A Declaration for My King
Drama 2011
May 5-7 beginning at 7:00 p.m.

But He knows the way that I take; when He has tested me, I will come forth as gold. - Job 23:10

Coulee Christian School Cross Examination is proud to present our production of A Declaration for My King, a play written by a group of our students.  The drama is based on the story of Job.  It takes place in the mid 1980s with flashback scenes in the Great Depression era.  The main character, Veronica "Ronnie" Hamill, is a somewhat rebellious teenager who loves art.  Her father recently lost his job, so her mother is working overtime to make up for finances.  Unfortunately, Ronnie is getting lost in all of it.  She truly believes that she has become invisible - in her family, at school, and life in general - and that the only way people will see her is through the art she creates.

Ronnie starts falling behind in her schoolwork - most notably, a history assignment to interview a senior citizen.  Her teacher, Mr. Gallagher, arranges for Ronnie to interview a man named Charles Stockley, who is a resident of a local nursing home.  Charlie was the president of a reputable bank and his family was greatly affected by the stock market crash of 1929.  Through the interview, Charlie shares his story with Ronnie - how God blessed his lfie, how he trusted God when things got difficult, and how God used the difficult situations to take him down a different path.

Ronnie is affected by the story she hears.  She is amazed that someone can go from being so successful and happy to being someone who has lost virtually everything - yet unwaveringly maintains his trust in God.  She starts asking questions about faith and realizes that, even though she sees herself as being invisible, God sees her as His precious child, His daughter.  Ronnie gives her life to Christ, and her life becomes a declaration for her King.
