Congregational Hymn 203 “His Name Is Wonderful”

While the congregation sings, Peter and John, with baskets of food, enter and dialogue. Peter and John see the man with the water pitcher, move back across the front, and follow him to the upper room.They ask him if this is the place; the man sets down the pitcher, affirms Peter and John, and leaves. They begin to set the Passover meal in place.

Pastor: Tonight we invite you to the Lord’s table.We invite you to imagine what it must have been like on the night that Jesus was betrayed for 30 pieces of silver. Let’s pray.

Pastor: Now the day of the Passover arrived when the Passover Lamb was killed and eaten with the unleavened bread. Jesus sent Peter and John ahead to find a place to prepare their meal.They asked Him where to go,and He told them they would see a man carrying a pitcher of water, and they should follow him into the house he entered. Jesus said to ask the man to show them the room where they could eat the Passover meal together.Then they were to prepare for the meal. Peter and John did just as Jesus had instructed them.They entered the city and found everything just as Jesus had said, and they made arrangements and prepared the Passover supper.

Congregational Hymn 273 “Freely, Freely”

The disciples and Jesus enter.

Pastor: What were they thinking as they gathered for the meal and the events of the evening unfolded?

The stage lights dim as a light is solely on Peter.
