This group attends local (off-Hennepin Avenue) theater and concert events. Our next Theatre a la Mode event will be the Henry’s Freedom Box at SteppingStone Theatre. This world premiere play follows the story of a slave’s courageous quest for freedom. Under the grueling conditions of a Richmond tobacco factory, everyone Henry cares about is taken away from him. Tired of being powerless, he devises an ingenious way to escape to Philadelphia, where he can live a life where everyone can be free. Inspired by actual events on the Underground Railroad, Henry’s Freedom Box is a story of perseverance and courage. We’ll see the show on Sunday, Feb. 23, at 3:30 PM. Tickets are $7. Please sign up at the Adult Council table by Feb. 7.

Sometimes a week-long class is just not something that fits into your schedule. Throughout the year, we will be offering a variety of one-time or two-time classes, some of them during the day, some of them in the evening. These will range from discussing current events with a faith perspective to theological issues on our minds, to utilizing a topic addressed by Krista Tippett on “Speaking of Faith.” Information about these classes will be posted here on our website as they are scheduled. If you have a topic you’d like to hear addressed, please contact Becky Sechrist at becky@good.org.
