  • Sheep Will Be Scattered

    $7.95

    The Sheep Will Be Scattered is an impressive Maundy Thursday communion service. It involves the symbolic recreation of the Upper Room experience through an easy-to-create Last Supper tableau.

    Members of the congregation, invited beforehand, make up the tableau.

    The service focuses on the tensions and circumstances surrounding the disciples on this night. It encourages worshipers to identify with those tensions in their own faith lives.

    Elements include a suggested order of service, a brief commentary, introduction of each guest at the table, holy communion, a reading from Mark (for one to three voices), and a conclusion. The reading is the NRSV of Mark 14:26-50.

  • Come Sing And Celebrate

    $7.95

    Here are two delightful Christmas plays for a special celebration with your parish’s children, youth, and adults.

    The Night Love Was Born by Mary Jane Mulder is a contemporary re-enactment, in word and song, of the first Christmas story, set within the world of imagination — where even a cynical toy soldier can learn the true meaning of Christmas.

    Angels We Have Heard on High Street by J. Richard Coyle is a modern version of the Gospel’s account of Christ’s birth, using contemporary characters who present their message in music and mime. Parts are involved for participants of all ages, and congregational involvement is required. Staging and production are flexible, and can accommodate abundant or limited resources. Performance time is also flexible.

  • Darkest Day

    $7.95

    The centerpiece of this Good Friday worship service is the monologue, The Ghost of Judas. Designed to be presented by the pastor or any lay-person who can speak with a sense of drama, the monologue places Judas Iscariot at center stage on the day Christ died.

    The monologue is sermon length. If not available in local hymnals, suggested hymns may be replaced by others more appropriate.

Through their eyes we see some of the major events of the Gospel, in particular those final days in the life of Jesus.
