“Our Children, Our Good Friday” community play was
started by Dr. Regi Paul in 1998. The program is designed to teach
children power of peace and non-violent techniques based on Christ's
"Seven Words on the Cross" and its application for peace
and harmony among the world of nations.
CASTMEMBERS The cast varies from 25 to 35 children
in a typical Good Friday season. The actors in play range in age from
6 to 21 years old. Children come from different churches, denominations
and through-out North America. This year we are aiming to recruit
children from different ethnicity and countries.
PURPOSE We strive to “Awaken the Child's faith in
oneself by uniting the community together with the hearts and hands
of our children.”
We explore critical thinking skills to help our children understand
the world around them. By using the life choices of Christ as a teaching
tool. We help prepare them to understand how to deal with many hard
decisions encountered in life. Christ could have denied, run or even
struck out at his enemies, yet his belief in self and compassion for
others drove him to do what he knew was right. This is the strength
and resolve we hope to awaken for a better world.
The highlight of the program is each year a young man is selected
to play role of “Jesus Christ” in the passion play. After the play,
this person is requires to be a role model for children of our world
community.
The program is based on core questions, Who is Christ? What do we
think of his teachings? Do you understand his choices? Can you use
these in your life situations? Just come and witness our children's
Passion Play and hear what they have to say.
PROGRAM The program offers an unique opportunity
for your child to learn and practice non-violent techniques through
the contemplation of Christ's Seven Words
on the Cross. We teach and motivate your child to think of real methods
of dealing with life by enacting their own Passion Play.
PRACTICE The program starts after Thanksgiving week
and ends after the performance of the play during the Easter Week.
For play practice schedule and location, please contact Dr. Regi Paul

of the world in spreading the words of peace.
