About 40 singers and 10 musicians are performing Max Lucado’s “The Story” at Atonement. In about an hour, the performance takes listeners through the entire bible, from Genesis to Revelation. Topics include: Creation, Abraham and Sarah, David, Jesus’ birth, his ministry, his death and resurrection.

Choir director Summer Long said the eight songs and narration are accompanied by a “beautiful DVD. It’s like a professional movie of Jesus.”

Long said the church did the same show two years ago, and “everyone’s been begging for us to do it again.”

She said the premise of the story is to show God’s love of man, how man chose to sin, and how the savior came to help man and God restore their relationship.

Unlike many Lutherans, Long is outgoing. She laughed at that, saying she was raised Southern Baptist.

“I want to take those Lutherans and light a fire under them,” she joked.

The performances at the church, 6905 172nd St. NE, will be at 8:30 and 11 a.m. It will offer a breakfast at 9:30.

In Marysville, another big group is performing “Passion of The Christ” at the Catholic church, 7227 44th Ave. NE.

About 35 cast members are participating in that effort, which will be performed outdoors rain or shine. The 1 1/2 hour play will be done in Spanish.

It tells the story of Christ’s crucifixion. Like the famous movie directed by Mel Gibson, the play shows how Jesus is condemned to death and tortured as he drags a cross to Calvary. Services are scheduled for 9 and 10 a.m.

At Allen Creek Community Church, 7314 44th Ave. NE in Marysville, actors will perform the original play “Easter Scrooged” at services at 9 and 10:30 a.m.
