NEWS ARCHIVE FEBRUARY
2000 Late in 1999, Normandy Christian Church
purchased a 15-passenger van. Since DIM is a Normandy-sponsored
ministry, we will be able to transport the group to functions like
the parade, or up to PSCC for our presentations at the
college.
To help defray the cost of purchasing the van, DIM
members have written and prepared an hour long set of comedy sketches to
perform at a fundraiser potluck on Sunday, March 5. The potluck is a joint partnership with the
church’s Social Team, and the theme is “Fun Food.” The potluck will be in the church social hall
at 5:30 PM , with the comedy
presentation to follow.
All DIM supporters are invited to bring a
fun food item to the potluck, and then offer a free-will donation
for the comedy program.
Sketches prepared for the event
include:
¨
If Men Did Direct Sales. See
what happens when men gather to buy Tupperware.
¨
Ananias and Sapphira at Home.
See the infamous duo haplessly
prepare their famous deception.
¨
The Fishless Fishermen. A scathing news report on a bunch
of do-nothing bureaucrats.
¨
Sam ‘n’ Ella Sings! Country stars Sam ‘n’ Ella
make their local debut.
¨ Revelation! See stars from Chi Rho II, The Assignment, featured
on this mock game show.
Can’t
attend the fundraiser, but would like to help anyway? Send your check to Normandy Christian Church,
908 S. 200th St., Des Moines, WA
98198. Mark
the check for “DIM Van.”
Chi Rho
II to Share
PSCC Stage
 Last fall’s popular followup to DIM’s original
production of The Chi Rho
Files: Investigations of the Unorthodox will also enjoy a revival on the
Puget Sound Christian College (PSCC) stage.
As Investigations shared a
double bill with Christ in the Concrete
City last fall, this spring finds The
Assignment on a double bill with the PSCC student production of The Terrible Meek, from March 10-18.
Come support the students at PSCC, and
catch the second installment of the Chi Rho Serial
drama!

Fuller
Broader Program Plans for ‘00
For the first time in five
years, DIM conducted full scale long-range planning meetings this January. In addition to affirming the original vision
for the organization, which is dedicated to bringing believers to richer
relationship with their Lord, and applying the dramatic arts to study of the
Bible, the meetings brought a clearer focus to expanding the role of DIM within
the church and the community. In the coming year, look for the
following:
¨
Increased
partnership with other church ministries, in inventive new formats.
¨
Worship
drama teams, presenting sketch drama in conjunction with Sunday worship.
¨
A
return to staging full scale theatrical dramas.
This year, look for The Sign of
Jonah.
¨
Developing
and scripting scripture-based Biblical dramas, at this stage TBD.
¨
A
more organized presence in the Waterland festival,
particularly in the parade entry.
¨
Further
development of the Chi Rho serial drama.
