nce again, H 20 Youth Ministries at Sanibei Community Church went over the top with their Odinner theater show, God’s Amazing Grace and Other Stories of the Faith. T h e audience traveled back in time on a dramatic musical journey, exploring the pages of a hymnal. This intergenerational presentation looked LOGOS children singing Stand Up For Jesus beyond the words and melodies of popular hymns and into the lives of those who gave us such rich treasures, treasures often taken for granted. The goal of the cast was to encourage the audience to view favorite hymns in a deeper sense: to understand, enjoy, appreciate and apply the ideas to their lives today. As guests entered the sanctuary, they experienced a true English pub atmosphere and dined on bangers and mash or shepherd’s pie. Their taste buds were fancied with bread pudding for dessert and, of course, a spot of tea.
