windows, adding a new mural on a more visible external wall, adding a larger canopy over the doors on the side of our building, painting the remainder of the building to give it a clean and crisp look, adding some stone and texture to our entranceway steps to make them safer and more attractive, redoing some electrical and updating/adding new lights and fixtures to the outside of our building.”
“‘Parables of Jesus’ is a highenergy and humorous telling of the stories that Jesus told to His followers,” said Ashlee Heyward, team member, describing Piercing Word’s original production. “The piece gives the audience a fresh and everyday perspective of these stories told over 2,000 years ago, and we tell them word for word from the English Standard Version Bible. The Scripture is our script.” “Parables of Jesus” will be performed at the Junction Center, 1875 Junction Road, Manheim, at 7 p.m. on Friday, June 30, and at 3 and 7 p.m. on Saturday, July 1. The stories are told with an African inspiration. “The use of African-inspired instruments and movement helps remind viewers of how beautifully diverse the church is,” Heyward explained. “In a season where we are seeing so much division and brokenness in our country when it comes to issues of race, we have a unique opportunity to celebrate and demonstrate our unity in Christ.” The show will include stories of the sheep and shepherd, the Good Samaritan and the Prodigal Son, among others. “This show is both humorous and poignant and will leave you thinking deeply about the truths presented in a fresh way,” Heyward shared. “It’s a fun show that is perfect for the whole family.”

The renovations began in May and are expected to wrap up in August. External and internal construction is currently underway at the building, located at 15 S.
