Lord’s Supper tableau to be presented
H o ly
Lord's Supper tableau.
Again this year, the members of
All Saints' Episcopal, Valby and
Hope Lutheran churches will
offer their Lord’s Supper Tableau
on Monday of Holy Week, April
17.
This year it will be presented at
St. Patrick’s Catholic Church,
Heppner, in concert with that
Roman Catholic Parish.
A soup and sandwich supper
will be served at St. Patrick's
Parish Hall beginning at 5:30
p.m., with the tableau beginning
at 7 p.m.
The tableau is a dramatic
recreation of the Passover Meal
that Jesus shared with* his
disciples in Jerusalem on the
night before his crucifixion on
the cross at Golgotha on Good
Friday. This meal has come to be
known as the Lord's Supper or
the
Sacrament
of
Holy
Communion.
The scene in the Upper Room
will be recreated according to
Leonardo da Vinci's painting,
"The Last Supper". Leonardo
painted the scene at the moment
when Jesus announced to his
disciples that one of them would
betray him. The tableau includes
a "still life" by Jesus and the
disciples at that moment.
Men from All Saints', Hope
and Valby will portray the
disciples as they gathered at the
table for the Passover in the
Upper Room in Jerusalem.
A narrator will tell us
something of the life of each
disciple before the crucifixion,
and their activities following the
resurrection of Jesus.
M arsha Sweek speaks at
lon e Topic Club
Marsha Sweek, director of the
Morrow County Museum, was
the guest speaker at the lone
Topic Club meeting at Beecher’s
Cafe.
Sweek told members about
activities of the museum and of
*her recent trip to Atlanta, GA,
and Washington, D.C., as a
representative of small museums.
Sweek said that most attendees
had no conception of a very
small museum where there
weren't employees delegated to
different areas of work but the
director did most of them. She
said she was also delighted to be
invited to a reception at the
White House, where the
President and First Lady were
also in attendance.
lone Mayor Betty Gray reported
that the city council had voted to
donate $400 instead of the usual
$300 to the budget the coming
year.
Jean Nelson called attention to
the new Farm Foundation, which
is working on renovating the old
MCGG elevator into a farm
museum. They are accepting
dues and donations now.
Becky Hunt and Anne Morter
volunteered to be story readers to
the preschoolers in April.
The club agreed to furnish some
of the meals for the Columbia
Plateau Stage Racers to be in
lone in June.
Recent guests of Topic Club
were foreign exchange students,
David Mansfeld of Yugoslavia
and Hans Stulz of Rostock,
Germany, who told some
interesting facts and comparisons
of their homelands.
The April meeting will be the
annual Topic Club Senior Tea.
Hostesses are Betty Gray and
Kerry Rietmann.

Videoconference planned

will join more than 2,400
organizations across the United
States and Canada as a local host
for the Hospice Foundation of
America's
seventh
annual
N atio n al
B ereav em en t
Teleconference.
"Living with Grief: Children,
Adolescents, and Loss", a live-
via-satellite video teleconference,
will focus on ways to help
children and adolescents cope
with loss. The program offers
insight and practical suggestions
for those assisting young people
with issues that include death,
serious illness, divorce and other
traumatic incidents. The program
will be moderated by Cokie
Roberts of ABC News and will
feature a "distinguished panel of
experts."
The teleconference is produced
by Hospice Foundation of
America,
a
non-profit
organization that assists those
who cope either personally or
professionally with terminal
illness,
death,
grief and
bereavement.
Last year’s teleconference was
seen by more than 150,000
people
in
over
2,400
communities.
"While we often discuss how
we grieve as adults, rarely do we
consider the losses that children
and adolescents must face," said
Jack D. Gordon, president of the
Hospice Foundation of America.
Whether they are grieving the
death of a parent or grandparent,
or they must face the loss
involved in re-location or
divorce, children and adolescents
often do not know how to cope.
This teleconference will present
interventive techniques that
caring adults can use to empower
children and adolescents with
effective coping skills. "
"I would highly recommend
community
members
attendance," said Molly Rhea,
Pioneer Memorial Home Health
director. "I have seen each of
theprior six teleconferences and
they have all been well done,
thought provoking and time well
spent. I would highly recommend
community
members'
attendance."

baseball on Thursday, April 13,

and-one-half-hour
panel
discussion. The panel will

social worker and expert on play
therapy for bereaved children;
Charles Corr, Ph.D., professor
and author who has written
extensively
on
children,
adolescents and grief; Kenneth J.
Doka, Ph.D., Lutheran minister
and professor of gerontology at
the College of New Rochelle;

Administration
Office

By Cliudl» Hugh— , Chamber >ton»fl«r
Daily the Chamber mail holds
"opportunities" for conferences,
which could exhaust one's
monetary resources and well as
their soul. Sometimes one wishes
it were possible to be able to
attend more just to be aware of
what current method of education
is out there.
For instance the newest
brochure says "discover how to
thrive in the tension between the
new economic reality and human
values." It goes on to say, "the
new economy is about speed,
agility, instant wealth innovation
and impermanence."
The new economy (.com) is
changing the way we live and
work and, no matter how we live
and work, we need to understand
it. However, one would hope that
human values will not be lost in
the process. Life should be about
balance,
meaning
and
contribution.
With that in mind, let's deal
with some basics. Water.
Without water, agriculture, and
all natural resources, no one
would really have the time or
energy to worry about the other
issues nor would they have
sustenance.
The Heppner Chamber has
joined with the Extension Office
and the Morrow County
Livestock Growers to bring guest
speaker Pat Larson to provide an
educational program on water
quality issues next Tuesday,
April 18, noon, at the Elks.
RSVP to the Extension Office,
676-9642, or the Chamber, 676-
5536, by Friday, April 14, for the
luncheon.
Take a break from the field to
learn more about grass roots
issues, where we all began.
The following Tuesday, April
25, the Chamber luncheon will
again be at the Elks, honoring
secretaries. RSVP for this
luncheon also, 676-5536.
Thought for the week: "Making
a living is not the same thing as
making a life."
Art workshop slated
A workshop featuring
well-known artist Robert Walton
of Leavenworth will take place
July 9-11 at the Morrow County
Fairgrounds annex. "Robert's
paintings are very popular
throughout the United States and
usually feature dramatic skies
and mountain scenes," said Betty
Mills of the Morrow County
Creative Arts and Crafts Club.
A sample of his work
was raffled off St. Patrick's Day
in the Les Schwab showroom by
the Morrow County Arts and
Crafts Club.
The proceeds of the
raffle went to the Ag Museum
project underway in Heppner.
For information about
the class, sponsored by MCACC,
