In 2 ½ weeks our Rock Players are presenting a play at UW-Fox Valley called Hearts Full of Tears. Make a date May 13th through the 16th to see a performance! Tickets and showtimes are here. After the show, people are invited to stay for several “Talkback Sessions,” with leaders from the community, and one of those leaders is our own Pastor Bill. So please come support us in the community. Tickets are on sale out at the Connection Center and also online starting this weekend.
