She was the only woman nominated in the category, and she was the only woman directing a musical on Broadway last season.

    Words to Live By

    Words to Live By Pam Strader January 12, 2020 Scripture: Micah 6: 2-8 It is wonderful to be back at College Park Baptist.  It is especially nice to preach at the Tessera service in the chapel space that you renovated.  A group from CPB came over to West Market Church to see how we had renovated our chapel in order to get ideas for your renovation.  And what a wonderful space it is!  It has been a while.  Too long.  You are my adopted congregation in Greensboro.  My family’s friendship with Michael and Ann Usey goes back to when Michael coached our daughter Mary Helen and their Hannah in soccer…
