After doing
a whirlwind tour of Scandinavia, which produced an album, the band settled
in London, England. Michael and Mary were called on to aid in the script
writing of the multi-media rock musical called Lonesome Stone, which was
based on a song written by Michael.
This elaborate
production was staged at the famous Rainbow Theatre in London's west end.
Mary was
cast as the female lead in the production and garnered excellent reviews
from the English press.
One reviewer
stated that she had "true star quality."
Motherhood came calling and Michael and Mary returned to the United States for the birth of their first daughter, Elizabeth. Three more children were to follow and during the next 20 years, Mary would lead church worship, sing on request at various festivals and meetings, but her primary ministry remained with her family.
She has
never stopped ministering God's love through music, and now that the nest
is empty, Mary and Michael are ready to launch into as much music ministry
as God leads.
