Requirements to participate

It is very exciting that so many people return year after year to participate in what we refer to as Our Lenten Prayer. We value the participation of young and old. You give the performance a very special quality and your presence is a blessing to all of us. We need to maintain a “What Would Jesus Do?” attitude throughout the rehearsal process.  We all need to be patient with one another and remember the focus of this production – Jesus Christ.  This is not a talent show or a stepping-stone to Broadway. It’s a prayer.  Working together, we can all keep this experience a positive and prayerful one.
