John Davenport is a third-generation circus performer and along with his brother Jairo have created the “Great Benjamins Circus,” a traditional circus that offers amazing acts of international quality while being true to the traditional circus roots. Great Benjamins Circus and its caravans travel to the four corners of North America; from Florida to California, Alaska to Newfoundland / Labrador.

We offer a rich and sincere circus experience. Much more than an entertainment organization, we present ourselves as being a symbol of respect and education towards all cultures. We are an ambassador of multiculturalism and have a great appreciation for performance art. Join our family for 90 minutes of entertainment and experience 90 minutes of energy, beauty, and excitement.

Wonderful World is a play by Richard Dresser that revolves around a close-knit family who is shaken to its core when a minor misunderstanding spirals out of control.

An ambiguously worded dinner invitation triggers hurt feelings and a scorched earth policy of truth telling.

Loyalties shift and relationships are ruthlessly examined, causing family members to confront forbidden sexual attraction, long-ago affairs, debilitating illness, and, finally, a reconfigured family.

The play probes the subterranean forces that nearly tear the family apart, and the mysterious bonds that ultimately hold it together.

Join us for Hafli, our church’s vibrant Lebanese food festival and fundraiser, where tradition and community come together in a celebration of culture and flavor.

Hafli translates to “party” and we deliver that atmosphere! Experience an array of authentic Lebanese dishes, from succulent cabbage rolls to flaky baklawa, all prepared with care and love by our dedicated volunteers.

Hafli is not just a delicious culinary experience; it supports our church's programs and outreach efforts. Come share in the joy, taste the heritage, and help us make a positive impact in our community. We look forward to welcoming you!
