Fairgrounds Square Mall Outreach

On Thursday, October 31, team Alpha, from DRAMA Ministries, partnered with Thunder Outreach Ministries and had an outreach at Fairgrounds Square Mall in Reading.

We met at a church to put on our face paint and drove together in the van to the mall. When we got there, we were a little early, but that didn’t stop us from stroll miming! Pretty soon, we walked onto the stage and people gathered around us as we presented. When we finished we stroll mimed some more, which included playing Duck, Duck, Goose, tag, and much more with a bunch of kids. After a while we presented a second time with the same songs.

Over all the outreach went very well, with no major problems. We were blessed to be able to have two of our old members, Jenn and Jeremy mime with us!  To God be the glory!

Alpha Outreach in Terre Hill

On Saturday, Oct. 19, 2013, team Alpha had an outreach at Terre Hill Bible Fellowship for their Fall Terre Hill Days.

When all of the members arrived we practiced a few of the songs, then we put on our face paint, using the bathroom mirrors. Then everyone spread out inside and outside the church and stroll mimed. In the basement there were a bunch of kids games and a human sized maze that a few of us went through. Outside there was a fire ring and some more games. After a little while we walked onto our “stage” which was in the middle of a grassy area. After we finished miming, we spread out, some of us played with the kids, while some played frisbee with the teens.

Over all, we thankfully didn’t have any major complications, and everyone seemed to receive us very well. To God be the glory!

On Saturday, Sept. 14, 2013, team Alpha held a car wash at Clark’s Garage in Adamstown to support a friend of DRAMA who has cancer. It was a very chilly day! Everyone on the team did a great job washing the cars. In all they washed 16 cars and received donations from everyone who stopped by to get their car washed. To God be the Glory!

Alpha Outreach at Autumn Hope Fall Festival

          On Saturday, October 5th, Alpha had an outreach at Autumn Hope 2013 Fall Festival by Joshua’s Hands in Waterford, VA. As usual, we road together in the van to the outreach. After about 10 minutes on the road Tim decided to stop at a gas station to fuel up, unfortunately, when he tried to start the van, we found out that the battery died. So we had to call Mrs. High (a parent of two of the members) to bring her car to help us jump the battery. After trying for a while they finally were able to charge the battery enough to get the van started.                                                            

          We arrived later than we wanted, so we quickly hopped out and started putting paint on our faces, using the van windows as mirrors. It was around 80 degrees when we grabbed our props and headed onto the stage. During a few of the songs some of the props were misplaced, which gave us some confusion. The whole time we were presenting, the sun beat down on us, making a few of the members feel faint and by the end we were all dripping with sweat. When we were finished, we picked up our props and walked over to another stage, waited for about 15 minutes, and performed the same songs there. This second stage, which was thankfully in the shade, was however, very rickety and during some of the songs we could feel the stage bouncing underneath our feet!                                                                                   

          We then ate lunch and stroll mimed for an hour or so, than we helped run the kids games. This was difficult at times to explain how to play them, without talking. A lot of the games were in the sun, so our assistant directors walked around and gave us water and made sure we stayed hydrated.                                          

          When we were finished, we all packed up and headed home. Thankfully we didn’t have any problems with the van driving back. On the ride home we received many funny looks and stares, because we still had our paint on.                                                                                                                

          Over all, it was a very good outreach! Both the kids and the parents responded very well! Even a few though of the members weren’t feeling good, we had some prop/stage difficulties, and it was very hot out, we were still able to share the gospel and be a light to everyone who was there. To God Be The Glory!
