Yes! GUY PENROD is coming to RAGTOWN!
This special concert will be November 5th at 7:00. You can call our toll free ticket line to purchase your tickets for that show right now. That number is 1-877-RAGTOWN.
I am pretty much beside myself about having Guy Penrod perform at Ragtown. We had a chance to meet him in Louisville in 2010, and started then talking about a date when he might come out. So many people around here know him and love him. Guy was born in Abilene and grew up in Hobbs. A lot of us have followed his career from the beginning, through 14 years with The Gaither Vocal Band, and now as he launches his solo career.
He is a genuinely nice man, with a true heart for God, and a kind of individualism that is refreshing amid gospel and the country artists. He is, and always has been his own man, with his own style and direction. I think everyone who comes will be amazed and inspired by his warmth, humility, and unfettered love for his Savior.
The first 5 rows will be Artist Circle seating, and will be $25. The remainder of the seating will be $20 each, and all seating is reserved. You will need to purchase your tickets in advance. I mentioned the concert at the last couple of performances of Mystery of the Hebrew Scribe, and the response we’ve already had makes me think this one is going to be an early sell-out. Call and get your tickets right away. It’s going to be great, I guarantee it. The band is jumping up and down about getting to open for Guy Penrod. Hope we can remember our words!
And then there’s the trip to Israel!
The opportunity just fell in our laps into take a group to Israel March 1-10 next year. It was one of those things that no one even had to think about, it seemed so perfect. We just said, “Okay, let’s do it!” A bunch of the Ragtown Troupe, including members of the Ragtown Gospel Band will be going, and we’re planning some special performances along the way. I can’t imagine anything better than seeing Israel with people we love…and you are in that group.
It is an all inclusive tour, covering airfare from Dallas, hotels, meals, and even gratuities. All we have to do is soak it all in, and come back home forever changed and connected to each other by sharing such a life-changing adventure. The cost is $3500 per person for 10 glorious days none of us will ever forget. So pray about joining us on our first Ragtown pilgrimage to the Holy Land.
Additional information will be posted on the site soon, but you can go to this website and get most of your questions answered right now.

And last, but certainly not least…
Our new Christmas play, “SAY NICKLAUS” begins November 9th. This play is dear to my heart. It has been stirring around in there for years, and this seemed to be the time to let it out. Glenn and our troupe of actors are already working on it, and the set-building has begun for our 21st Ragtown Gospel Theater production. Those who have read the script tell me it is going to be wonderful. I believe it just may be.
It is our first play that doesn’t take place in biblical times. It is a more contemporary story, that looks at our cherished Christmas traditions from a perspective that I hope will inspire us all to unabashedly savor this wonderful season of celebration openly and joyfully. And with complete freedom to look for ways to make this Christmas memorable for the children and loved ones in our life, with extravagant expressions of love and thankfulness for them. Sharing sweet times, wonderful food, special gifts and remembrances during Christmas…that’s God infusing us with love for His own children. We can’t let anybody take that away.
Bring the whole family to see “Say Nicklaus” November 9th through December 5th. Performances will be every weekend except Thanksgiving. You’ll leave ready to say, “Merry Christmas!” loud and clear to everyone you meet.
