Bits & Pieces:

WOW! HOO-BOY! YE-ESS!
March 16th Sunday Service.

If you missed it, you missed a doozy. you missed the presentation of "The Seven Last Words of Christ",the unfolding of events from Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem, His crucifixion, to His rising from the grave.

The choir, under the most capable direction of Carol Adams, was fantastic! Such power, such expression, such joy, as they flowed smoothly through the opening What if Sunday Had Not Come, to, Father Foqjive Them and In Christ Alone, after the first (Luke 23:34) and second (Luke 23:43) words of Christ, respectively.

Then came the Rays of Praise following the fourth word (John 19:26-27) with a beautiful, synchronized, interpretive enactment of Christ being nailed to the cross, accompanied by the song New Again, symbolic of sin being washed away by Christ's blood.

Rob Deal's rendition of I Stand Reddeemed (after sixlh word, John 19:30) was nothing short of sensational.... explosive!

Story's out that they did an artful job. That's it. As Ed Sullivan used to say, "....A real-ly big `shew'." p.s.: The writer missed the April Flame deadline by "that much." Third word: Mark 15:34, Fifth Word:John 19:28, Seventh Word: Luke 23:46.
