Engaging New Corridors Of Recreation and Education
Morris Arboretum trip!
ENCORE operates in conjunction with the Pastoral Care Ministries. This ministry at COHS is designed to provide adults with opportunities for community through recreation, education and spiritual exploration.” The group meets at various venues in neighboring communities. The group is currently being coordinated by Louise Beebe and Maryanne Swartz.
All adults at Holy Spirit are invited to join ENCORE friends at several outings planned in the next few months. ENCORE stands for Engaging New Corridors Of Recreation and Education, so we try to plan a variety of events, including entertainment, art, music, social gatherings and visits to historical places in the area. We are always open to suggestions.
All adults (parishioners, friends, family, guests) are invited to join us for our upcoming ENCORE activities. New folks are always welcome and carpooling can be arranged.
Please let either Maryanne Swartz or Louise Beebe , know if you can join us for an event(s) and/or lunch
Events for 2025
Saturday, May 10
Lunch and “The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe” at DCP
11:30 AM Brunch at The Rockhill Filling Station, 1710 N. Ridge Road, Perkasie
1:00 PM “The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe” show at DCP Theatre, 795 Ridge Road, Telford
Come join us as we enjoy a performance of the beloved classic tale of books and movie, “The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe,” at 1 p.m. on Saturday, June 10, at the DCP Theatre in Telford.
According to the theatre website, this dramatization of C.S. Lewis’ classic work recreates the magic and mystery of Aslan, the great lion, his struggle with the White Witch, and the adventures of four children who inadvertently wander from an old wardrobe into the exciting Narnia. The intense action features chases, duels, and escapes as the witch is determined to keep Narnia in her possession and to end the reign of Aslan. This story of love, faith, courage and giving, with its triumph of good over evil, is a true celebration of life.
Since the afternoon shows sell out quickly, we suggest you order tickets immediately online at dcptheatre.org. The online price for tickets is $15.00 for this family performance with an additional $2.00 fee.
