Pyrotechnic effects, ghoulish costuming, and horrific images make for a chilling Motor CityHalloween tradition at Greater Grace. This is the 11th year for the "longest running" Halloween presentation in Detroit.
DETROIT, Oct. 15 /PRNewswire/ -- Call it intense, unnerving, frightening, yet compelling. That's "TO HELL & BACK," presented "LIVE" onstage at Greater Grace Temple in Detroit, October 29th and 31st, 2008. Start time is 7:00pm each night. (Doors open at 6:00pm) The public is invited to join Bishop Charles H. Ellis III and the GGT Performing Arts Ministry for this chilling presentation about the one place you don't ever want to go: HELL! ADMISSION IS FREE!!!
Over the years, the church has gained a "national" reputation for its elaborate "illustrated sermons," where drama and the gospel are a powerful mix. "To Hell and Back" has been seen by thousands over the last 11 years, and has been broadcast coast to coast on The Word Network. More than 80 cast members and stage crew will use pyrotechnic effects, professional costuming and make-up, and eerie lighting to make this fright-filled presentation seem all too real.
TO HELL AND BACK begins with a stoic angel who leads Bishop Ellis thru the dark caverns of the damned. Their testimonies of "what could have been" and unending pain amid a hopeless oblivion are food for some very deep thought. The message of each one is clear: "Don't come here!"
In recent years, the crowds flowed out of GGT's 4000-seat cathedral into its huge hallways, and it was standing room only at that point. Even with two presentations in 2007, overflow crowds are expected, especially Friday night. For video previews and more info, visit the church's website at www.greatergrace.org or call 313-543-6000. Greater Grace Temple is located at 23500 W. Seven Mile Road in Detroit, MI.
