Book Synopsis Nativity Dramas: The Third Season by : Keith Hewitt
Download or read book Nativity Dramas: The Third Season written by Keith Hewitt and published by CSS Publishing Company. This book was released on 2012-06-01 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Keith Hewitt is back with a third volume of clever nativity dramas in which he adapts biblical Christmas stories to popular television programs. In the same way Jesus communicated in a context that people of his time could relate to, Hewitt presents four sharp-witted takeoffs on something our culture can "really" relate to -- TV. The humorous treatments of these biblical narratives will hold people's attention and breathe new life into traditional nativity texts. All four plays are specifically designed to be produced in churches and can be easily staged by congregations of almost any size. Props are simple and easy to find. The four plays in this third volume are popular television shows from right now: "Psyched in Bethlehem" (45 minutes) "Everybody Loves Joseph" (45 minutes) "Big Bang Bethlehem" (50 minutes) "Burned in Bethlehem" (40 minutes) "These dramas are delightful and bring a down-to-earth perspective, drawing on everyday life experiences through various television shows. It is a pleasure to see someone bring a refreshing aspect of God's message through creative mediums such as these. "Pastor Dan Verdegan Wilmot United Methodist Church "We have been doing Keith Hewitt's plays for two years now. I love them, and I want to encourage him to keep writing the plays. Our church family loves them but more importantly we have been able to get people from the community in so that we can share God's word with them.

Download or read book Nativity Dramas written by Keith Hewitt and published by CSS Publishing. This book was released on 2007 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everyone knows the nativity story -- the inn, the stable, and all the rest. If your traditional Christmas pageant has become a bit stale and you want to give it new life, this collection of engaging plays is sure to fit your needs. Keith Hewitt gives the usual narrative a modern treatment by adapting characters and settings from four popular television series (Blue's Clues, CSI, Cops, and Trading Spaces) and transferring them to the events in Bethlehem. By twisting the lens a little to change the focus, these sketches tell how common people are affected by incredible events. Audiences will love these entertaining programs, and they'll have fun watching the characters as they learn a valuable lesson. All four plays are specifically designed to be produced in churches, and can be easily staged by congregations of almost any size. There are roles suitable for a range of ages from kindergarten through adult, allowing you to involve the whole congregation in the production. "Ewe's Clues" is intended primarily for younger children (although adults and older children will also enjoy it) and has a running time of approximately 30 minutes. "Cops: Bethlehem," "CSI: Bethlehem," and "Trading Spaces: Bethlehem" each have a running time of approximately 45 minutes, and are designed for older audiences (though children will get something out of them as well). Keith Hewitt is a youth leader at Wilmot United Methodist Church in Wilmot, Wisconsin, and in his "day job" is a quality analyst. He is a graduate of the University of Wisconsin - Green Bay.
Book Synopsis Two Nativity Dramas by : Edward S. Long
Download or read book Two Nativity Dramas written by Edward S. Long and published by CSS Publishing Company. This book was released on 1984-06 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Either of the two dramas in this book are suitable for use as a Sunday church school Christmas program, a special Christmas season worship service (hymns may be added), or a program for a youth group or other church organization during the Advent or Christmas season. Either can be produced with simple props, and parts can either be read or recited from memory. The Tinsel Time Machine is a charming Christmas fantasy in the style of H.G. Wells. An unlikely contraption proves capable of transporting members of a disillusioned Midwestern family to other times and places at the Christmas season. Rag Doll Number Thirty-Seven tells the story of an aging couple who create and give away a homemade gift of love each Christmas season -- a rag doll, intended for someone in special need. Edward S. Long is pastor of First United Church of Christ, Hamilton, Ohio. A graduate of Elmhurst (Illinois) College and Eden Theological Seminary, he has earned a Doctor of Ministry from the latter institution. He has served as a counselor for Pastoral Counseling Service, Hamilton, Ohio; trustee for United Campus Ministry, Miami University (Ohio); and president of the Hamilton-Fairfield Ministerial Association.

Book excerpt: "This 'new' play is about 700 years old. It was first written down about 1340 A.D. when it was part of The York Cycle of Mystery plays. Thereafter it was performed every year for 300 years. Oddly whenever this version has been presented in modern times it has also tended to become an annual community event. Seldom is it possible to offer a play of such extraordinary quality"--Cover.

Download or read book The Word Became Flesh written by Shirley M. Wickland and published by CSS Publishing. This book was released on 1998-06 with total page 19 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This 25-minute Christmas Nativity pageant tells the story of Jesus Christ from creation to present day. The birth of Christ is seen as an event with a much wider scope than an incident that occurred long ago in Bethlehem. This drama is unique in highlighting Jesus' birth as part of the greater picture of God's activity throughout history: in creation, in the words of the prophets, in the cross, in the resurrection, and in our world today. The Word Became Flesh provides drama that is biblically sound, educational, and thought-provoking. Shirley M.

She is an honors graduate from Milwaukee School of Engineering with a Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering.

Book Synopsis The Promise Fulfilled by : David M. Allison
Download or read book The Promise Fulfilled written by David M. Allison and published by . This book was released on 2014-08-19 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: His story changed the world: Jesus -- born to Mary and Joseph, worshiped as Savior by the Magi and the shepherds who had found him through divine guidance. We do not dispute the significance of their part in Jesus' story. We marvel at their obedience. We sing songs recounting their trust and their faith. But if we dare allow ourselves to peer just a bit deeper into the pages of scripture, extending just beyond the edges of the nativity story, we find the embodiment of patience and faithfulness -- Simeon and Anna, a prophet and a prophetess, who waited for the arrival of the Messiah with an unwavering expectation. It is a story that reminds us that a hope placed in God does not disappoint. In seven scenes, "The Promise Fulfilled" presents a simple drama, intertwining the familiar details of the Christmas story with the steadfast hope of Simeon and Anna. Drawing upon the gospel accounts of Matthew and Luke and using extended scripture readings, "The Promise Fulfilled" invites cast and audience members to marvel at the events surrounding Christ's birth, taking us into the expected while challenging us to look beyond the well-told storyline found within the walls of the nativity. Simple to learn and powerful to present, this short drama will allow youth groups and adult drama teams to develop a rich understanding of the events leading up to Christ's birth. Easily adaptable for Bible studies and children's lessons, "The Promise Fulfilled" offers a fresh perspective to a story that has been changing hearts for over 2,000 years, ushering us into the Advent season with a subtle and powerful proclamation: a transformed world requires an enduring faithfulness anchored in Christian love. Twelve copies of this play are needed for production and copy privileges are included. This is David Allison's first book with CSS Publishing. Pastor Allison received his master of ministry degree from Mount Vernon Nazarene University. Currently Allison is head pastor at Havens Corners Church. He has also been bi-vocational and youth pastor at Havens Corners Church. Allison is married to Karla and they have one grown son. Some of David's interests are golf, chess, and landscaping.
