At 6:30pm this Friday, April 14, the Cornerstone Christian Church will be staging “His Love for Us,” a story of Christ’s death and resurrection.
“We joined together to conceptualize and do the script. It’s a first time for us to do this production,” said Dina Cruz, overall production coordinator.
She said the play is spearheaded by the church’s single professionals’ group called Living Epistles.
“It’s an outreach program. It’s one way of telling the story of Jesus, one way of touching hearts, one way of blessing people,” said Cruz.
Production director Marie Relorcasa said doing the play was both “hard and easy.”
Easy because the story is already known to many; but hard because biblical accuracy is required throughout the story.
“It’s hard because you have to be concerned about God’s story. If it’s something else, I can have my own version. It’s not about just anything. Here, you have to be careful and be consistent with the Bible,” said Relorcasa.
Relorcasa, who is in her mid-20s, has been directing productions since college but this is the first time that she is directing a Christian play.
“It’s fulfilling,” she said.
She is working closely with May Marinay who is in-charge of costumes.
The production consists of about 30 cast members, all of them from the church.
“They are not real actors but they are most willing to participate in this production,” said Cruz.
She said “His Love for Us” portrays “the undying, infinite love of God” based on Romans 5:8 “But God commends his love towards us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us”
Cornerstone Church head pastor Lito Rey said this is the first time that the church is doing a production during Holy Week. In the past years, he said the church would hold family camps during the Easter weekend.
“We invite everybody to watch our special presentation this week. Please come and be blessed,” he said.
The production is free to the public.
Cornerstone Church has been on mission work on Saipan for seven years now. It is located along As Perdido Road, Chalan Piao.
