The original words and music of “Once Upon A Tree” by Pepper Choplin will immerse attendees in the passion and intensity of the events of Holy Week.

Please join First Methodist Church’s family at 7 p.m. Friday, March 29 at 903 Broadway, Minden for this Good Friday event.

As the character of Luke is deeply touched by the story he is recording, the choir and soloists assume his role in the drama. Starting with Palm Sunday, it eloquently moves through the major events up to Good Friday and finally Easter.

This is a story of LIFE that leads us through the range of human experience through the celebration of the triumphal entry, the struggle of Gethsemane, the tenderness of a mother’s grief, the anger in the face of injustice.

The story takes one to the depth of human suffering and then lifts one to the ultimate victory over death.

“Once Upon A Tree” is directed by Dr. Dan Gibbs and is offered by First Methodist Minden Chancel Choir with Chamber Orchestra. Soloists are Mickey Love, Pat Culverhouse and Melanie Comb with Judge Parker Self as Luke the Physician.
