Oakwood Park announces upcoming events

Oakwood Park, located on Lake Wawasee, in northern Indiana is a center for family vacations, church camps, conferences and retreats.
Several special events have been planned during the Spring months and are open to the public. On Feb. 20, a Sweet Heart Banquet is scheduled with a buffet dinner and a program by the Crimsonaires of Goshen High School.

The Lakes Area Players will present Christ's Passion this Lent. Christ's Passion tells the story of Jesus Christ but with a different set, a different script and different music that has been previously used. This is only the second year for this performance. "Simon of Cyrene and his two young sons come to Jerusalem to celebrate the Passover feast and to see the young prophet Jesus. Soon the mood turns dark and the very people who have worshipped Him are now calling for Him to be crucified!" Performances are scheduled for 7 p.m., March 30, 31, April 1, 5, 6, 7 with matinees on March 31 and April 7. Tickets are $10, general admission; $8 children K-12, seniors over 60 and groups of 10 or more.

On April 20, Kathy Troccoli will be in-concert in the Program Center. Her personal convictions and faith are revealed in her music.

On July 1, the Ft. Wayne Philharmonic will present its annual patriotic concert on the lawn. Come, bring a lawn chair, and enjoy this truly unique evening at Oakwood.
