On Maundy Thursday, April
13, 2006 three Springfield Presbyterian churches (Oakland,
Covenant, and
Northminster) combined their
talents to produce the "Living Last Supper" drama, which was part of their
combined Holy Week services. The services concluded with communion,
administered by Jesus, played by The Rev. Ron Smith, Interim Pastor of
Covenant.
This was the third, biennial production of the drama performed on the
stage in the Oakland sanctuary.
“The Living Last Supper”
consists of each disciple in turn, pondering Jesus’ words with a lengthy
soliloquy, reviewing his life with and relationship to Jesus, leaping off
of Jesus' disturbing words, "One of you will betray me." Each disciple's
piece ends with the words, "Lord, is it I?"
The service also had a combined choir of our 40 voices, and intermittent
cello solos between the soliloquies.
