Watchers on the Hill

Act I: “The Cross Carrier”

Simon of Cyrene, an unwilling participant in the execution of Jesus, tries to rid himself of the weight of the cross he’s carrying.

The hill called Golgotha was not empty that Friday. Along with the crosses and the men dying upon them, there were witnesses—watchers on that ancient hill. Who were they? What did they see and hear in Jesus’ final hours?

Come with us to the foot of the cross and be a witness, too. Stand among his enemies. Linger with his friends. Rediscover through the stories of 16 unforgettable characters the reality of Jesus’ death, the magnitude of his sacrifice and the miracle of our own salvation.

WATCHERS ON THE HILL was written by King of Kings member Elaine Aadland and has been performed in churches throughout the country. We have been blessed to have this compelling dramatic work be a major focus of our Drama Ministry.
