Southampton Passion Blog

Hi there... well as you have probably heard or seen by now I have been cast in the role of Jesus for the Passion 2011. This is a real honour and a privilege to seek to portray such an important person and already our rehearsals have started and I'm being challenged about how Jesus would act - it brings a whole new understanding to that famous Christian phrase - "What Would Jesus Do"! There is a lot of work ahead but I can't wait to start really working closely with the rest of the cast and building genuine relationships with them that will enhance our performances on the night.

We have cast the majority of our roles now and we will be announcing the cast here on the website very soon so keep popping back. Our rehearsal schedule is being finalised this week and we are SO excited about getting stuck into bringing this incredible story of God's love to life. Please keep praying for the cast and for all the team as we seek to stage this truly memorable event for the city and pray that God will prepare Southampton for what is coming next Easter!

There are lots of very encouraging things happening for the Passion right now and we will seek to keep you well informed of new developments as things happen. Stay tuned, keep supporting and tell everyone you know about Southampton Sings on Friday 17th December as we want to fill St Marys Stadium with 32,000 people celebrating Christmas and celebrating Jesus, the light of the world!
