When we pray do we talk naturally friend to friend, or asking "Santa favors"? Or just the same old rote method of "doing prayer"? What if we are praying, and since God hears every prayer, and pays attention, (as He always does), . . What would happen if He immediately answers back? Do we maybe react with . . . "Hey God, I am really too busy for small talk . ..  can you fix me up…

Simeon greets the Christ child at the temple. Mary and Joseph present baby Jesus for His dedication ceremony. Feelings of fulfillment, glory, profound joy, prophecy, love, and the Holy Spirit. Simeon had been told by God that before he died he would meet the long-promised Messiah.  Alhough the Messiah came as a baby and not the mighty warrior people had hoped for, when the baby Jesus came to the temple that day with His young parents, Simeon…

Jesus is dead, those nearest to him mourning, each in their own way. Set in the time when all likely somewhat doubting, that between the crucifixion and resurrection, some of the principal characters of Easter reflect on what the life and death of Jesus means to them. This script was written by a dear friend Dorothy Kraljev. I wrote her a note recently and we shed a tear together as she, her husband and my wife all…

       

Pentecost, when God created His church on earth. The plan, the mystery, the personal nature of salvation, now for all peoples, regardless of gender, race, religion, social status, even for those who at this moment have no desire for God in their lives.

A subject often avoided by new, even experienced Christians.…

Community. Dictionary explains it this way: A group of people living in the same place or having a particular characteristic in common. Throughout God's creation we see examples of what community means, or at least what it should mean, even in the animal kingdom. That being the case shouldn't humans, God's centrepiece in His amazing creation endeavour, be the essence of cooperation and support? Even, (or especially), when the world is tackling a scary global pandemic? We…

There is the final game of the Little League World Series being played and all is well . . Pitcher is the one and only star on the team, but that’s all that’s needed since she not only has never had one of her pitches hit EVER, and she also has hit three home runs in the game. This assures victory . . . well, almost assures victory. But also in the outfield are three Angels, three…

Angels visit Mary and Joseph and brought news from God himself, how would they, (or we if it happened to us), likely react?  Amazing how the reactions of the two who were about to be married could act so positively under such life-changing circumstances. This reading is easily staged, but needs to be carefully rehearsed, can be adapted to more or less of the stated 16 readers. We suggest some training for the readers, see DramaShare's DramaClub…
