Sunday morning retuning: Jesus established a New Covenant at the Last supper. it is internal, not external, based on relationship and personal knowledge not effort and vague awareness and demonstrates forgiveness nor forbearance. If you missed Pastor Myron walking us through Luke 22:7-20, you can find his message and some other helpful resources here
I mentioned last week that we are currently in preproduction for a short film that we will use on Easter Sunday morning. We are so fortunate to have Todd Maki who is directing this. Some of you may not know this about Todd but he has some extensive experience in film.
I write this to you today to communicate to you how excited I am about what I see God doing as this project continues to take shape. But I am also writing because I need your help. We need about 25 people to be present for part of our shoot plan for next Saturday, March 21, from 9 AM to 5 PM. Only a couple of people who are part of the named cast will need to be there that entire time, but we need smaller groups of people to be there at different points in the day.
I have created a document available to anyone with the following link. You can go there to sign up for any/all timeslots. Please feel free to pass this link along to others at church. No acting experience is required, simply the willingness to follow directions. Basically our extras will just be people who will form a couple of small crowds for two of the scenes, with a few exceptions
Words cannot express to you how excited IM about this. It was an idea that began to germinate for me months ago. I shared it with Mikaela Kuneli and began to take shape. We shared those thoughts with Sherry Woods and it continued to take shape,Including what seemed like a clear indication that rather than being done live it should be a film. I got off the phone earlier today with Todd who described to me how productive the pre-production plans were yesterday and how excited he and Jim Hall are about this project. I see God's fingerprints all over it.
But again, following up on my thoughts from last week, we have some work to do. With your help we will get that work done. I believe on our work is done, God is going to cover it in his glory and use this labor to help many see the power of the resurrection In an ordinary life.
Who would not want to be a part of that?
The initial inspiration for this came from a great simple song called the Gospel changes everything. If you're considering being a part of this, but are not quite sure, listen to it here.
Though there have been some minor tweaks to the script, I have included a link to it here as well. Again, only individuals with this link can see the script.
Jesus, there is no doubt that Your gospel changes everything. We have seen Your power at work changing us and we are crying out that we will see it again as you work through us to declare this life-altering truth with others this Easter. In Jesus name. Amen.
In Christ,
Pastor Timothy
