A Wedding Feast

If you missed last Wednesday night at CrosStones, you really missed a treat!  As you know, our topic for the month of October has been “Making Wise Choices.”  Using Matthew 22:1-14 as our script, we had an “all play” skit in which we donned costumes and were in character as the wedding guests who were invited right off the streets.  The CrosStones’ room was transformed into a candlelit banqueting hall.  Mr. Jeff was awesome in his role as the king, welcoming all of the guests and hosting a feast of traditional Jewish cuisine.  Students read the seven blessings given at Jewish weddings.  We had festive music playing throughout the evening, and even created our own group dances.  At the end of the evening, the king noticed that Mr. Roy had refused to wear the wedding garment provided by the king, and, as the scripture said, was cast “outside, into the darkness.”  In this role, Mr. Roy had made the unwise choice not to accept the garment offered by the king. This symbolizes the choice to put on the “garment of righteousness” that we make when we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior.  In the end, we did allow Mr. Roy to come back in, put on a wedding garment and celebrate with us! 

We all had a great time bringing to life this parable which was taught by Jesus.  A special thanks to Mrs. Stacy and Miss Jane Dare for all of their help in making the night so special!
