The Special-Needs Scrim

Sarah Broady
March 29, 2024

scrimThe sanctuary was dark. The air was thick with grief, tension, and anticipation of what we all knew was coming next. But nothing prepared me for what my eyes were about to behold. I was watching our church’s Easter pageant from the middle of the large auditorium. We had just witnessed the Passion of Jesus as He had been tortured and crucified. The scene was dark, the people quiet. Suddenly, a bright light shone from the stage, illuminating a massive wall of angels from the ground to the ceiling, lined across the entire width of the stage. They were all wearing white and singing with choreography. I couldn’t help but cry at the sight. It was beautiful. But I wondered, how did they do that?!

The secret? A scrim. The image above shows a crucifixion scene set up behind the scrim that is only visible to the audience when lit from behind. If the light behind the scrim was not on, all you would see is the Roman soldier in the blue light, lit by a spotlight in front of the scrim.

Read more about the scrim of disability and the work God is doing behind the scenes at my writing home today, Special Needs Parenting.

How do you see God at work in the heart of your child with disability?

    Have you ever considered about including a little bit more than just your articles?
    I mean, what you say is important and everything.
    However imagine if you added some great graphics or video clips to give your posts more,
    “pop”! Your content is excellent but with images and video clips, this site
    could undeniably be one of the very best in its field.
    Terrific blog!

    write in my diary on a daily basis. I’d like to start a
    blog so I can easily share my personal experience and thoughts online.

    owners. Thankyou!

    I’m amazed, I must say. Seldom do I encounter a blog that’s
    both equally educative and entertaining, and without a doubt, you have hit the nail on the head.
    The problem is something that too few people are speaking intelligently about.
    I’m very happy I stumbled across this during my hunt for something regarding
    this.
