The table is set. The sanctuary darkens and a hush falls across the room. The angel Gabriel enters, bringing the “Light of the World” and transporting the congregation to another time and place significant to Christians around the world: The Upper Room some 2000 years ago. A Savior and his disciples will gather to break bread and celebrate Passover.
“His name is Jesus … after tonight, he will walk the way of suffering, his ‘Via Dolorosa’.”
We then meet those who followed Jesus: Simon Peter, Andrew, James and the rest. Then Jesus breaks the bread and passes the cup.
This is the 31st year (30th anniversary) that Saint Andrew Global Methodist Church has opened its doors for the dramatic presentation of
“The Living Last Supper”
. Beginning at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday, April 17, and Friday, April 18, the members of Saint Andrew will, once again, bring the age-old story to life. The audience becomes part of the story as the table preparers lead worshipers in the candle-lit room to receive open communion at the table with Christ Jesus and the twelve.
Admission is free and a nursery will be provided.
Saint Andrew Global Methodist Church is located at 2019 North Edwards Avenue, Mount Pleasant, TX. For more information, call 903-572-6457.
