Easter Walk Through Experience at HOPAC

Today was the Easter Presentation at HOPAC.  There were 8 scenes or stations set up around the campus that told the story of the Passion of Christ.  The student body was broken up into groups and traveled around to each scene.  At the end, they were able to discuss with their group what they saw and put the events into order.  

I was asked to help with the first scene, the Triumphal Entry.  The group that started at our station was the only group that saw the story presented in order, everyone else had to rotate through the stations starting at a different scene, or else we would have been there all day!

Since I was helping to present and narrate our scene, I wasn't able to travel around with the kids and take pictures.  Thankfully our friend Becky took my camera and captured a few on film.  Also, Jim, our secondary principal took a few and forwarded them to me via email tonight.  Thanks guys!  I can't wait to see what pictures others took as well!

Most of our group...Marla, Indy, Grace as Lazarus, and Laura as a townsperson

Here they are "selling" stuff in the Temple before Jesus comes in and over throws the tables

Esther and Sissi "selling" rice and potatoes

During this scene they were talking about how much perfume would have cost back in Jesus' time

Laura was about to put perfume on Jesus' feet

During this station, they each got a turn washing someone's feet and then traded to have their feet washed

Graveyard scene, Ben is asking them if they can lift this rock...then related it to the size of the rock that was over the the door to Jesus' tomb

This was HOPAC's first year with this type of Easter presentation.  I'm excited to see how it will grow next year!  Praying you all have a very wonderful upcoming Easter!
