— Kids of HOPE’s Spring Production, Sunday, April 17, 4:30 p.m. See a production of “Back to the Cross: a Kids Musical Adventure through Time.” Abandoned long ago and nearly forgotten, the H/O-2000 is discovered by the kids in our story while attending the annual VBS program at Midway Community Church. A series of time-traveling escapades ensue, taking our intrepid gang of time-jumpers on a wild ride, immersing them in strange times and cultures (including the totally tubular 1980s, the roaring 20s, the Wild, Wild West and even the Garden of Gethsemane!), all leading to a point of discovery about the importance of the Cross and the message of the Gospel.
HOPE Church offers a relaxed, contemporary Christian worship experience and is open to all no matter where they are in their spiritual journey. For more information, go to meethope.org.
