Happy Tuesday all. Hope the week has started well for you. There are a couple of weeks left of the official connect groups (although I’m sure some may continue). I have had some lovely feedback from various hosts.
A few people will be meeting on the last Wednesday of each month for an hour, from 10am to 11am to give the church hall a tidy and clean. If you would like to help, come along this Wednesday – 29th March – or come earlier for the café beforehand.
On Maundy Thursday evening at 7:30pm we will be hosting The People’s Passion. It is a 45-minute play with the congregation as the cast where we will gather in the church to bring the Easter story to life. A small group, assisted by a member of the Riding Lights team, will lead everyone in a powerful act of theatre and worship, reading in chorus from one projected script to paint a vivid picture of Jesus’ last week before the crucifixion. There is music and some moments of reflection.
Apart from a few characters (including Jesus and a narrator), all the dialogue is read by the congregation. They are divided into six groups and together, reading from a projected script, they play all the characters, a chorus of voices in unison taking us from the noisy crowd cheering Jesus on his entry into Jerusalem, to Calvary and through the moving drama of the crucifixion.
