The Promise of Easter
Created by Deborah Craig-Claar, Allan Douglas, and Phillip Keveren

The life-changing story of Jesus’ death and resurrection is told from the unique perspective of the Samaritan woman at the well as she is transformed by the sacrificial love of Christ in this passionate new work from Deborah Craig-Claar, Allan Douglas and Phillip Keveren. Two actresses portray the woman called Anna – an older woman who looks back at the Passion events from a post-resurrection perspective, and her younger counterpart who encounters Jesus at the well and joins His followers in Jerusalem during Passion Week. The extraordinary score includes songs written or made popular by today’s most accomplished artists, including Michael W. Smith, Keith Getty, Stuart Townend, Matt Maher, and Natalie Grant. Phillip Keveren’s breathtaking chamber ensemble instrumentation creates an intimate and compelling experience. At only 40 minutes in length and with only two female characters, one male character, and purely optional sets/lights/costumes, Never Thirst Again can be offered by churches of any size or production capability.

An Easter Invitation
Arranged by Marty Parks

Song of the Lamb extends an invitation to join a journey; it’s a journey from despair to hope and from death to life, and it all begins with a Lamb. Veteran arranger Marty Parks has woven classic hymns, modern worship songs and inspirational favorites into a 39-minute work of timeless beauty. Featuring accessible vocal and piano parts and two solos, this offering from Simply Word is ideal for groups with limited rehearsal time. Churches may choose between a poignant, Scripture-based narration or an optional dramatic script, making Song of the Lamb flexible enough to meet a wide variety of performance and worship needs for the Easter season and beyond. The invitation still stands: Come join the journey, and help deliver eternity’s message to your church and congregation this Easter.
