowd, and our wonderful team brought the rest of the audience to their feet at the curtain call. Three performances left: http://Itinerary.RichDrama.com/.

Amy Burley prays for me year round, and I'm one of ten people on her prayer list, which she keeps track of on her fingers. This thumb reminds her to pray for me.

Thanks so much Amy!

Larry preached at yesterday's service to the full community, and today he shared with our theatre students. He's telling us how to be stars:

Know the difference between who you are and what you do.

They have arrived!!! We're missing one due to a flight delay, but it was just so thrilling to see returning students--one for her fourth year--alongside many newcomers.

Just before boarding my flight to Chicago on Friday I got a call saying that there was a chance that my Saturday night performance would be switched to Sunday night so we'd have more time to prep.  So I got on the phone with the airline and explained that the only reason I was flying to Chicag...

Peter is preaching on Matthew 6:25-34, which promises us troubl...
