Coming Soon! (Palermo Update)

Imagine this entire post in a dramatic-movie-trailer-narrator-voice

Recently, in Plaza Armenia...
Balloons. Keychains.Video with little arrows.
Selling waffles. Buying speakers. Talking with "the regulars"

Just kidding, don't imagine the rest of this post in the movie trailer voice. It's way too vague.

What's with the waffles, you may ask? With a broken iron, we made pancakes with waffle batter and sold them as waffles to raise money for a nice battery-charged speaker, which we'll be inaugurating next Sunday for a drama/puppet skit. Part of Plaza Armenia is shaped like an amphitheater and several itinerant groups take advantage of that fact to perform music, do magic tricks, and clown shows. We thought we'd use it to do a skit.

Several drafts, rehearsals and a cardboard boat later, we'll finally get this show* on the road...er, park.

Pray with us:
-that the Holy Spirit would speak powerfully to the hearts of our audience, young and old
-that many would listen, respond, and choose life with Jesus (the crux of...everything)

Thanks!






*Synopsis "El Crucero de Jesus" (Jesus' Cruise)
Three people- a bum, a boxer, and a snob try to get on a cruise ship advertised as "the adventure of a lifetime". All try (and fail), until a little girl comes up, asks to get on, and climbs aboard. The cruise, as it turns out, is life with Jesus, and the child shows the other characters how they can get aboard, too. Spoiler alert: a parody of "Let it Go" is involved.
Not my most nuanced work, but I am very thankful to my experience with "Circle Time" in Backyard for writing children's ministry skits!
