Holy Week performances planned at Juda church

JUDA - The Juda-Zion and Oakley-Union United Methodist Churches will present a dramatic Easter musical at Zion Church. Performances will take place at 2 p.m. on Palm Sunday, March 28 and 1:30 p.m. on Good Friday, April 2.

This year's presentation, "Bow The Knee," tells the old story with familiar hymns and new songs. The focus is on two Roman soldiers who react very differently. Both observe the ministry, arrest and death of Jesus but Marcus, played by Tom Miller, rejects the Messiah's claims. Anthony, played by Gene Dobbins on the other hand, because his two servants are believers, experiences the resurrection and comes to faith in Christ.

Playing the traditional parts are Jacob Ramos as Jesus, Marvin Becker as Peter, Dennis Pfingsten as Judas and Jerry Ladwig as Pilate. Ann Kloepping has a solo as the woman forgiven by Jesus. The play is directed by Shelly Jordan.

Both performances are open to the public and there is no admission charge but a free-will offering will be received. The church is located on the corner of Church and Walnut Streets in Juda. For more information, call (608) 934-5398.
