After a very sleepless night…on 2nd April ‘Good Friday – a Community play’ took place in the centre of Wokingham! I’ve never felt so privileged or been so proud to be part of anything. Over the last 5 months hours and hours and hours of work, sweat and tears… actual tears… went into putting together this performance and in God’s faithfulness it was a success! Apart from the torrential rain and a few hiccups from the mic’s we couldn’t have asked for anything better. About 100 people aged from 8 to 70 turned up to act, sing or dance and together tell the story if Jesus’ life, death and resurrection in the centre of Wokingham.
It was amazingly exciting to be able to use drama to bring such a cross section of a community together to perform. To see friendships forming, and understanding of Jesus’ life growing… lots of excited noises were made!!! I’m so blessed to have the opportunity to do this as a job. God is so good.
This verse struck me and inspired me through-out the final days of our rehearsals:

“…with a mighty hand and outstretched arm; His love endures forever.” Psalm 136:12 (the Bible)

God coming to earth in humanity: living, loving, building relationships, showing compassion and going to the cross so that we might live. Stretching out his arms showing love like no one else ever has….
