Delilah's Wish
In February, our church will host a performance of “Delilah's Wish” by Metro Theatre Company. We will be one of the sites around the metro area offering this play during its premiere season! Written by Mariah Richardson of St. Louis, the play tells the story of eight-year old Delilah who lives in a North St. Louis neighborhood filled with all kinds of people. Her friend Stanley is always on punishment. As for Roy-Roy and Poochie, well, Gramdma knows. She and Mr. Horowitz have been on this block so long, they know everything. Except who’s taking Mr. Horowitz’s paper every morning and why somebody would set fire to Abu’s store, and when Mama’s coming home from Iraq.
The play promises to be fun and provide excellent opportunities to connect with our community. We’ll create conversation groups for all ages and offer special curriculum to our Sunday School classes.

Our Church Council/Administrative Board sees offering this play as way to reach out to our neighbors in and around Clayton as well as family, friends and classmates.
The cost of offering this production can be covered by our general budget. However, special gifts to help with the expenses will be appreciated.
If you would like to make a donation, please indicate on the envelope or your check memo that it is for the “Community Play.”
Mark the date on your calendars and get ready to reach out in a big way early next year!
