| SONGS |
|
Most
of these new hymns have familiar tunes, marked by an asterisk
(*) in the script. These we suggest be sung by your congregation.
Those
to unfamiliar tunes (See the Servant and I Was the
One) may be taught to the congregation during Lent, in
the weeks leading up to Easter. Or you may assign them to
soloists, ensemble, or choir.

| CONGREGATIONAL
READINGS |
|
These
brief lines are key to the musical. They divide it into major
sections and introduce each important idea. Each reading paints
a distinct picture of Christ, one that is filled out in the
readings and hymns that follow.
Do
all you can to encourage congregational participation and
understanding. Ask your people to read strongly and boldly,
with all their hearts!
|
| READERS |
|
|
|
In
addition to delivering his or her own readings, the Reader
should lead the congregation in its readings. Encourage the
Reader to use verbal instructions and gestures as needed.
The
Reader or worship leader might also introduce the various
hymn tunes, as you feel necessary for your congregation.
|
| MAKE
IT YOUR OWN! |
|
|
Feel
free to adapt this musical and make it your own. Add staging
if you desire. Use your creativity, and draw in your own local
talent.
Each
section of the musical begins with a congregational reading
and ends with a hymn. To shorten the musical presentation,
simply drop some sections to fit your situation.
