On April 23, the eve of Easter, Sunday school "Planet D" together with theater and dance ministries of the Victory Church conducted two great Easter holiday performances devoted to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Approximately 900 children and 1200 parents gathered in the large hall for the children's performances. Joyful mood of the ministers passed onto the guests and the hall was filled with smiles and laughter.

 

 

Both children and adults happily sang songs, danced, repeated funny gestures, and even sang and danced in a ring.

Everyone watched with great interest performance called "How toys searched for freedom". The children, fathers, mothers, grandfathers, and grandmothers all closely watched upon the events that unfolded in the performance. They expressed their empathies, laughed, and clapped their hands. The Biblical story about the creation of the world, the fall, and the redemptive sacrifice of Jesus Christ was shown with the help of the shadow theater. The audience in the burst of inspiration watched the wonderful play of the actors. Then the audience broke into applause.

The action of the play "How toys searched for freedom" takes place in the room of the boy Sasha. Toys think that they need freedom and decide to run away from Sasha. Money box, doll, robot, duck, dragon, and even smart phone ran away and seemed to receive real freedom. But after a while toys understood that they are defenseless and no one needs them. Friends find themselves in various amusing and dangerous situations and learn the Biblical story about Jesus Christ, His love, sacrifice, and resurrection. Toys understand that as people need to return to God they need to return to Sasha.

Broken and dirty they return to the one who truly loves them—to Sasha. This is how toys returned to their owner realizing their mistakes, their helplessness, and need of a loving friend Sasha.

After the performance each person in the audience could also return to the One who truly loves him—God. In the prayer together with pastor Henry children and adults asked for forgiveness of their sins and invited Jesus Christ into their hearts.

The church prayer team prayed for people, for solution of their problems, and fulfillment of their needs. At the end of the performance each child received a useful gift including a colorful folder for notebooks, a notebook, a pen, and delicious sweets.

In the hall there was an atmosphere of joy and happiness. One could hear greetings with holiday and words of gratitude, and smiles shone on faces. Indeed, Jesus Christ did rise from the dead and He is alive!
