Lehigh Township Column
St. Nicholas Catholic Church, 4412 Mountain View Drive (Route 946), Walnutport, will host the final reenactment of "His Last Days," the story of the passion, death and resurrection of Jesus 8 p.m. April 14, the Monday of Holy Week.
The play will be presented by the Herald Biblical Group and it will be their final performance.
The group, an interdenominational cast of people from all walks of life, will disband after Monday's reenactment.
For the past 30 years, they have used their talents to present the story of the last week of Jesus' life and filled that reenactment with prayer through music, song and dance.
Herald has offered their work with the hope and prayer that hearts will be touched with a deeper realization of God's love.
Many who have witnessed this reenactment have found it to be a moving experience that has helped them to more fully appreciate the events of Holy Week and Easter.
There is no admission charge and all are welcome to attend.
For more information, call JoAnn Havrilko, director of Herald Biblical Group, at 570-929-2984.
