Well, opening night of my church's Easter Drama, Fishers of Men came and went. I cannot believe how quickly that happened!  All of the practice paid to the sound of a standing ovation.

If you missed out, there's one more performance tomorrow at 7:00pm at High Point Baptist Church in Larksville.

Fishers of Men

High Point Baptist Church is once again presenting an Easter drama this year on April 17th and 18th at 7pm. This year's story entitled, Fishers of Men is told mainly from Peter's point of view from being chosen by Jesus to  the beginning of his ministry after the crucifixion and resurrection. The cast includes church members of varying ages to create a realistic setting of the people Jesus and His disciples ministered to.   There is no cost to either performance so everyone is welcome to hear the ultimate story of love and sacrifice.
