Kids Musical - Tell Me the Truth
Make your way to the McKendree Sanctuary at 6:00 PM on Wednesday, April 22nd for a wonderful musical event, immediately followed by ice cream, popcorn, & cotton candy in the Fellowship Hall.
It’s 1970, and time for the grooviest game show on television, “Tell Me the Truth”. Host Jane Cheese, and intrepid announcer Johnny Glibb guide our 3 contestants. Skip (a catch and release mosquito wrangler), Mildred (an amateur surgeon), and Adrian (a freelance astronaut), through what should be a simple array of Bible questions. The answers are surprising, and seemingly wrong, until the judges, and all of us, take a fresh look and discover the real meaning and message — Jesus!
A fundraiser offering to support the children's ministry will be taken during the intermission. If you like, you can give now.
