60 Years of Memories

Spreading the Good News Musically

By Michele Becker

Lyle and I fondly recall the musicals our parish put on for not only the parishioners, but the wider Green Bay community, beginning in 1998 and continuing to 2014. These parish musicals were “Song of Mark,” “Feast of Life,” “AGAPE,” and “Tales of Wonder,” all by Marty Haugen.

There were adult, youth, and children’s choirs, an instrumental combo, lots of backstage help with creating props and anything we asked for. Around 100 people participated in the musicals each time, from ages four to 99.

These musicals bonded us closer to Christ, and to one another. The songs stayed with us throughout the years, and we still sing many of them today. We spread the Good News far and wide. We are grateful!

Lyle and Michele Becker have been members of Resurrection Parish since 1981.

Haikus

Members of the 2023 Resurrection confirmation class and their sponsors wrote haikus as part of their preparations to receive the sacrament. 

Haikus are a type of unrhymed, three-line Japanese, 17-syllable poetry dating back to the 17th century. The first and third lines of a haiku each have five syllables. The second line has seven. 

I come as I am.

Embrace me with your fire.

Unite with love.  

—Brynn Nelson

May the gust of fire

And the oil of salvation

Guide you to your home. 

—Fr. Jordan
