Keep your eyes on Jesus, who both began and finished this race we're in. Study how he did it. Because he never lost sight of where he was headed - that exhilarating finish in and with God - he could put up with anything along the way: Cross, shame, whatever. And now he's there, in the place of honor, right alongside God.
Hebrews 12:2 The Message

Day Trip to The Wilds Wildlife Conservation Center, Cumberland, Ohio
and Hartstone Pottery, Zanesville, Ohio
Date: Wednesday, September 3, 2008

The Wilds is North America's largest conservation facility, spanning nearly 14 square miles. Threatened and endangered animals from all over the world - rhinos, giraffes, antelope and now cheetahs - live in mixed-species groups, roaming expansive natural habitats. |
Join us on a deluxe motor coach trip through The Wilds where we'll see these exotic animals from the comfort of our bus while learning about their efforts in preserving God's great creation. We'll enjoy a box-style lunch at the Overlook Cafe, which has a panoramic view from one of the highest points in Muskingum County. After our tour and lunch, we'll spend some time in their Gift Market.
Our afternoon will be spent at Hartstone Pottery in Zanesville, where we'll receive a guided tour of some of America's very last artisan potters hand-crafting and hand-decorating quality stoneware. Pick up a one-of-a- kind gift in their 20,000 square foot retail store, which sells pottery, wrought iron, candles, and the very best foods from Ohio and beyond!

Show Description: The story of the real Santa Claus, Miracle on 34th Street is one of the most beloved holiday films of all time, and one of the most popular shows LaComedia has ever produced. Macy's thinks they have hired the perfect Santa for the holiday season. However, problems arise when the man named Kris Kringle claims he is the real Santa Claus and tells customers they can find better deals elsewhere. This touching musical version of the classis holiday film proves that miracles do happen and is sure to fill both the young and the young at heart with the Christmas spirit.
