82 Thrivent Chapter members and guests enjoyed a very well done performance of The Living Word Outdoor Drama in Cambridge, Ohio on Saturday evening, August 13th. 47 members and guests from the Licking-Knox Thrivent Chapter joined us also. The weather was excellent, and the Crucifixtion Scene was punctuated with real lightning and thunder. The rains came about 30 minutes after the performance ended. If you have not been to this presentation for awhile or ever, you are missing something inspiring.
