Mt. View Hosts Lenten Season with Dramatic Retellings, Live Painting, Music Saturday night, March 23, 7 p.m., Mountain View Presbyterian Church hosts Dr. Dick Stenbakken in a live, dramatic first person re-telling of the story of Christ's betrayal from the perspective of Judas. Meet Judas as he walks down the path of self-deception and his name turns from one of blessing to a curse. Following Saturday evening's portrayal, the church will host a dessert buffet, with time to meet and ask questions of Dr. Stenbakken, who has presented at Pentagon Prayer Breakfasts and around the globe. The event is free, and all are welcome.  The next morning, Palm Sunday, at 8:30 AM and at 11 AM, actor/researcher Dr. Stenbakken will reenact the story of the Roman Centurion Longinus and how Jesus changed his life forever. In addition to the Centurion's story, at the 11 AM service, the children of Mountain View will portray the triumphal entry into Jerusalem with singing and waving palm branches, accompanied by the Highland Ringers playing the bell choir composition "A Grand Celebration, " under the direction of Susan Chapman.  On Maundy Thursday, March 28 at 7 PM, Loveland artist Scott Freeman will paint the "Parable of the Mustard Seed." Freeman's dramatic live painting performance, which has touched hundreds, traces the stages of a man from rebellion to rebirth. The live painting will be followed by a time of reflection and Communion. The finished painting will be available afterwards for viewing. On Friday, March 29 at 7 PM, Dr. Tamra Keller, music director/composer, and Mountain View's Westminster Choir will lead "At the Foot of the Cross," a Good Friday Tenebrae service of scripture, reflection, and music.
