中学 Musical Answers Deep Spiritual Questions
Participating in the 美术 may look different for students this school year, 但演出必须继续! 与新, innovative safeguards in place, Calvary Christian Academy’s 中学 Theatre students have been hard at work preparing a live musical for you 和 your family to enjoy. Mark your calendars for February 5-6 — Godspell小 is coming to CCA to share Jesus’ message of redemption, 同情, 和 love!
What if Jesus came to us face-to-face today? How would we respond to His call? What effect will His teaching 和 sacrifice have on our lives, our actions, 和 our world?
You’re invited to ponder these questions with me in a dazzling theatrical representation of the book of Matthew coming soon to the CCA Theatre.
When charged to select a musical that could be performed during a p和emic for my 中学 students, I quickly sensed that Godspell小 was the perfect choice. I love that the Gospel can be told through this musical in a fresh, new way that is both theatrical 和 heartfelt at the same time. The show’s theme of discipleship is also a great choice for us at Calvary Christian Academy, where our mission is to Make Disciples.
Go therefore 和 make disciples of all nations, immersing them in the name of the Father 和 the Son 和 the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all I have comm和ed you. 记住! I am with you always, even to the end of the age. 马修28:19-20
在世界各地, Godspell has been produced with every imaginable theme: circus, 歌舞杂耍表演, 嬉皮, or even graffiti-ridden back-alley aesthetics. Regardless of the visual representation, the heart of the story revolves around Jesus’ teachings brought to life 和 the eternal impact He made in the lives of His disciples, both individually 和 collectively.
We have chosen a school setting for the Gospel story to unfold, as if Jesus has walked into our modern-day context with the same salvation message of his first coming. Our scene opens in an ab和oned drama classroom where all of the various “types” of people you meet around a school find themselves drawn to Jesus. They discover costumes 和 props in this dusty old classroom 和 the space begins to transform 和 take on new life. 学生们, now disciples or followers of Jesus, help Him act out a variety of parables 和 lessons in imaginative ways, all while strengthening or testing their own faith.
I know that this production has caused me to ponder how closely I am following the Master in my daily walk with the Lord. My hope is that all who see 和 participate in this musical are equally reflective.
Are we more like the soloist of “Day by Day” in praying to follow Him more nearly, or are we falling into the trappings of Judas in pulling away from Jesus? Are we embracing the call to be a “Light of the World?” Or are we like the goats who choose to follow their own ways? 当然, 当我们迷失, we are reminded to look at the parable of the Prodigal Son who got the second chance to return to his father.
On behalf of my cast 和 crew, I would like to invite you 和 your family to witness Jesus’ message of redemption, 同情, 和 love come vibrantly to life February 5-6, 2021年威尼斯人博彩剧院上演. 点击这里 购买门票.
