Once Upon A Mattress - May 14-24, Buy tickets here.
Many moons ago in a far-off place, Queen Aggravain decreed no couples could marry until her son, Prince Dauntless, found a bride. Princesses came from far and wide to win the hand of the prince, but none could pass the impossible tests given to them by the Queen. That is, until the “shy” swamp princess, Winnifred the Woebegone, showed up. Would she be able to pass the Sensitivity Test, marry her prince and help Lady Larken and Sir Harry to the altar? Carried on a wave of wonderful songs, by turns hilarious and raucous, romantic and melodic, this rollicking spin on the classic tale The Princess and the Pea provides some side-splitting shenanigans. For after all, a princess is a delicate thing.
Month of May - "The Drawer" - Bring new packaged socks and underwear (kids, ladies, mens) to the Ladies Brunch - we are challenging the Men's Brown Bag group to see who can bring in the most underwear. "The Drawer" - The Drawer's mission is to provide Warmth and Dignity through NEW Socks and underwear.
"At The Drawer, we believe that something as simple as a new pair of socks or underwear can provide more than just comfort, it can restore dignity, spark confidence and remind someone that they’re not forgotten and are worthy of respect."
Here is a list of most needed items received from "The Drawer":
Boys Large (L) Underwear
Boys Extra-Large (XL) Underwear
Girls Extra-Large (XL) Underwear
Girls Large (L) Socks
Boys Small (S) Socks
Girls Small (S) Socks
Women's socks
Men's socks
If interested, we can also volunteer at "The Drawer" - let the church office know if anyone is interested and we can pick a date. Volunteers help with counting and sorting our sock/underwear inventory, as well as putting these items into "bundles" for distribution. More information and a video about this process can be found here: https://www.thedrawer.org/bundle-with-us.
