Dove Singers History
2009 - "The Sacrifice"
With fresh new ideas, The Sacrifice looked through the eyes of several followers of Jesus (The Centurion, Peter, Caiaphas, Pilate, Mary Magdalene and Mary, the mother of Jesus), witnessing their insights and emotion. The audience experienced a moving and dramatic story of the first-hand remembrances of the death and resurrection of Jesus, and gained a powerful personal perspective on the redeeming sacrifice Jesus paid for us. We had 114 participants from more than 45 churches.
2008 - "The Torch Is Passed"
"The Torch is Passed" had 130 participants, representing over 50 area churches. Based on Deuteronomy 4:9 - “…watch yourselves closely so that you do not forget the things your eyes have seen or let them slip from your heart as long as you live. Teach them to your children and to their children after them.” Thus the Gospel of Jesus Christ is passed on from generation to generation.
2007 - "On A Hill Too Far Away"
Our 30th Anniversary production had 107 participants, representing 43 area churches. It was a tremendous blessing to all the Doves this year. This was a repeat of the 2002 production. We have listening CDs available.
2006 - "Eyes of Faith"
A new musical for us, it was a tremendous time of glorifying or Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. For 2006, we had 135 people from a record 50 different churches!
2005 - "It is Finished!"
A repeat of the 2000 Dove Singers, this production consisted of 140 people, representing 35 churches. It was a Spirit-filled year, with many people putting their faith in Christ for the first time.
2004 - "Bow the Knee"
Our 27th production consisted of 140 people representing more than 40 different
churches. This was our most ambitious project ever!
2003 - "The Borrowed Tomb"
Our 26th production consisted of 145 people representing more than 45 different
churches. Drama and dance were major foci of the production.
2002 - "On A Hill Too Far Away"
Our 25th Anniversary production had over 170 participants, representing more
than 40 area churches. We also invited previous Dove Singers to join us for
the finale of the show and to sing our theme song, "Undivided."
Over 20 previous Dove Singers returned from New Hampshire, Maine and Vermont
and from as far away as Pennsylvania and Texas to celebrate our silver anniversary
production.
2001 - "Alone On the Altar"
This production represented a major growth year, with 147 participants (60
of them first-time members of the group), representing 44 different churches.
The highlight of this production was the entire cast walking "Through
the Torn Curtain."
2000 - "It Is Finished"
This production consisted of 120 people, representing 33 churches. It was
also a year marked with several strange occurrences for group members, including
a cancer diagnosis, a house fire, a broken ankle and Gayle's surgery. Through
it all, God truly showed his presence to the group.
1999 - "Who Will Call Him King of Kings"
1998 - "The Christ, the Cross, the Crown"
This production consisted of 139 members, representing 41 different churches.
The musical was a very serious and somber look at Jesus' final days on earth.

Sisk and Gayle Troy - as well as a very moving dance interpretation of "No
Cross, No Crown" by Cheryl Holbert, and found the cast answering "The
Call of Christ."
