The Journey Continues: Changing our World, pt. 2

My Journey this week is the final portion of Bill Oxley’s talk: “Bringing the World to Christ” given to pilgrims at a recent retreat. Bill covered four fields of ministry concerning Changing our World. Last Week’s column was on Field One: “Ourselves” and Field Two: “Bringing other people to Christ and the church.” Today, Bill concludes with Field Three: Our City, State and Nation; and Field Four: Reaching out to other peoples and Nations of the World. Bill is a member of Solid Rock Church in San Marcos.

Wimberley Players present the comedy play ‘Clue: on Stage’

The comedy play, “Clue: On Stage” opens on the Wimberley Players stage Feb.18 and runs through March 13. From the iconic 1985 Paramount movie which was inspired by the classic Hasbro board game, “Clue” is a hilarious farce-meets-murder mystery featuring many of Wimberley Player’s well-loved actors. The tale begins at a remote mansion, where six mysterious guests assemble for an unusual dinner party with murder and blackmail on the menu. When their host turns up dead, they all become suspects. Led by the butler Wadsworth, Miss Scarlett, Professor Plum, Mrs. White, Mr. Green, Mrs. Peacock, and Colonel Mustard, all race to find the killer as the bodies stack up. “Clue” is the comedy whodunit that will leave both cult-fans and newcomers in stitches as they try to figure out… who did it, where, and with what.
