The first sermon

drama focuses on Jesus' disciples Andrew,

Matthew, and Judas, all played by men of the

church. On March 23, the eighth-grade drama team

will depict the Last Supper. On March 30,

disciples Nathaniel, Philip, and Bartholomew

teach Joseph of Arimethea what it means to obey

God. Similar dramas will continue through April

13. There will also be a children's sermon and

special music during each service.

Lent itself began

as 40 hours of preparation for adults for baptism

on Easter, in celebration of Jesus' Resurrection,

according to Christ Our Shepherd's senior pastor,

the Rev. John Weber. Over time, this interval

grew to the 40 days Christians now venerate with

sacrifice and solemnity.

The church is

located in Peachtree City at Peachtree Parkway

North and Ga. Highway 54. Weber said the public

is welcome at any of these services. For further

information, the Lutheran church office number is

770-487-8717. The number at St. Andrew's is

770-487-8415.
