Children’s Musical

Sunday, June 8, 10:30 am

On Sunday, June 8, during Worship, Central’s Children’s Choir will present “Once Upon a Parable” with words by Grace Hawthorne and music by Terry Kirkland. The musical tells of a rich person’s preoccupation with things that don’t matter. Discovering what really counts, the rich person learns a valuable lesson, and you might, too, as our Children’s Choir tells the story through drama and music.
