The grownups lead weekly Bible studies, help plan missionary trips and monitor the high schoolers' emotional and spiritual well-being with frequent phone calls and face-to-face encounters outside of church. Since Reed's overhaul six years ago, the total youth rolls--including the reconstituted Sunday school and college programs--have grown from 70 to more than 200. In 2003, a record 64 teens accepted Christ as their savior at Calvary...

The other count against the performance of the Adagio was no fault of the orchestra’s, but rather that of a moronic concertgoer, whose vibrating phone ruined the impact of the climactic grand pause. However, listening to the Adagio for Strings is always a moving experience, and the melody was articulated convincingly by the orchestra’s strong viola section. From the first funereal strains of the Mendelssohn symphony, it was clear that the orchestra?...
