The History of Herald Biblical Theatrical Group
In the 60's, JoAnn Havrilko was searching spiritually for what God wanted her to do in her life.
At a Christian retreat center a word of prophecy was spoken to her about a ministry of music.
She formed a Christian singing duet, Glory Road, and began singing in churches by invitation.
Whenever she heard the music from Dallas Holm's "His Last Days" she would cry not knowing why.
Years passed by and when an opportunity arose in 1985, she approached Father Edward McElduff
at St. Nicholas' Church in Walnutport, PA about presenting a choral of "His Last Days".
An invitation went out to the congregation for singers and helpers then was extended to Hope Lutheran Church in Cherryville, Pa.. That year Herald was born with two performances - one at each church. The name came about during a newspaper interview about the show and Herald was used because the group proclaims God's Good News. The group was invited to other churches and thus began a ministry using music, dance and acting to bring Jesus to all who will come.
Herald performs "His Last Days" every Spring season averaging 10-12 shows with bookings up to two years in advance. Herald will be celebrating 27 years of ministry in 2012. The group is inter-denominational and family orientated with all ages.
Anyone is invited to join who has a strong desire and commitment to serve the Lord. There are many areas of ministry: singing, music, props (driving the prop truck), set design, makeup, costume sewing, audio, lighting, publicity. The cast of Herald wishes to thank you for visiting the website and
"The LORD bless you and keep you; the LORD make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you;
the LORD turn his face toward you and give you peace."'
(Num. 6:24-26 NIV)
