Auditions
for Rodgers and Hammerstein's "The King and I"
January 10, 2009 from 10AM – 4PM in the Hyland Center
Show dates are April 24th-26th and May 1st-2nd, 2009
"The King and I" is based on the real-life story of Anna Leonowens, who travels to Siam to tutor the King’s children and in the process she and the King learn many lessons about each other as well. The score boasts of some of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s most beloved songs, including “Getting to Know You”, “I Have Dreamed”, and the show-stopper, “Shall We Dance”. To audition, please come prepared with sheet music or tracks to sing one short song; an accompanist and a CD player will be available. We will have cold readings from the script. All ages and ethnicities are encouraged to audition! We need lots of children - they just need to be old enough to learn a song and follow direction. Sign up by the front desk or e-mail Patty Guenthner at mole118@mindspring.com, or call (404)233-2145, X648.
This year Monsignor had encouraged the stewardship committee to focus on increasing the number of pledges received in our annual stewardship of the treasure drive, Sharing God’s Gifts. Never a pastor to underestimate his flock Monsignor’s goal was no less than 100% participation. Knowing all that we have comes from our heavenly Father, Monsignor encouraged us to share our gifts to grow His church here on earth.
Monsignor was passionate about stewardship, not so much the quantity of money, but the quantity of your commitment. What were you willing to give back to our God in terms of your commitment of time, talent and treasure? Do we indeed put God first in our list of priorities, or is He merely an afterthought. If you have not done so already please fill out your pledge card and return it today.
A pledge card can be downloaded here.
You can also pledge on-line. Click on the button:
