The joy and celebration of the
risen Lord was depicted during the Easter evening service with
an exciting work performed by the WHBC choir and drama team of
Lord of Glory, written by Greg and Gail Skipper. The performance,
directed by Steve Horton, music minister at WHBC, blended original
music and new arrangements of popular hymns, including What Wondrous
Love and Lead Me To Calvary.
The cast included Evan Batson
as the narrator, Damien Washer as Peter, Dustin Rawlings as Malchus,
and Abigail Juarez as Mary Magdalene. Music was performed by
the WHBC adult choir.
The story achieved an excellent
balance of sensitive narration supported with a sense of excitement
throughout the telling of the familiar story. The highlight of
the work was the title song, which brought the cantata to a close
in robust fashion.
The music and drama ministry
of WHBC regularly presents worshipful dramas and music. Coming
in July will be the first children's music camp. More information
to come.
