Several Sundays before Easter, Pastor Lee distributed boxes of Peeps, the marshmallow chicks and bunnies, to the youth and challenged them (working with their parents) to create a scene in Jesus’ life. Their creative interpretations, which the youth brought to church on Easter morning, were wonders to behold. Among the themes were
‘Walking on Water’
‘Entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday’
‘The Temptation of Christ’
‘The Last Supper’
‘Crucifixion, Resurrection, and Ascension’
‘Free-form Expression’
What joy these brought to the Hopewell congregation! Praise be to God for the creative expression of our youth and for Pastor Lee’s inspiration and parents’ encouragement.
