Letter From The Drama Desk
Welcome!
With the wonder of Christmas and the excitement of a New Year just behind us, we are fast approaching the most dramatic of the Christian holidays: Easter. From
the Triumphal Entry to the Last Supper, from the prayers in the garden to the stone rolling away, this is a time that inspired countless plays and musicals, not to mention an entire theatrical movement called Passion Plays.
In this issue we hope to capture some of that drama by providing sketches and readings for the entire Passion Week. Yet, even as I reread these sketches, I am struck by the drama behind the scripts the dramatic choice of a loving God and the actions of his only begotten Son. That real-life drama makes all our efforts to capture it through theater but a pale reflection; God is great, to God be the glory.
So as you prepare to serve your congregations this season, I encourage you to take time to
meditate on the depth of the gift God has given us. Before performing your sketch, spend some serious time in prayer as a team-thanking God, praising Jesus and humbling yourselves before the Lord. Then, as you perform, stand back and allow the glory of God to shine through you!Sincerely,
Sean Gaffney
