NASHUA – Students at Nashua Christian Academy experienced the story of Esther firsthand during Spiritual Emphasis Week from March 10-14.

With part of the school transformed into King Xerxes’ palace and gardens, students and faculty donned elaborate costumes to be a part of the story. Each day, they discovered a new aspect of God’s character through this biblical narrative, which never actually mentions God’s name.

Games, drama and storytelling were enhanced by full-size sets that drew students ages 4-14 into this biblical adventure. The history of Esther is a perfect vehicle for learning about humility, service and courage, character traits for future leaders who will value the faith, commitment and perseverance needed to excel in every area of life.
