Prayer Please

Hello! Just wanted to take a minute of your reading time today and ask for a big favor. If you read my previous post, you know that this week is "show week" for CCS's Act I drama team. On Thursday night at 7, our team of high school students will open the fine arts season performing "Twelfth Night" and "Mulan: The Musical" for an audience in the school's gymnasium. Having been a part of Act I for 2 years now, I know all to well of the stress/fear/all around insanity that comes with the average show week. Its always interesting, to say the least...this year its even more intense though, because due to scheduling conflicts, our wonderful team is a week behind where we should be in regards to rehearsals. After a 9:00 to 6:30 rehearsal day yesterday, that fact was all to real- lines were dropped, blocking was messy, and the songs were off. Add costumes and sets...you have a bit of a mess. Now if there is anything I have realized, its that this kind of thing can come together at the LAST second and go off without a hitch. Even so, if you could be praying for our Act I team this week, it would be so appreciated. I strongly believe in the power of prayer- so every little bit helps!!! A couple of specifics: Pray for health! We have several kids that are under the weather right now. And from personal experience, there is nothing worse than having to perform when not feeling up to snuff...Also, pray for clarity, patience and calm of both the cast and the directors this week. Tensions tend to get a tad high at times. Lastly, pray for the 'newbies' on the team. We have a TON of them this year, and this week can alway be a bit hard for people who aren't used to it....Anyway, be thinking of us this week as we prepare to open. Act 1 will be at school every day this week till 10 pm rehearsing etc. to prepare. In the long run, this is all in preparation for competition in October. Being the only Christian school that goes, our team has a HUGE ministry opportunity through that weekend of competition. And thats what we're all about, which is why prayer is essential. Thanks in advance for your encouragement. And I'll try to keep you all updated as the week goes on!
