Living Last Supper Holy Week 2017

First Lutheran Church presents “The Living Last Supper”, a chancel drama, three times during Holy Week: Palm Sunday, April 9; Wednesday, April 12; and Maundy Thursday, April 13. Each presentation begins at 7:00 pm.

The Living Last Supper reviews the night Jesus Christ was betrayed from the perspective of Jesus’ twelve disciples. With references to the Biblical narratives and ancient church traditions, twelve brief monlogues explore each disciple’s thoughts and emotions. Each disciple shares his own experiences with Jesus as he ponders if he could be the one to betray his master.

The presentation ends each night with an invitation to receive Holy Communion. Communion at First Lutheran is always open to all God’s people, regardless of church background. (Young children may come forward to receive a blessing.)

Thirteen men from First Lutheran Church present this drama, supported by many men and women working on costumes, sound, lighting, and refreshments.

We pray that this drama will help you better see how Jesus changed the lives of ordinary people and worked through those ordinary people to change the world.
