Volleyball Team Finishes Season as Minnesota Class A Runner-Up!

Congratulations to the Crusader girls volleyball team for their second place finish in Class A at the MN State Volleyball Tournament! The Crusaders lost a hard-fought match in five sets to the Minneota Vikings, the team they defeated last year to capture the state title. After falling in the first two sets, the Crusaders fought back to win sets three and four and force a set five. What a great season for Coach Grimsley, Coach Gesch, and the team! To God all Praise and Glory!

MLHS Fall Play Opens Friday, November 18!

Get your tickets at mayerlutheran.org/tickets/.

Sales for dinner+show tickets have closed, but show+dessert tickets are still available. Reserved seating is available online until the day before a performance, and then general admission tickets will be available at the door.

Join your host, Miss Penelope Chrysler-Michelin, as she presents her proven, fifteen-step process on how to host a murder mystery dinner party. To guide you through the presentation, Miss Penelope has planned her own murder mystery dinner party to play out onstage. She’ll take you through all the most important steps, such as “Setting the Scene,” “Choosing Your Mark,” “Establishing Motive,” and more.  

Of course, her guest list has been carefully selected to make sure the very best mix of suspicious characters are present — The Celebrity, The Writer, The Doctor, The Ladykiller. But like any good murder mystery, the weather worsens, and the plot thickens when there is an unexpected visitor on the dark and stormy night. Good thing Miss Penelope has thought of everything, including Step Eight: “Always Have a Backup Plan.”  

With a different ending for each performance, this light-hearted look at a murder mystery will have you guessing “whodunit” and laughing at the antics of Miss Penelope’s guests. You won’t want to miss it!

Reserved tickets are available for purchase online up until the day before the show at mayerlutheran.org/tickets/. Show + dessert tickets are $15 for adults and $10 for children 12 and under. The day of the show, general admission tickets will be available at the door.

Dinner is served at 6 PM on Friday and Saturday and 1 PM on Sunday. Performance times are 7 PM on Friday and Saturday and 2 PM on Sunday.
