The Last Supper foot notes!

The previous post detailed our presentation of the Last Supper but I want to add some more info!

Kim Pace also sang in the presentation but we don't have a picture of her because she is our principle photographer and was usually behind the camera! A big thanks goes out to Kim and Alena Belleque for all of the pictures they took! Here is a final look at the entire table in Dixon.

The Living Last Supper

The living last supper is a recreation of Leonardo Da Vinci's painting "The Last Supper". Actors freeze in the position of the disciples who have just been told by Christ that one of them is to betray their Savior. Each disciple then gives a short monologue about how they met Jesus and how he has changed their lives. They ask themselves the question heaviest on their hearts, "Is it I? Is it I?". Normally I don't post such a large number of pictures but I am very thankful for those who worked to put on this production in Missoula and Dixon, Montana. All of the actors and musicians made it a special presentation and Cindy a I are are privileged to have worked with them! I hope your Easter was a blessed one!

The Hair Cut!

Okay we shouldn't use our blogs to tease our children but...I am me! We had let Sam grow his hair out due to lack of time to cut it and his reluctance to let us. But after his first basketball game I realized the boy need to see to shoot! So I made a dad decision. Off comes the hair! Here are the before and after photos!


Cindy prepares for Battle!


The final shot before cutting!

I deserve to have my blogging license revoked! It has been so hectic around here and there are some upcoming changes in our ministry that are taking much of our time! Please keep checking the blog for some important announcements!

Christmas was as busy as usual! Unfortunately we didn't take too many photos! Here are a few pix from the puppet team at Hillside Manor this Christmas. The people there are so excited to see the kids every year! What a great ministry to just say Hi, to them! have you visited a nursing home near you lately?
