First Baptist Church youth choir to present dinner theater



The youth choir of First Baptist Church of Cleburne will present a dinner theater at 7 p.m. Saturday in the Christian Activities Building at 105 E. Willingham. The choir will perform the musical “Entertaining Angels.”

The advance ticket price is $15 per person. Tickets can be purchased at the door for $20. Advance tickets may be purchased from any youth choir member or the First Baptist Church office.

“Entertaining Angels” includes dinner catered by Lemon Sisters and a play presented by the youth choir.

The play is a musical comedy featuring contemporary Christian songs.

In “Entertaining Angels” four angels “in training” decide to embark on a mission to help people, leading to a series of humorous mishaps as they realize they need to follow the angel directive, “Never do anything without receiving instruction first.”

All proceeds from the play will be used for the youth mission trip to Panama on July 22-29.

For information or ticket sales, call the church office at 817-645-6684 or stop by the church office.
