No Greater Love Easter Play
About "No Greater Love" |
||
| The No Greater Love (NGL) Easter Play has been held every year since 1998. It was originally held as a drive-through presentation. NGL was originally created from Samaria's desire to give a gift of love and spread the good news of Jesus Chrsit to the community. We began planning in 1996 and started building scenes, including the scenes of Jesus entering the city, Jesus praying at the rock, Jesus in the courtyard, Jesus on the cross, and Jesus at the empty tomb. It was clear that NGL would require the committment and support of all members of Samaria. The first presentation of NGL had 90 actors and a 14-person support staff (police officers to direct traffic, food preparation volunteers, electrical/technical volunteers, costume designers, and admission and exit staff). NGL has changed over the years: In 2001, we added the Lord's Supper scene, and in 2002 NGL became a walk-through presentation with shepherds guiding groups through the streets of Jerusalem (drive-through for the handicapped is still available). We also added the marketplace, where members of Samaria showcase crafts and activities, and where groups can gather. In 2005, we had 130 participants. Although the presentation has changed, our mission remains the same: To tell the good news of Jesus Christ. Our members enjoy working on this living Easter play, as it is a unique and fun way to reach out to the community and tell the story of Jesus. | ||
