More Than Just a Man

Last week, Todd and I participated in our first Easter drama, "More Than Just a Man" at Emmanuel Wesleyan Church. The drama depicted the events leading up to Christ's crucifixion in a whole new way for me. It showed the side of the Sanhedrin and how they plotted against Jesus and eventually sentenced Him to death. It was a powerful drama, and we had so much fun being a part of it.

Todd played the part of Peter, Jesus' disciple, and I was Mary, the mother of Jesus. Many of our friends at the church were involved, which made it all the more exciting. As you can see in the pictures, we were all decked out in our stylish clothing. Todd grew out his beard (which he has finally shaved, thank God) and I had the privilege of putting make-up on all the cast members. The men hated it at first but by the last night, they were lining up to me to have their make-up put on. It was so funny to see Mark and Todd with their cheeks all rosy :) We also have a man that brings in his animals for the church to use during the drama. He had chickens and goats, and he even brought a pony in for Jesus to ride on.

Several people were saved as a result of the drama, and I know many hearts were touched as well. We are so lucky to be a part of such a wonderful church. I thank God for the opportunities that He gives us to minister through our talents.
