We are looking at a possible trip to Lancaster, PA, to the Sight and Sound Theater, on August 25th (Thursday ). This would be an all day trip, form 7 AM until 9 PM. The cost for tickets is $16 for children, $30 for teens, and $50.00 for adults. We would also have lunch at a PA Dutch restaurant, and possible go on an Amish buggy tour. If you are interested in going, please respond to this email. This is to determine interest only. I will follow up with more detailed info and the reservation form upon my return from Ghana.
For Sunday the 31st and the 7th, please give a warm welcome to The Rev. Pamela Meeks. If you are in town, she would love to meet you!
