Play Ball! coming to First UMC June 26

Body
United Methodist Evangelist Mark Winter of One Man Show Ministries will be at First United Methodist Church of Terrell to present Play Ball, a humorous monologue with a message. Based on events in John 1:44-51, Play Ball updates the story of the disciple Nathaniel who wonders if “anything good can come out of Nazareth.” However, this sketch isn’t set in 1st century Israel, but in modern-day Texas—and Nathaniel becomes Nate, a Texas Rangers fan who realizes he needs to get into the game! Worship begins at 10:50 a.m.
