*******Royal Invitation******* Deaf Churches and Ministries Invites you to Lord's Supper with Jesus at Deaf Life Church in Saint Paul on Saturday, April 26th, 2025 at 1pm. Join us for a Powerful and Immersive Evening that brings Biblical Truth to Life through Drama, Worship, and Tradition. This Evening is more than just a performance -- It is a Call to Repentance, Preparation, and Joyful Expectation for the Return of Christ. A night of Divine Encounters This Special Play will include - 1.) The Lord's Supper - Experience a movinng reenachtment of Jesus's Last Supper with His disciples. This moment was more than just a meal; it was a declaration of the New Convenant -- a call to repentance, a reminder of Christ's sacrifice, and an invitation to partake in His eternal Kingdom. Jesus gave his disciples the bread, representing His body broken for us, and the cup, symbolizing His Blood shed for the forgiveness of sins. Through this act, He not only revealed His coming sacrifice but also emphasized the need to examine our hearts, repent and prepare for His return. 2:) The Parable of the Five Wise and Five Foolish Virgins -- A Call to Preparedness This parable (Matthew 25:1-13) illustrates the urgency of being prepared for Christ's return. The Five Wise Virgins carried extra oil symbolizing their preparedness, faithfulnes and Spiritual Preparedness. The Five Foolish Virgins , however were unprepared and missed the arrival of the Bridegroom. Just as the Lord's Supper reminds us to examine our hearts, this parable warns us that salvation is not about religious ritual but about an active, personal relationship with Christ. Those who are Spiritually prepared -- living in faith, obeidence, and repentance-- will enter the Wedding Feast with the Bridegroom (Jesus) while those who are not will be left outside. 3.) The Heavenly Chorus - The Angels Sing Following the plays, we will experience a Heavenly Chorus , where Angels sing in praise as we enter Heaven, joining Jesus at the Wedding Feast of the Lamb. This powerful moment represents the ultimate fulfillment of God's promise -- that those who are ready will celebrate eternally in His presence. The Angel's song symbolizes the joy if Heaven and the triumphant victory of Christ's return. 4.) Invitation to Salvation: Call to Examine the Heart. Come Experience prayer, reflection and Renewal with the Holy Spirit. The Evening will include a powerful play highlighting the Lord's Supper and the Parable of the Ten Virgins - The Wise and The Foolish. Through this, Mark Abercrobie will deliver a salvation message , helping you reflect on whether you are a wise or foolish virgin, and guiding you toward a deeper connetion with Christ. Dont miss this opportunity for healing, renewal, and salvation! 5.) T he Passover Seder Presentation - Understanding the Biblical Feast The Sorenson's Family will guide us through the P assover Seder , an ancient tradition that Jesus Himself observed. Every element of the Seder meal points to Christ as the perfect Passover Lamb , who took away the sins of the world. Through this, we gain deeper understanding of how Jesus fulfilled prophecy and provided salvation through his sacrifice. 6.) Heavenly Feast Dinner - Feast with Bridegroom (Jesus) After experiencing the richness of the Passover Seder, we will continue in fellowship with a Heavenly Feast Dinner , celebrating the joy of salvation and the promise of Christ's return. 7.) Dressed for the Feast: A Heavenly Celebration We invite you to come dressed in whatever you imagine wearing in Heaven!!! Whether its a fun dress, formal attire, vibrant colors, pearls, diamonds, jewelry, a crown, or even a Wedding Dress-- let you imagination shine as we celebrate together in style!

Engineer Trishara Malik once dreamed of being the first woman of color to smash the glass ceiling at WMC Purcell, but after years of dealing with white male privilege and blatant nepotism, she watches her hard-earned promotion go to her nemesis, Rafe Gallagher—the boss’s son. Teetering on the edge of burnout, Tris is stunned when she’s picked to attend WMC's corporate leadership retreat in Hawaii. It’s a chance to revive her stalled career and compete for a coveted spot in an executive training program—plus, three weeks in paradise! The only downside? Rafe is her co-attendee. Tris plans to avoid Rafe entirely, but when she arrives in Maui, a booking error has them stuck sharing the honeymoon suite. Sure, it’s not all torture. Rafe is a smoldering ten—okay fine, an eleven—but after years of competition, they can barely stand being in the same time zone. As they vie against each other during aptitude tests and team-building exercises, Tris begins to realize Rafe might not be the villain after all. With her dreams at stake, can she learn to trust the man who might have been standing in her corner all along? * * * About the authors: Nisha J. Tuli is an Amazon Top 50 and International Bestselling author whose books feature kick-ass heroines, swoony love interests, and slow burns with plenty of heat.

Kimberly Lemming is a USA Today bestselling author who is on an eternal quest to avoid her calling as a main character. She can be found giving the slip to that new werewolf that just blew into town and refusing to make eye contact with a prince of a far-off land. But when she’s not running from fate, she can be found writing diverse fantasy romance. Or just shoveling chocolate in her maw until she passes out on the couch. *** Event conversation will be followed by signing with both Nisha and Kimberly. Your ticket comes with a copy of NOT SAFE FOR WORK. You are welcome to bring copies of the authors' other books from home, and limited additional copies of the authors' titles will also be available for purchase on-site.

We’ve been sold a story: graduate, go to college, land the dream job. But for many students (and their parents), the path forward doesn’t feel that simple—or that clear. This workshop is for families navigating that in-between space, where doubt, pressure, and possibilities all live at once. Led by Maxine Denis, founder of Find Telos —and a self-proclaimed reformed shithead kid who had no clue what they were doing—this workshop is designed to spark real conversations and open up new ways of thinking. Through guided reflection, hands-on activities, and shared stories, we’ll explore what it means to build a meaningful life (even if it doesn’t follow the “traditional” script). Snacks and refreshments provided. Come to MHC 101 ready to think, talk, question, and maybe even laugh a little. Because life isn’t a straight line—and that’s what makes it interesting.
