If You Have the Drive, Make the Time -- "Following Your Passion"

I was reading an article recently about Following Your Passion”.  It was an interesting article, because it never mentioned serving God, performing theater, travel, or anything else about Covenant Players; and yet I saw so many similarities in how people can best approach joining Covenant Players.
Want-To.  How-To.  When-To.
Want-To.  A lot of people want to join Covenant Players.  We serve the Lord!  We travel!  And we do it all by performing plays!  We do full-time what many others are only able to do part-time, on weekends or holidays.  A lot of people have this drive, and this desire.  I assume that you do, because you are getting this letter!  That is great.  Desire and drive to explore, create, change are what make us unique and exciting. 
How-To.  You are taking some steps in how to join Covenant Players by getting our info, by meeting with our units.  Don’t forget the big picture!  You need to have a formal interview to join Covenant Players, and you need to fill out an application with three references.    We are happy to help you with any of the steps; just let us know where you need help!
When-To.  This is unfortunately where a lot of people can lose sight of their dreams and their desires.  If there is no set time, it can not actually happen.  It stays a dream for “some time.”  Choose when you will join Covenant Players.  Plan for it and make it real.  Is it now?  Is it as soon as you are finished with school?  Is it after your current job finishes?  Or is it “some time”?  Don’t let it slip away.
If you have the drive, make the time.  Contact us today, and let us know how we can help you join Covenant Players soon.
