Easter Program

I may be somewhat insane (aren't we all) but couldn't find a suitable Easter Program for the 4th, 5th & 6th grade classes. So, I decided to write/arrange my own. I found 3 CDs that had the split track so we could use that music.

Drawing inspiration from my Christmas play, A Piece of Christmas, the piece of fabric that was used throughout the Christmas story, the same fabric will follow Christ through the Passion Week. The narration will come from the Bible. Here is an outline of the story:


song: This is a Piece of Easter (same song from Christmas, slightly different words)

• Triumphant Entry - As Jesus enters on the donkey, the fabric is thrown down with the coats.

song: Hallelu, Hallelu

• Last Supper - fabric will be used as a towel when Jesus washes His disciples feet.

song: Let Us Break Bread

• Garden of Gethsemane - disciples will use it as a blanket when they fall asleep

song: I've Got a Feeling

• Carrying the cross - As Jesus stumbles, someone wipes his face with the fabric

song: Kum Ba Yah

• Crucifixion - Mary uses the fabric to weep into as she watches her son die

song: I See a Crimson Stream of Blood

• Burial - Joseph uses it to wrap Jesus' body

song: Oh What He's Done for Me

• Resurection - Christ has a new fabric as a robe when appearing

song: Christ, the Lord, is Risen Today
