Unionville-based singing group God’s Squad performed Sunday evening at Sheridan Christian Church, teaching a lesson on running the race. It consists of sixteen performers, all from ages 12 to 18.
The play consists of a group of athletes who sign up to run the race after accepting Jesus as their savior. Entry is free, but there is a catch — they have to leave their baggage behind. One who didn’t found out the hard way that he couldn’t go on and had to leave it behind.
Other rules are simple — they had to periodically drink water at the stations provided, and they had to follow the compass. Various scenes depicted what happened to people who didn’t. One girl was exhausted because she had not been drinking the water provided.
Throughout the race, there were unscrupulous people who tempted the athletes to make bad choices. One tempted them to stray off the path. Another tempted them to stay a while and play cards instead of running the race. Of course, one game easily turned into many. Another person tempted them to despair because she had seen it all and there was nothing new under the sun.
There were no winners or losers in the race, because the goal was to finish the race and overcome all the different temptations and obstacles thrown in the way.
