2nd Baptist Hits the Mark with Take Me to the King

2nd Baptist Church of Frankford

The Christmas production of Take Me to the King at 2nd Baptist ran last Friday and Saturday. Once again they brought a great community theater experience to Frankford to a full house each night. The original play was written by Dottie Bradsbery and Debbie Jackson and performed by an ensemble cast. The story would ring a bell with those in any church large or small.

Mayella Covington, played by Yolanda Abner, is a force to be reckoned with in the church and she eventually finds her day of reckoning.  It is a serious story told with humor and a good dose of music.

We have some highlights along with the all the credits for the production on our YouTube page which you can get at this link.  It runs about 14 minutes and is just a sample of what you might find next time at the 2nd Baptist Church.

Flying Kite on the Ground in Frankford

Flying Kite Media hit the ground running in Frankford in October and quickly mounted two events at their Frankford headquarters at St. Marks.

Partnering with the Mural Arts project, they cosponsored a community paint day which once again gave residents the opportunity to get their hands on some paint brushes to work on the murals that will be displayed at various locations in Frankford.  That was back on November 8th.  At the same time, an art exhibition opened.  You can follow this link to see the artists and a description of their work.

On November 10th, Flying Kite sponsored the first Frankford Fall Music and Arts Festival.  Food, beer music, vendors and art sounds like a winning combination.  The crowd far exceeded my expectations and the interesting thing is that they were not residents of Frankford.  People from all over the city and beyond trekked to Frankford on a Saturday night to see what was happening here.

You can follow this link for a slideshow of the event. Stay tuned for something equally awesome coming up at St. Marks on December 15th.
