Emmy-nominated actor Frank Runyeon brings scripture to life and talks about the tension between Hollywood and Christian living.

Holy Spirit Parish invites you to 410 Lear Road in Avon Lake as Emmy-nominated actor Frank Runyeon brings the Gospel of Luke to life on April 2 at 7:00 p.m.  The Sermon on the Mount will be shared on April 3 at 7:00 p.m.  The message on April 4 at 7:30 p.m. jumps to the 21st century and challenges the “Three Other Beatitudes” that the media thrust upon us.  All presentations are suitable for audiences of all ages.  A free-will offering will be taken.

Frank Runyeon has won national acclaim for his work as a translator and performer of Biblical texts. For more than 25 years, Frank has performed the gospel for hundreds of thousands of people in almost every state in America, earning rave reviews from critics, scholars, and church leaders of every denomination. He is regularly reviewed as “the best speaker we have ever heard” by students and faculty at private and public schools across the nation.

He is perhaps still best known, however, for his many roles on television. He starred for seven years as Steve Andropoulos on As the World Turns opposite Meg Ryan, a storyline that garnered the second-highest ratings in the history of daytime television. He next appeared for four years as Father Michael Donnelly on the Emmy award-winning Santa Barbara, and as tycoon Simon Romero on General Hospital, opposite Emma Samms. Frank has also guest starred in recurring roles on Falcon Crest as chess genius Jovan Dmytryk, on Melrose Place as Father Tom, on All My Children as Forrest Williams, and on L.A. LAW as talk-show host Brooks Tapman.
