On Saturday, March 12, The Underground will attend the Broadway musical Godspell which is written by the same writer of the Broadway musical Wicked, by the Troy Ridgedale Players. The cost is $17.00 per ticket. 

"Godspell is cause to rejoice! This irresistibly exuberant production will make you a believer in the power of musical theater!" - USA Today 

"Go forth and enjoy!" - New York Magazine
 
Prepare ye for GODSPELL, the beloved musical from Stephen Schwartz, the Grammy® and Academy Award®-winning composer of WICKED. Raise your spirit with the Tony®-nominated score filled with the popular hits "Day By Day," "Light of the World". The structure of the musical is that of a series of parables, mostly based on the Gospel of Matthew (three of the featured parables are recorded only in the Gospel of Luke). The parables are interspersed with a variety of modern music set primarily to lyrics from traditional hymns, with the passion of Christ treated briefly near the end of the performance. It is a timeless tale of friendship, loyalty, and love that has touched the hearts of countless theatergoers all over the world.  It will stir your soul, raise your spirit and lift you  right out of your seat. Contact Larry Jamison for more information.

March 1, 2016 marks the 2nd anniversary of our beloved Pastor Roland Stringfellow. As a congregation, let us pause, reflect and give thanks for his presence, guidance and leadership. Under his direction, we have increased membership, formed new outreach programs and come together in the spirit of community fellowship. In the days and months ahead, we ask God to bestow special blessings and a covering of protection on him. As we celebrate this anniversary, Pastor Stringfellow is busy writing his dissertation and preparing for his role at the UFMCC General Conference. Let us each think of ways we can show our love and support during his anniversary season.

We are looking for a few good PowerPoint operators! Are you comfortable with PowerPoint? Here's a ministry you can do sitting down! It is easy to do--there's a script to follow, and a few buttons to push, and it's a good idea to arrive about 10:30 am on Sunday to set up the laptop and go over the script before the service. Interested? Email the church office or call 248-399-774.
