The Alpha/Omega Players gave an amazing performance of Godspell May 6 at Covenant, and those present responded enthusiastically both with their applause and their offerings. At last count, which includes donations given Sunday morning, we have $1800 to send to Faith Ministry for scholarships. That's enough to assure 3 high school students another year of school and the chance for the kind of job that can take them out of the on-going cycle of poverty.
We praise God for the theatrical gifts of the Players, for the generous donation of two people which covered the cost of the Players coming to Covenant, and for God's moving in the hearts of all who responded to the very real need of impoverished children and youth in Reynosa, Mexico.

Godspell comes to Covenant
Godspell is coming to Covenant Presbyterian Church Friday, May 6 at 7:30 PM. This amazing and very popular musical, which is based on the Gospel of Matthew, will be performed by the Alpha/Omega Players of Birdsboro, PA. Because of a generous donation, there is no cost to attend, but you must reserve a seat by calling the church office (610-648-0707).
A love offering will be taken at the end of the performance to benefit the scholarship fund of Faith Ministry in Reynosa, Mexico. CAMT mission teams have worked with Faith Ministry for three years and are especially interested in the scholarship funds that help make sure children can complete their education. There is no tuition charged for children to go to public schools, but families must provide uniforms and school supplies at a cost of $400 to $600 depending on the grade. Many families cannot afford to send their children to school for more than a few years which perpetuates the cycle of poverty.
Check out the earlier entries of the blog to read about CAMT's most recent visit to Faith Ministry early this year.
Covenant Presbyterian Church is located at 400 Lancaster Ave., Frazer, PA (about half way between Paoli and Exton, PA, one "block" east of the 30 and 352 intersection.
