Three Christmas Plays and One Easter Play perfect for the small to medium sized congregation. Each only requires about fifteen performers with options to plug in more. The plays incorporate humor, drama, and the Christmas programs are set to include music if desired. "Bethlehem's Inn" tells of a young inn keeper in ancient Bethlehem who is eager to make a fortune and move. His plans to expand his inn and move are rocked when he denies a room to two very special guests. "We Got Dat" is a modern story of a storekeeper who forces his employees to work on Christmas Eve. When he discovers an employee has been facing hardships at home he reconsiders the meaning of Christmas. "The Best Christmas Play Ever" focuses on a pastor trying to put on the best Christmas play his church has ever had but can't come up with any good ideas. Finally "Jerusalem News Channel" is a humorous telling of what the events around the death and resurrection of Jesus would have been like if the modern news media had been there to cover it.

Who said small churches cannot produce quality, thought provoking Christmas programs? If you are looking for Christmas programs with a real Christian message that is designed for all stages, then this book is for you. These plays can be produced on large or small stages and are designed to make rehearsals and memorization easy. This book contains five Christmas plays and a bonus Christmas Eve Candlelight Service play: - "The Case of the Unlikely Birth" (3-4 actors) - A classic Sherlock Holmes story seeking to discover the secret of the virgin birth of the Messiah. - "What is the Reason for the Season?" (6 actors) Poor Nick feels slighted because he was born on Christmas Day. It's his birthday, but everyone else gets presents. His attitude changes when he learns the reason we celebrate Christmas. - "It's the Thought that Counts, Isn't It?" (4-5 actors) - Set as a radio drama, so there is no memorization of lines, this play centers on a mother who is upset because she did not get what she wanted for Christmas. She learns that often, God also does not get what He wants either. - "Christmas Eve Blackout" (4 actors) - This play centers around a typical family who discovers a different aspect of the Christmas story. -"The Great Late Morning Show" (3 actors) - This is a funny play that pulls audience members into the action. Through this play, the audience learns that real meaning of Christmas is personal and meant for anyone. -Bonus Play: "A Christmas Eve Candlelight Service" (2 actors) - This is a contemporary musical which draws the audience to Christ as the light of the world. In the end, the audience is encouraged to shine the Light of Jesus to a lost and dying world.

Who said small churches cannot produce quality, thought provoking Christmas programs? If you are looking for Christmas programs with a real Christian message that are designed for small stages, then this book is for you. These plays truly fit all size churches and are written in such a way as to minimize rehearsals and memorization. The book contains five plays: - "The Nativity" utilizes a liturgical format and focuses on worshiping Christ. This play works well even in churches which do not normally use formal liturgy. - "What Child is This?" is humorous yet has a strong evangelistic message. - "It's the Gift that Counts" presents an emotional presentation of the Gospel. The Christmas story is told utilizing both traditional and non-traditional Bible passages focusing on finding God's greatest gift to us. - "An Interview with Scrooge" is a hilarious play that will not only cause your audience to laugh out loud, it will challenge the audience to examine the difference between true Christianity and rote religion. - "The Christmas Surprise" is even funnier than "An Interview with Scrooge." The beauty of this play is that you cannot rehearse it. The pastor should go out of his way to advertise this play and when people ask, "who is in it and when is the rehearsal," he just replies by saying, "it's a surprise." This play seems to be random, but it has a very poignant message challenging the audience to answer God's call (be it for salvation or Christian service). In addition to the five plays, there is an interactive Church Christmas Decoration Service that can become a new Christmas tradition for those churches who do not celebrate Advent services. Also included is a chapter with helps and hints for small churches which include: - Stage Directions - Hints for Working in Small Churches - Hints for Working with Amateur Actors - Hints for Keeping the Play Moving, and - Keeping Christ in Christmas. "Remember the Reason for the Season" is not an add on cliche for these plays; Christ and the Gospel are the foundation these plays are built upon.

No Stable Too Small written by Lois Anne DeLong and has been published by this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2006-01-01 with Drama categories.
Here's a collection of humorous, down-to-earth plays that bring a fresh perspective to the Christmas story through such creative devices as imagining the thoughts and feelings of fringe characters (like an innkeeper or a servant to one of the magi) or by updating the story with contemporary settings and characters. No Stable Too Small offers a variety of practical material for any situation, ranging from shorter plays with small casts and lines that can be easily mastered by younger children to more elaborate pieces with sophisticated themes for older children and adults. And they're ideal for use with today's young people -- the dialogue reflects the way they really talk, yet never detracts from the biblical message. These flexible scenes offer a mix of speaking parts for all age groups, from preschool through adult, and are especially valuable for small congregations that lack the resources to mount large-scale productions. No sets are required, and only simple costumes and minimal props are needed. The plays can be performed by smaller churches with as few as 8-10 cast members, or parts can be easily divided to accommodate groups as large as 25-30. And with a running time of approximately 20-25 minutes each, it's easy to fit them within a Christmas Eve or Advent Sunday worship service. Some of the charming presentations include: * Love Finds a Way * It Wasn't the Hilton, You Know * Christmas Eve at Angel School * Because God Said So, That's Why * No Small Parts * "Unto Us a Child Is Born..". Next on Omar * Miracles? No Problem! ...and eight more! Lois Anne DeLong is currently a freelance writer and editor in Bay Shore, New York. She previously served 25 years in public relations, publishing, and marketing for the American Institute of Chemical Engineers. A graduate of New York University, DeLong is an active member of Brentwood Presbyterian Church in Brentwood, New York.

Every year, Christmas comes. And every year, in tiny congregations spread throughout the world, a director is stressing over the difficult task of producing a successful children's play. Realizing that church plays are often hard to produce because so few are written to meet children's needs and interests, Timothy Ayers decided to change that. Writing his own plays for the children within his church, Ayers collected his dramas into "Five Little Christmas Dramas for Today's Kids," hoping to help small churches creatively and freely encourage children to spread the message of Christmas. With titles ranging from "A Dress Rehearsal for Christmas" to "The "I Hate Christmas" Club," each drama presents a worthy reminder: The true meaning of Christmas is always found in Christ. These fun and simple dramas let small churches celebrate Christmas without mayhem and stress, and they empower children to play a pivotal role in highlighting the divine purpose of the Christmas holiday. With minimal set design and diverse roles for children of all ages, this collection of Christmas dramas will bless directors and congregations alike. Each drama has listed the approximate length of time the play will take, how many cast members are needed, props, and the stage set-up. This book also has the copy privileges included. Timothy W. Ayers recently pastored a small church in western New York. It was his first time working with a smaller body of Christians. After planting churches and working with several larger congregations, he felt the call to minister in a completely different setting. He learned a lot about the limitations of a small congregation. Tim merged two of his past literary mediums of short plays for contemporary churches and children's literature. His short plays, "Living Parables," written to illustrate the Sunday service messages were published by CSS Publishing, and his middle reader series, " Spinechillers Mysteries." From these two loves came "Five Little Christmas Dramas for Today's Kids." It is Ayers' desire that churches around the world can tell this marvelous story of the birth of our Savior through relevant, fun, and easy-to-produce holiday plays.

It can be challenging for small churches to have a positive presence in their communities, especially when pursuing creative ways to spread the gospel. And it can be difficult for small groups with even smaller budgets to stand out, so what can a small church do to attract and inspire young believers? In A Dramatic Ministry for Small Churches, author Holly Langster shares a collection of inspiring and entertaining dramatic plays that are perfect for a small church that needs something to engage and encourage its attendees—especially kids! Noticing that there was nothing out there for her small church, Holly brought drama into the church life and used it to build a community ministry. She offers several scripts and helpful tips for anyone starting a drama program in their own church. It doesn’t take a big church to perform a big play, and A Dramatic Ministry for Small Churches can help small churches discover a new and dramatic way to excite young believers about the gospel message. And as more and more people get involved, these small churches will grow and grow, inspiring the next generation and bringing more people to Christ.

The Christmas Star is a potpourri of holiday gifts for those planning worship -- this charming collection includes three plays and five brief meditations suitable for reading during services or for use in bulletins and newsletters. The play The Gifts Of Christmas is a humorous take on the traditional Christmas pageant in which three teenagers try to decide what to get their grandmother for Christmas, only to discover that the gift she really desires is the Christmas story (enacted in the customary fashion). The "Did Someone Forget To Plan" The Christmas Pageant! provides you with the ultimate no-fuss, no-hassle way for your children to simply share the nativity story without the usual headaches. For older youth and adults there's The Fourth Wise Man, an offbeat piece imagining what an additional wise man might have been like. Each presentation is simple for small churches to produce, with minimal costumes and props required. Insightful and scripturally sound, The Christmas Star is a wonderful package that you won't be able to resist!
