Our weekly verse is Acts 4:13: “When they saw the courage of Peter and John and realized that they were unschooled, ordinary men, they were astonished and they took note that these men had been with Jesus.” Prime Time Crime Next Week at Majestic Prime Time Crime is an uproarious spoof which parodies television primetime crime fighters of the 70’s. Charlie's Devils, Kojacket, a Kung Soo Priest, and Tony Borrota (with Bruce the Buzzard) descend on Shropshire Manor tripping over each other as they vie to solve a humorously intricate mystery! A deadly plot is unfolding and the Shropshires are dropping at an alarming rate. The mysterious Phantom haunts the halls inflicting murderous mayhem. Don’t miss this side-splitting tale as our crime fighters search for the Phantom! This play is put on by the Santiam Christian Junior Players, a group comprised of 7th-9th grade students who are directed and mentored by SC high school students. The performances will run at 7 p.m. on January 29 – 31 at the Majestic Theatre in downtown Corvallis.
