Plymouth State U’s theatre
program is performing Stephen Adly Guirgis’ 2005 play The Last Days of
Judas Iscariot on the second weekend in March. This
thought-provoking, occasionally profane, sometimes wildly funny play
re-imagines the fate of Judas in a contemporary setting. Church of the
Holy Spirit (and hopefully some folks from other local churches) will be seeing
the show at the 2 PM performance on Saturday, March 9, and you are
invited to come! There is no group ticketing rate for this production,
but if you want to be seated as part of the group, please let Grace know
(996-1490, holyspiritrector@gmail.com)
by Feb. 20. You can also buy tickets on your own through the Silver
Center box office (535-2787). After the show we will adjourn to “Beyond
the Bean” on Main Street to discuss the play.From the office at St. Andrew’s: Office Hours: Tuesday-Friday 9am-Noon
*******Winter
Weather Advisory!!! Please keep in
mind during the winter when the weather looks questionable for safe travel to
call the church before you leave home to check for schedule changes. If a storm
comes in on Saturday evening or Sunday, I will make a judgment by 6:30 AM about
whether to hold, cancel, or delay services. Cancellations will also be
announced on WMWV radio 93.5. I will also send an email out to you if you have
provided me with your email address. PLEASE do not travel if it feels unsafe to
you. Enjoy a Sabbath morning at home and remember St. Andrew’s in your prayers.
