Meanwhile, Steel Lake Presbyterian Church, recognized as the first church of Federal Way, will hold a Service of Celebration from 2-4 p.m. as the church prepares for its dissolution at the end of 2026, marking nearly 80 years of history in the city. The church is located at 2415 S 320th St.
Centerstage Theatre's production of 'The Legend of Sleepy Hollow' invites audiences to experience a suspenseful adaptation of Washington Irving’s tale. The show, rated PG-13 for suspense and occasional frights, focuses on newcomer schoolteacher Ichabod Crane's encounters with local superstitions and the possibility of the vengeful Headless Horseman.
