A Christmas of Poetry
Poignant yet powerful, sentimental yet scriptural, "A Christmas of Poetry" features 5 original free-verse poems and Scripture readings. This heartfelt piece can be read by one or two people. We've included some song suggestions as well if you'd like to add a musical element!
Hebrews Hall of Faith
A virtual “Hall of Faith” is created as Hebrews chapter 11 is read aloud. As each Old Testament hero is mentioned, participants silently gather on stage. Each one holds a poster displaying their name and faithful deed. The result is a grouping of “Bible Greats” in present day form.
An Advent Service of Candles & Carols
This wonderful grouping of responsive scripture readings conveys the sacred beauty of the Advent story. Includes carols for congregational singing. Can be produced in weekly Advent candle lightings or as a 27 minute service.
After the Rooster
A contemporary look at Simon Peter, "The Rock," who denied the Lord but found forgiveness.
Trial By Pilate
Jesus' trial before Pilate is revisited, as readings from the Old and New Testaments answer Pilate's questions.
Lego People
This touching reader's theater examines the effect of divorce on children: "They said they were getting a divorce. I remember seeing my Lego set in the corner of the room and thinking, 'I wish I was a Lego person; they're made to come apart.'"
Get a Life
This reader's theater piece is written for two readers but can be performed by more. It is a touching exploration of the places we look for love while ignoring God's still, small voice telling us, "You're wonderful. I love you."
Cry Glory!
This is a dramatic reading, primarily of Scripture, focusing on God's glory. It is a powerful display of the power of God through numerous Scripture references.
