120 Year Celebration

 

The 120 Year Celebration activities are complete. It has been a time of remembering and rejoicing.

But now, we must move ahead. So, don't set aside the past; learn from it and move on that there may be a similar celebration in another 120 years should Jesus tary. And thanks to all who made this celebration possible - especially to its chair, Ron Snowbarger. Praise be to God!

Lord, Is It I?

2013 Edition Is Completed

Year number 11 of our presentation "Lord, Is It I?" is "in the can". Once again God has blessed us. Over 350 people total attended the two presentations at Gila Mountain United Methodist Church and First Church.

This drama uses the famous "Last Supper" painting by Leonardo daVince as a backdrop. Each of the 13 characters at the table holds his pose for the entire presentation while each of the disciples, one at a time, moves to the front of that backdrop and shares of their relationship with Jesus. Following the monologues, communion is shared in silence with the congregation as they leave the building. The enitre evening is wrapped in silence as nothing is said, played or sung with the exception of the disciples comments. The silence is most powerful.

If you haven't experienced this as First Church presents it, you owe it to yourself to look for it during the 2014 Lenten Season. Just keep your eye on this web site and we'll be announcing it so that you can make your plans.

The pictures shown above and on the "Lord, Is It I?" web page are of the 2013 presentation.  Please peruse them and enjoy the work that God has done through this cast. After seeing this drama, one attender said, "I didn't realize how much I'd forgotten about Jesus and His disciples. I need to get back to Bible Study." But of more importants than any of this, enjoy the fact that, through Jesus, we're guaranteed eternal life in His presence if we'll just believe on Him. Praise be to God!
