Broadway Comes to Brewster Baptist
Sunday, November 17th, as part of our ongoing bicentennial celebration, sensational talent Jeff Kready will make his way to the Cape to share at Brewster Baptist Church – at both morning services and in a special evening program, sharing music with local talent.
Pastor Joe and Jeff were in youth choir, bell choir, and youth group together at First Baptist Church in Topeka, KS, between 1996 and 2000, touring the country, sharing music, and developing their artistic abilities and skills.
Pastor Joe is grateful that Jeff accepted the invitation to come share at BBC and for the support of our Bicentennial Committee in helping make the event possible.
If you’re at all interested in theatre, drama, music, or hearing about Jeff’s journey and sharing his gifts around the world, this event is for you! The program will feature classic hits and familiar favorites like “Amazing Grace,” “Over the Rainbow,” and “Bring Him Home.”
