Have you ever had a Roman soldier rock up to church on Sabbath morning? On 15 March, 2014, Wes Pudsey, member of Hoxton Park Church, donned the garb of a Roman soldier and told the story of Jesus on the cross from a soldier’s perspective. He ultimately admitted, “truly He was the Son of God.” Wes then had all of the little “soldiers” to stand at attention and as “payment” for their day’s work, they were rewarded with a gold coin. As Wes said, “unfortunately he couldn’t find coins full of gold, but ones that had chocolate in the centre would have to do.” The kids loved it and so did the adults.
