role playing & 3rd annual event

We are studying the book of Mark in our family Bible time in the evenings.  We enjoy the Gospels not only for the Gospel which is proclaimed throughout but also for  the action of Jesus and His disciples.  Our  little disciples/children beg for "role play" each night and our time comes alive as we each take part.  Keegan and Alex joined in last weekend as the disciples were sent to  proclaim the Gospel without taking extra items such as belts and shirts.  They cast off their belts, hats and jackets in the following scene.  Mr. Huffman joins in regularly with his awesome voice.  I am usually the narrator. 
We are preparing for our 3rd annual Halloween event: a play. Last year we did Moses and Pharaoh and this year we will be premiering The Man Born Blind from the Gospel of John chapter 9 verses 1-41.  Our cast includes Jesus played by Christian, Blind Man played by Ethan, neighbor and mother played by Kara, disciple played by Albert, Pharisee played by Mr. Huffman and you guessed it, I'm the narrator.  We chose our parts by casting the lot.  Fun stuff.  I'll be working on scripts this weekend and we have a standard wardrobe for Hebrew/Jewish people.  We might have to get more authentic for the Pharisee outfit with tassels and all. We will see....  Stay tuned for our October 31 debut.
