who calls us all, His love to know.
In faith, we follow after Him. We follow after Him."

For the followers of Jesus Christ, the spotless Lamb of God, Holy Week is a
week like no other in the church year. From the high praise of Palm Sunday,
we move through the anguish of the Last Supper, the Garden of
Gethsemane, and the cross of Calvary, until we reach the "Alleluias" of
Easter morning. Like those followers of Jesus' day, the disciples and other
friends of our Lord, we seek, in this, our own day, to trace the footsteps that
led our Savior to the culmination of God's eternal plan of salvation.

Year after year, the music of the season aids our reflection in this journey of
sorrow and love. With this in mind, we present the cantata, Followers of the
Lamb. As we experience, through music and the spoken word, the words of
Jesus, and the testimony of some of His followers, may our hearts be kindled
to join in following the Lamb.
