CFNA Dancers Enjoy “Seussical"

cfna Dancers with rev. stanley & lynette jostes

The New American Folk Dancers recently had the blessed opportunity to enjoy live theatre at Christ Memorial Lutheran Church. The occasion was the recent production of the “Seussical” musical. Performers themselves, the play provided these New Americans an opportunity to see actors performing live on-stage in a complex narrative with a live musical setting. Not only did the experience invoke awe and admiration, Seussical also provided a hope filled message that “a person’s a person no matter how small.” More importantly, Seussical prompted a reflection of how God has created each of us with worth and unique gifts, these to be celebrated and utilized for the glory of God and His people.

This unforeseen but much enjoyed opportunity was greatly facilitated by Christ Memorial member Mrs. Lynette Jostes. The CFNA Dancers made the best of it by thoroughly enjoying the play, generously sampling the intermission refreshments, and visiting at some length with Seussical artists after the play was over. More importantly, Christ Memorial’s generosity made it a special day in that it encouraged these New Americans to meaningfully reflect on the performance and experience a congregation of caring people ready to welcome them warmly.

Thank you Christ Memorial, for extending a supportive hand of partnership to CFNA, and warm friendship to the New American Dancers.
