Dear Common Ground, Sponsors and Parents,
We feel extremely blessed by this year’s Common Ground season and tour. “Reign Down” was extraordinary program as we saw your gifts and talents unfold before our eyes!
We were at a ”Talent Peak” this year! The band was solid… possibly the best CG band we’ve worked with in 26 years! These guys have played together in The House Band which has helped them to sharpen their skills as well as work on playing in a band. A little “Rage Against the Machine” didn’t hurt either 
The Senior Class of ‘09 added a great deal of talent to the program this year with their solos: Erin, Julia, Aleya, Keith - Dramas: David, Julia, Mary Ellen, Robert, Aleya, Rachel and video talents: Kara & Julia.
The Drama Ministry was once again led by Jillian Cosgrave (CG alumni). Added to the writing team this year was Adam K. who wrote the Star Trek drama. The Video work, directed by Chris Larsen was exceptional this year!! The Star Trek video with custom backdrops for each church was an extra special touch. CSI Jerusalem had one of the most believable intros EVER!
This year’s Common Ground tour stands out as one of the most cooperative, talented and kind groups in all of our 26 years. Thank you to each of you, for your participation and support for this honorable ministry.
Thank you for the wonderful gift card to the Mountain Winery. We will enjoy an evening of sitting back and enjoying the music (without setting up sound or directing people). Special thanks to our adult sponsors as well as the Cunningham family for hosting the cast part at their house.
Lovingly, Tom and Rita Hoegel
P.S. Common Ground video program viewing is 7/15 6pm in the Fireside room. DVD’s will be available in August.
