The Living Last Supper - March 20, 2008
The Living Last Supper is a living dramatization based on Leonardo de Vinci's painting of THE LAST SUPPER. It is a communion service with lighting, sound and music. The twelve apostles speak their minds to themselves, to each other and to the Lord in the light of the words, which they have just heard Jesus speak, "I will not be with you much longer, and one of you will betray me."
