“Bethel Sings,” the fall showcase of choral music at Bethel, will feature a variety of composers – mostly American – and languages, on Sunday, Nov. 5, at 4 p.m.

Dr. Henry S. Waters is director of choral music at Bethel. He has titled the program “‘To sit and learn about the world.’ – Langston Hughes: Music Exploring American Identity.”

The concert features all large and small Bethel choral ensembles and will be held in Bethel College Mennonite Church, North Newton. It is free and open to the public.

Karen Robu's original play “Suffering Church” will be staged Monday, April 11, at 7 p.m. in Krehbiel Auditorium in Luyken Fine Arts Center.

Most people who recognize Robu’s name do so because she has been a fixture in Wichita theater for almost 30 years.

But Robu is also a full-time associate minister for Plymouth Congregational Church in Wichita and part-time assistant professor of communication arts and director of theater at Bethel College, who just completed a Doctor of Ministry degree at Phillips Theological Seminary in Tulsa, Okla.
