Table for Five...Thousand! - Accompaniment CD

Unforgettable melodies and poignant lyrics abound in this inspiring musical based on the account of Jesus feeding the five thousand. Found in all four New Testament gospels, the story reveals how one young boy with five loaves of bread and two fish - and an apparent willingness to share - leads to an event so startling that members of the crowd wanted to proclaim Jesus as King. Later, the event reveals an even greater truth as Jesus tells his disciples, "I am the Bread of Life. Those who come to me will never go hungry". The musical remains true to the Biblical accounts while underlining the theme that the most humble among us, especially children, can do great things with God's help. An outstanding dramatic narrative employs numerous roles for girls and boys while also incorporating the congregation (or audience) during the climatic scene when Jesus feeds the five thousand. Flavored with humor, this worshipful musical fits perfectly into any worship setting, music camp, or VBS format. Performance time: 25-35 minutes
