Christmas Performances at
Steps of Faith: Dec. 12-17
Mark your calendar! Our Christmas performances will be the week of December 12-17th at Steps of Faith in our “Big” Room. After each performance we will have a small reception in the lobby. This is for all classes NOT participating in the Nativity (more on that below). We will not have normally scheduled classes that week.
You and your family are invited to come and watch a short performance by your dancer in the Studio Theatre, and then be part of a small reception! These performances are scheduled as below to allow working parents to come. Please note that space will still be at a premium, so please limit your number of guests. (Our Spring Concert is when you want to invite everyone!) Due to spacing constraints we will have more than one concert on show days. The exact times of your performance will be posted November 1st.
Christmas Performances:
Monday, Dec. 12 All Monday classes (Note: Both Ballet I classes are in The Nativity.)
Tuesday, Dec. 13 Tuesday afternoon classes
Wednesday, Dec. 14 All Wednesday classes (Note: Adv Mus Theatre not performing)
Thursday, Dec. 15 Thursday afternoon classes (Note: Thurs 3:30 BT performs on Sat)
Saturday, Dec. 17 Tuesday & Thursday morning classes, Thurs 330 BT, Fri HipHop, & Sat classes
Because the concerts are right around the corner, we do ask that you have your correct class leotard as soon as possible. (No later than performance day.) We want everyone to look uniform for all the candid picture taking you all will be doing!!!
The Nativity at The Grand Theatre
December 17 &18
Plan to join us! As Steps of Faith Dance Company presents: The Nativity, December 17 & 18th at The Grand Theatre. Both Ballet I classes (Mon 4 & Mon 7) will be participating in The Nativity and will not have the in-studio performances, due to their involvement in the Nativity that week. These classes will have several dress rehearsals at the Grand between Monday Dec. 12 and Friday Dec. 16. We will have dress rehearsal times for you by the first of November. Because they will not have an “in studio” performance and reception, Ballet I dancers in The Nativity will be invited to the Cast Party after the Sunday show. Look for more details on how to purchase tickets.
Thank you all for your participation and dedication to our studio and ministry here. We appreciate all of you! Please contact me or Ms. Tonya with any questions…. sof@bellsouth.net or 770-606-0506.
Yard Work Day
At
Steps of FaithYou have probably noticed that the drought has claimed many of our plants. That is why we have planned a day to work on our landscape. And we need many hands to help us out! Our Yard Day will be Saturday, October 22. Mark your calendar!! Some of our goals for the day are: replace plants, do some transplanting, mulch, tie down our trees, and pull weeds. Not only do we need volunteers, but we also need yard tools, too. Please bring rakes, shovels, wheel barrels, & etc. We want to buy our mulch in bulk from a landscape supply. If you own a truck and would be willing to pick up mulch for us, please let Ms. Tonya know. The Volunteer Sign Up Sheet will be posted on bulletin board in the lobby. As I am typing this, I remember all the families that helped us plant trees & lay sod last year. We could not have done it with out everyone of you helping. Thank you in advance!!!

T-shirt, everyone? By now all SOF dancers should have received their tee shirts. If you have not gotten your shirt let Ms. Tonya know ASAP. Extras will be on sale Oct. 15th for $10 each!!
Have you ever been cold and not have a coat to keep you warm?Most of us have never been in that situation. Matter of fact, a lot of us probably have a couple of coats in our closet. But, there are many in our midst that do not have a coat or blanket to keep them warm in the cold months. Freedom Worship Center of Cassville is teaming up with many other organizations (SOF included) in the Cartersville Community for a coat and blanket drive. You will notice a box in the lobby to collect new or gently used coats and blankets. We are collecting coats for every member of the family so, all sizes are needed for children, men and women. These coats and blankets will be passed out the day before Thanksgiving at the old Cartersville Civic Center. Along with the coat and blanket drive, they will also be serving Thanksgiving dinner. If you could check your closet, or if you want to purchase a coat to donate, please put it in our box. I know the person who will wear that coat this winter will thank God for your effort. Pray that we will be able to donate many coats & blankets to the cold of Bartow County!!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!To everyone who helped in any way with our first ever Fall Festival. And to Miss Mary for all your time organizing and promoting this SOF event...Thank you! We appreciate you!
And of course to all the volunteers, YOU are the best! Steps of Faith is who she is because of all the AWESOME volunteers God has blessed her with!
TOYS FOR TOTS and SOF:We are excited to announce our fall – winter “mission” in Cartersville. As most of you know, Steps of Faith has been to Norway, New York, and more recently, Trinidad spreading God’s word through dance and hand’s on mission work. Going abroad is important, but it is also important to spread our good work locally. This year, we are going to work with the Toys for Tots Program, which collects new and unwrapped toys during mid October to December time frame. Volunteer opportunities abound to collect, sort, and distribute the toys to needy families in Bartow County. If you cannot volunteer, you can bring in an unwrapped toy for a child (age 0 – 18 yrs) and place in the designated box in the studio. Sign-up sheets for volunteers will be posted later. Any questions, please contact Nancy Miller at nemiller@mindspring.com Thanks in advance!!!
