Court Day is Saturday
The Corrottoman Seniors will meet at 10 a.m. Tuesday, April 15, at the Upper Lancaster Ruritan Club, 3989 White Chapel Road, Lively.
The guest will be Rebekah Haynie. She will play piano selections, reported Lorraine Dixon. The devo-tion will be presented by Rosemary Bonk.
The host and hostess for the month are George Hazzard and Rosemary Bonk.
Remember to bring a donation for the food pantry. We are in need of peanut butter and jelly, said Dixon. Any donation will be greatly appreci-ated. Bring an envelope and a dollar for Bingo, she added.
Callers for the month are J. W. McNeal and Nany Hundley. All seniors in the Northern Neck are wel-come.
Northern Neck Master Garden-ers water steward Sue Lindsey will conduct a tour of the Dameron Marsh Natural Area Preserve on April 19.
The group will meet at 10 a.m. at Shiloh School at Shiloh School and Balls Neck roads for a pre-sentation about the 316 acres at Dameron Marsh, its salt marshes, beaches, and shrub-forest-habi-tats. A walk in the preserve will follow.
Every visit to Dameron Marsh reveals somehting new or different said Lindsey. Volatile characteris-tics of the high-energy shoreline transform the scene.
“It’s Amazing to see,” she said. “Following the 1998 acquisition
of the property by the Virginia Depaprtment of Conservation and Recreation, Dameron Marsh has been allowed to return to its natu-ral state, making it an ideal place for research,” explained Lindsey. “Soybean f ields are long gone, and wildlife dependent upon native plants, have returned. The most dramatic change has been erosion, eating away at the beach; every nor’easter carves out another chunk of land. Uprooted trees in the sand witness to the power of these tides.”
Lindsey specializes in living shorelines, incorporating native plants. Since 2012 she has offered “Shoreline Evaluation Assistance” to area residents.
“Sue Lindsey is a popular speaker and nature interpreter; she welcomes children, new-
The Northern Neck Chapter of the Virginia Native Plant Society will meet at noon Thursday, April 17, at Wicomico Parish Church Hall, 5191 Jessie duPont Memorial Highway.
The Azalea Society of America president J. Jack-son will present an overview of propagation tech-niques for native azaleas.
“There are many ways of growing native aza-leas from seed and we try to improve production methods with each passing season,” said Jackson, who founded Appalachian Native Plants with his wife, Lindy Johnson. “For example, we’ve con-structed an energy-efficient greenhouse with public and private sector partners that produces seedlings ready for the ‘liner’ market in as little as six to eight months.”
Appalachian Native Plants is in Johnson County, Tenn. Its mission is to preserve native ornamental and woody plant species while creating jobs in the nursery, agricultural and landscaping trades.
“J. and Lindy are bringing 300 small native aza-leas that Appalachian Native Plants grew from seeds collected by Jeff Wainscott and me in the Fall of 2012, “ said past president Nick Ferriter. “We’ll have a potting up workshop immediately after his presentation. Volunteers are asked to bring their own trowels, and gloves if desired. We’re providing the pots and potting soils.”
Visitors are welcome. Attendees are reminded to bring a brown bag lunch. Tea, coffee and light refreshments will be available.
The Westmoreland Players will hold open auditions April 23 and 25 for their summer show, “Arsenic and Old Lace.” Auditions will be held from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at Westmo-reland Players Theatre, 16217 Rich-mond Road, Callao.
“Arsenic and Old Lace” by Joseph Kesserling is one of the all time great American classic comedies, according to artistic director Glenn Evans. The plot highlights the antics of a very wacky family. Featured are two charming elderly ladies with a heart of gold who have a pension for poison, a brother who thinks he’s a bugle-blowing Teddy Roosevelt, plus the unexpected appearance of two sinister figures right out of an old horror movie.
Trying to hold everything together is a seemingly normal nephew, a drama critic who hates the theater, said Evans.
Directors are looking for three women, two seniors for major roles and one, ages 18 to 35, for a sup-porting role. Eleven men are needed, four for major roles and seven for supporting and minor roles, all ages 20 older. Anyone interested in a backstage position also is urged to attend, he added.
No preparation is neces-sary. Enthusiasm is a must, said Evans. Bring calendars to block rehearsals. Supporting roles and cameos will require from one to two days a week of rehearsal until the final two weeks before perfor-mance. Production dates are August 2 through 17.
Contact Glenn and Joy Evans at 529-9345, or [email protected], if interested but unable to attend an audition.

Golden anniversary
The Lancaster County Lions Club will conduct its annual yard sale beginning at 8 a.m. April 26 at 288 North Main Street, Kilmarnock (across from Farm & Home).
The yard sale and other fundraising efforts, including an annual golf tournament, support various charitable activities, reported Julie Dudley.
In the past year, through the generosity of the community, the Lions Club has provided sight and hearing screenings at Lan-caster County Schools, to the residents of Tangier Island and at community health fairs, said Dudley.
“Using our newly acquired equipment, we have the ability to screen for diabetes, eye sight and hearing impairments and pro-vide eye glasses for those in need,” she said.
“The Lions dedicate themselves each year to donating gift baskets at Christmas to those less fortunate, eradicating pre-ventable blindness and sponsoring youth scholarships,” contin-ued Dudley. “Each year, our Bland Scholarship competitions and PEACE poster showcase talented musicians and artists in our schools.”
The club continues to evolve to meet new needs and greater demands, but the mission never waivers from “We Serve,” she said. Community support empowers the club to provide neces-sary services to those in need.
To donate items for the yard sale, or to have them picked up, call Jim Schmidt at 436-8509, or Dale Griggs at 435-7663.
The Charity Golf Tournament will be held on May 14 at Indian Creek Yacht and Country Club, said Dudley.
The registration fee is $75 per person or $300 per team, she said. Check-in time will be 11:30 a.m. followed by a shotgun start at 1 p.m. Lunch is provided.
The tournament is open to male and female golfers. Format will be four players, captain’s choice. Prizes will be awarded. To register, call Dudley at 296-0172.
The public is invited to throw on their glad rags, jump in their jalopies and then 23 Skidoo to the hottest, coolest joint in town.
April 26 is the date and Reedville’s Festival Halle is the place for this jazzy event that’s sure to be the bee’s knees!
The Roaring Twenties 2014 Gala Auction hosted by the Reedville Fishermen’s Museum from 5:30 to 9 p.m. will benefit the renovation fund for Festival Halle which was jumpin’ with school chil-dren back in the ‘20s, reported Jeanne Hickey.
After closing as a school, this Reedville icon was pur-chased by the Birkel family of Fleeton, and renamed Festival Halle. In 2009, Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Birkel donated the prop-erty to the Greater Reedville Association for use as a com-munity center, said Hickey.
As with all older structures, time has taken its toll and Festi-
The Richard Henry Lee chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution will meet at 11:30 a.m. April 21 at Rappahannock Westminster-Canter-bury, 132 Lancaster Drive, Irvington.
The principal speaker will be Robert Teagle. He will discuss the taxes imposed on the Ameri-can colonies by the British Crown, reported Bob Denton.
Like death, colonial ancestors could rest assured that taxation would also be one of the certainties of life. But the types of taxes colonial Virginians paid and the manner in which government officials set tax rates differed in important respects from today. From tithables and quit rents to duties imposed on importations of slaves and liquor, this presentation will highlight the tax systems that shaped life for Virginians in the 17th and 18th centuries.
Teagle serves as education director and curator for the Foundation for Historic Christ Church. He has been with FHCC since March 2000, holding the position of education director before taking on the additional duties of curator in January 2007.
Teagle has a bachelor’s in history from the Col-lege of William and Mary and a master’s in Amer-ican history from Virginia Tech.
He also studied at Christ College, Cambridge University, England. His research interests include the clergy and Church of England in colo-nial Virginia, comparative slavery, and the role of the Carter family in the social, political and archi-tectural history of colonial Virginia. He lives in Gloucester County with his wife, Rebecca, and two children.
Guests of members are invited to attend.
On April 22, Rappahan-nock Westminster-Canterbury will host Voyages, a one-day seminar to address some of the medical, legal, administra-tive, and spiritual dimensions of aging.
The event will be held from 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. at RW-C, 132 Lancaster Drive, Irvington, A continental breakfast and lunch are provided, reported vice president for development Elizabeth “Whiz” Harris. Voy-ages is open to the public.
“We decided to schedule our program close to the date of National Healthcare Deci-sions Day, to further highlight
val Halle was beginning to look run-down both inside and out. The Greater Reedville Asso-ciation and a dedicated group of volunteers have already tackled some big projects such as heating, ventilation and air conditioning; roof repairs;
painting; polishing and clean-ing; and chair replacement, she said. Much remains to be done.
A renovation fundraising campaign kicked off last fall with a reunion dance. Funds raised were used to replace tat-tered stage curtains. In March,
an Ides of March dance helped fund bathroom renovations and the creation of a bride’s room.
The 2014 Gala Auction will help fund kitchen renova-tions. Future plans include the repair of exterior stairs, deck and window sills; replacement of carpets and flooring; and numerous other projects, said Hickey.
Since a project as big as this requires community support, the GRA is soliciting commu-nity participation and financial contributions.
To purchase gala tickets, or make a donation to the Festival Halle Renovation/Restoration Fund, visit rfmueum.org, or call 453-6529.
Contribution checks also may be mailed to Greater Reedville Association, P.O. Box 306, Reed-ville, VA 22539. Please indicate that the check is for Festival Halle. All prior donations will be announced at the auction during a “Fund-A-Need” presentation.
the importance for all adults of having the information and opportunity to communicate and document their healthcare decisions,” said resident life coordinator Maria Ferrand, one of the organizers.
During the morning ses-sion, attendees will learn about medical and legal issues all seniors should consider, including advanced direc-tives that provide instructions for medical care, especially at end-of-life, she said. They also will learn about Virginia’s Advance Health Care Direc-tive Registry, virginiaregistry.org., a resource that allows
residents to store documents they want to make available to family members and health care providers if they are unable to convey their wishes concerning medical care.
The Steamboat Era Museum is compiling a Steamboat Era Cookbook. The recipes must have been served between 1813-1937.
“Do you have recipes from your mother, grandmother, family member or friend such as Carolyn Sanders’ Mother’s Chocolate Orange Cookies, Barbara Baxter’s Grand-mother’s Fried Pies, Anne McClintock’s Grandmother’s Irish Potato Pie or Nancy Newlin’s Grandmother’s Holi-day Dates?” asks executive director Barbara Brecher. “We
would like to hear from you.”Entrees, salads, desserts,
cocktails and other food items are welcome, said Brecher. Include any related anecdotes about the originator of the recipe; when, to whom, and how it was served.
The recipe book will be sold in the museum gift shop, she said. Proceeds will support the museum’s programs.
Send recipes, including con-tact information, by June 30, to Sallie Dashiell at [email protected], or P.O. Box 8, Weems, VA 22576

The Boys & Girls Club of the Northern Neck will hold its second “Casino Night on the Rivah” from 5:30 to 9:30 p.m. April 26 at the club’s recreation center, 517 North Main Street, Kilmarnock.
Sponsors to date are Chesapeake Bank, Bank of Lancaster, Union First Market Bank and the Pat-terson Wesselman Simpson Foundation, reported office manager Tina Hagen.
The event, which features Texas hold ‘em, black jack, craps, poker, horse racing, and a silent auction, draws a festive crowd. A Golf Shot Putting Tournament chal-lenges players to sink putts from increasing distances, and awards one skilled putter the chance to split a winning pot of $10,000 cash with the club, said Hagen. There will be a silent auc-tion, and prizes will be awarded throughout the eve-ning.
The $60 ticket price includes food, beverages, and $10,000 in casino chips.
The club provides edu-cational after-school and summer programs to nearly 400 children, each of whom pays $45 a year for mem-bership. The per child cost of the club’s programming is about $1,000, however, and each year the club faces the task of raising its entire operating budget of nearly $500,000.
“With the help of the generous individuals and businesses of the Northern Neck, we are able to make a positive difference in the lives of children,” said exec-utive director Phillip Mum-ford. “As a result, the future of our community is guar-anteed to be better, brighter, and more secure.”
Reservations are required for Casino Night. Tickets are available at the club, bgcnn.com and 435-9696.
■Beulah Baptist Church,
4448 Mary Ball Road, Lively, will host a community yard sale, car wash and bake sale from 7 a.m. to noon April 19.

Stratford Hall on April 27 will present a special Garden Day and Cabin Walk event in conjunction with Historic Garden Week in Virginia.
Presenters include garden-ing expert P. Allen Smith and Garden Club of Virginia land-scape architect Will Rieley, who will speak on historic garden restoration.
“Gardens have always been an integral part of the Strat-ford landscape,” said executive director Paul Reber. “So we are pleased to be able to offer this very informative program to the public.”
As part of the day’s activi-ties, several directors’ cabins will be open for touring and members of Stratford’s board of directors from around the country will serve as host-esses. This year marks the 40th anniversary of the first Cabin Walk tour held in conjunction with Historic Garden Week. The Great House (self-guided), Cheek and Astor guest houses, and gristmill, also will be open for tours.
The Garden Club of Virginia began its long-standing rela-tionship with Stratford Hall in 1930 when it undertook the restoration of the East Garden, one of its first restoration projects. Since that time, the
Garden Club of Virginia has continued to advise and assist with other garden needs as they become evident, said Reber.
Investigation and restora-tion of the landscape around the Great House is a part of the ongoing comprehensive campaign, “Securing a Place for the Past.” Stratford also has been working with the Univer-sity of Georgia on a cultural landscape research project for the entire site.
Tickets include all presenta-tions, tours, and a box lunch. Tickets are $85 per person, and must be bought in advance. Purchase tickets at Stratford-Hall.org, or 493-1370.

On Tuesday, April 15, Rappahannock Westminster-Canter-bury will conduct a Holy Week service led by representatives of the Episcopal Dio-cese of Virginia and the Presbytery of the James.
The service will begin at 11 a.m. in the auditorium in the Chesapeake Center, 132 Lancaster Road, Irvington. The public is invited. No reserva-tions are required. “It is especially appro-priate for us to invite representatives of the Episcopalian and Presbyterian churches to join us in celebrat-ing at Easter,” said chaplain Davis Smith. “RW-C was founded in 1985 under the joint sponsorship of these churches, and maintains affiliation with both.”
Officiating at the service will be the Rt. Rev. Shannon S. Johnston, Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Virginia. Ordained to the priest-hood in 1988 and consecrated a bishop in 2007, “Bishop Shannon,” as he likes to be called, presides over one of the largest dioceses in the Episcopal Church, said Smith. Prior to taking up duties as the leader of the Diocese of Virginia, he served in various positions in the Diocese of Mississippi.
The Rev. H. Carson Rhyne Jr., General Presbyter and Stated Clerk of the Presbytery of the James, will preach at the service. Rhyne, who has served in his present position since 1997, is a former pastor of Summit Presbyterian Church in Stafford, said Smith. He is an affiliate faculty member at Union Presbyterian Seminary in Richmond, where he teaches Presbyterian Policy.
Smith will serve as host for the services and also participate in the worship. Also participating will be RW-C resident Rebecca Ford and the Westminster Singers, under the direction of Julia Olson.
“Inviting the public to join residents for this ceremony helps build a sense of community,” said Smith. “We schedule our service on Tues-day before Easter so they can still attend services at their own churches later in the week.”

FA R N H A M — F r a n c e s Laura Crutchley Dreher left this physical world on March 28, 2014.
Her life was one of love and dedication to her hus-band, Bob; her three children, Doug, Bruce (Kathy) and Carol (Larry); her six grand-children; and her recently born great-grandson. She was surrounded by loving family including her parents, her brother, Bud, and sister, Anne, and many nieces and
REEDVILLE—Lois Marie Fulcher France, 83, of Reed-ville died Sunday, April 6, 2014, at her home. She was a devoted wife; loving mother, grandmother, great-grand-mother; dear sister; and devoted friend. She was a member of Bethany United Methodist Church, Reedville, and origi-nal member of the Northum-berland County Rescue Squad, and a member of the Duplicate Bridge Club of Reedville.
She has been reunited with those whom she loved in life: her husband of 61 years, Carrol Carlyle “Cap-tain Crunch” France; children, Michael, Carlton, and Dennis; and sister, Audrey Fulcher Haynie. She is survived by brother, Charles Fulcher Jr.; sister, Joan Ellis Lassiter; daughter, Patricia France; and son, Jeff France.

nephews. Mrs. Dreher had several
circles of friendship and community through her long life. She was active in her church, Campbell Memo-rial Presbyterian Church, the Women’s Club of Lancaster and the Historyland Commu-nity Workshop. Her circles of friends included bridge groups, “Red Hat Ladies” and many close friends and neigh-bors who shared her 91 years.
A native of Brooklyn, N.Y., she met Bob at a church func-tion. They were married after he was discharged from the Navy on June 21, 1947. After short stays in Ithaca and Albany, N.Y., Bob and Fran settled in Garden City, N.Y., to raise their three children. As the children grew older she resumed her career in banking.
The family acquired a love for the water and boating. They had many boats over the years and went on numerous trips on Long Island Sound and up and down the East Coast. One of these adven-tures brought them to the Chesapeake Bay and Corro-toman River aboard their sail boat “Rio Mar.”
After visiting the Northern Neck and falling in love with the area, they purchased land on which they designed and built their dream retirement home in 1980. After moving to the area, they were warmly welcomed by everyone they met.
Her life was not free of challenges, namely the untimely and unexpected loss of her son, Doug in 1990. Her faith in God sustained her through this difficult period.
The Drehers spent more than 30 great years in the Northern Neck of Virginia. Many family gatherings were held and many great memo-ries were created for their children and grandchildren at their home on Lover’s Lane. Those cherished memories will live on in our hearts.
They spent the last year living in independent living at Farnham Manor in Farnham where they were well cared for. Bob remains in residence there in the memory care unit. The family is thankful for the loving care he is receiving there.
Fran’s life was truly filled with joy and love! She has departed us on wings of love, and is now held in the loving palm of God—from which she is still sharing her warmth and love with us.
A service was held April 5 at Campbell Memorial Pres-byterian Church. A reception will follow the service.
In lieu of flowers, dona-tions can be made to Hospice of Virginia, P.O. Box 2098
Tappahannock, VA 22560, or Campbell Memorial Pres-byterian Church, 3712 Weems Road, Weems, VA 22576.

and his wife, Trudi, and Norman Haynie and his wife, Bonnie; seven grandchildren, Robyn Kelley and her hus-band, Casey, Emily Haynie, Tyler Haynie, Melissa Haynie, Nathan Haynie, Marissa Coates and James “Jamie” Coates; seven great-grand-children; two sisters, Euline Revere Lewis and Mary Ida Revere Haynie; two brothers, Stewart Revere and his wife, Ann, and Delanor Revere and his wife, Betty; sisters-in-law, Edna Revere and Dorothy Haynie Stevens; two special sons, Sany “Sonny” Seng and Sanoeun “Noonie” Seng; two very special friends, Inease Marsh and Laura Waller; and numerous nieces, nephews and cousins.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Andrew Eugene Haynie Sr.; her sister, Rachel Revere Taft; and her brothers, Eugene Revere, James Revere and Rudolph Revere.
Betty Ann was a loving mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and friend to all. Her compassion and giving nature was especially evident in her 37 years of working at Lancashire Convalescent and Rehabilitation Center. She always had a smile and bright-ened any room she entered. Betty Ann will be greatly missed by her family and friends.
A funeral service was held April 9 at Lebanon Baptist Church, Alfonso. Interment followed in the church cem-etery. Family received friends from 6 to 8 p.m. April 8 at Currie Funeral Home, Kilmar-nock.

When she was seven years old, the family moved to DeLand, Fla., where she was raised and spent her early adulthood, attending Stetson University and joining both Delta Delta Delta Soror-ity and the Junior League of DeLand.
In November 1944, she met Robert B. Shepard Jr., a Navy pilot temporarily stationed for further training at DeLand Naval Air Station, on a blind date. He asked her to marry him the next day, and six weeks later, to her surprise and delight, she was a Navy wife living in California.
Following the war, the Shepards moved to Upper Montclair, N.J., where they resided until Mr. Shepard’s passing in February 1980. While living in Montclair, Mrs. Shepard belonged to the Presbyterian Church of Upper Montclair, where she estab-lished the annual Chrismon tree, creating all of the diverse ornaments herself by hand. The tree is still in use today. She also was a member of the Montclair Art Museum.
Born nearly four months to the day of the sinking of the Titanic, Mrs. Shepard could recall as a child listening to firsthand stories of the Civil War recounted by her uncle, a Confederate veteran.
Central Florida being an unsettled place in the early part of the 20th century, her chil-dren delighted in hearing her stories of their grandmother sitting all night in the long driveway of their home with a rifle across her knees, pro-tecting her children while her husband was away, of shoot-ing a pistol out of her bedroom window upon hearing anything suspicious, and of the various itinerant tradesmen, beggars, and even robbers who knocked on her parents’ door.
Following the death of her mother’s sister and mother in the 1918 influenza epidemic, the family took her two cous-ins, making the already large household even larger.
In addition to her husband, she was predeceased by her parents, her brother, her seven sisters, cousins, and two neph-ews.
She is survived by her daugh-ter, Sally McBee of Ledyard, Conn.; her daughter, Anne Langley (John) of Knoxville, Tenn.; three grandchildren, Becca McBee (Shane Eller) of Washington, D.C., Sarah Wilde (Patrick) of Charlotte, N.C., and Mercer Langley (Emily), also of Charlotte; two great-grandchildren, Bryson Wilde and Molly Langley; her sister-in-law, Elizabeth Shepard Get-zoff of Raleigh, N.C.; and vari-ous nieces and nephews.
A memorial service will be held at 1 p.m. Friday, April 11, at Rappahannock Westminster-Canturbury. At the convenience of her family, private interment of her ashes will take place in historic Oakdale Cemetery in DeLand beside her parents and siblings.
In lieu of flowers, donations in her memory may be made to the RW-C Foundation, 132 Lancaster Drive, Irvington, VA 22480.
Currie Funeral Home of Kilmarnock handled the arrangements.

Palm Sunday is upon us. All over the world choirs, musi-
cians, children and adults alike, will gather in their houses of worship to remember the last human days of Jesus upon this earth.
Film producers, dramatists, musi cians, and poets have all had a go at trying to capture the grandeur, the majesty of Christ’s final days in hu man form. It is heady stuff. It is ripe with passion. It is a raw tale: a handsome young guy identified with all the sin in the world, hung up to public ridi-cule, pain, and death.
It is a story of magnani-mous proportions. It is a tale oft told, yet oft misun-derstood. In all the aura of the story, the complexities unfolding have little to do with history. It happened so long ago. So few people were there.
Without aid of internet, newspaper, radio or TV it has spread across the human canvas for over 2,000 years.
It is a pageant most holy, a saga glorious. It wrings loose from powerful suffering, my salvation. It has all the pro-ponents of a first-century soap opera. Jesus, the falsely accused, nailed to the cross for us.
The pageant unfolds with that wonderful account of Jesus returning to Jerusalem. His earthly reputation has grown to legendary status. The gathered throng awaits a hero’s return. The lathered mob presses against the dirt path over which Jesus rides. No white charger for this young man: He sits astride a donkey, that humble little animal much like the one that bore his mother to Bethle-hem some three decades ear-lier.
Who could have imagined such a tumultuous 30-year span? A mere teen herself, Mary, married to a chap of some antiquity, would lay in a manger the Body Beautiful. Fresh picked skin, eyes that
glistened, fingers reaching for life’s opportunity, the Babe was on a mission.
The rulers of the world heard the secret. Though they did not believe, they had been warned. That Babe wrapped in swaddling clothes would rock religion and politics to their very core. Every earthly value, every human emotion, every sensual action, every moment of truth, compassion, and hope would be redefined by the Man He would become. God shook his fist at His chosen. The halls of government trembled. Cre-ation groaned.
Ah, yes, let the pageant begin: “As they approached Jerusalem and came to Beth-
phage and Bethany at the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two of his disciples, say ing to them, ‘Go to the village ahead of you, and just as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, which no one has ever ridden. Untie it and bring it here.
“If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ Tell him, the Lord needs it and will send it back here shortly. They went and found a colt outside in the street, tied at a doorway. As they untied it, some people standing there asked, ‘What are you doing, untying that colt?’ They answered as Jesus had told them to, and the people let them go. When they brought the colt to Jesus and threw their cloaks over it, he sat on it.
“Many people spread their cloaks on the road, while others spread branches they had cut in the fields. Those who went ahead and those who followed shouted, ‘Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David! Hosanna in the highest!’”
The text is found in Mark:1-11. Another account reads from the Gospel of Matthew (21:ff). Sprinkled through holy text are references ripe to the reader who understands, that the pageant is about opportu-nity. It is about hope. It is about freedom. It is about choice.
Jesus died by his own free choice. It was the longest week in history. Towards its end Jesus gave a farewell, prepa-ratory dinner. He would break bread one more time with that rag-tagged bunch of chosen disciples. It was an army con-scripted from among all walks of life. The dust had caked between their toes as they’d followed the man from Naza-
reth on His formidable journey. It was over now. Jesus needed to feed his troops, to encourage them, to equip them for that which was to follow.
A young lamb, as innocent as Christ him-self, was slain for the main course. The embel-lishments of the meal
were reflective of the journey of the Jews from slavery to the promised land. Around the table the Seder was pro-nounced. The trip finally had a destination. Moses’ map could now be folded. In Jesus all could find passage. You see, the pageant is about a holy journey, not just an earthly one.
Jesus gave the blessing. The crowds dissipated. He seques-tered himself in a garden to pray. There is no question but that He wavered in his pro-pulsion toward the cross. He begged God for mercy -- God would not hear over the roar of our sin.
Peter slept. Jesus and Mary had a death vigil to keep.
Our hope lies in our ability to assess the pageant to ourselves. It is, after all our story, too. It was for us that He died. It mat-ters. Believe, confess your sins and you will be saved.
