Which drama is right for your church Christmas service?

Carol Service Prayers – Making Dark Places Sparkly
The days are short and the wind cold,
and in our houses there are dark, shadowy corners.
But with love and hope
help us to bathe our world in sparkle and wonder.
Easy Last Minute Drama for your Christmas Services
It’s not too late to use one of these two scripts in your Christmas service. One is a monologue, one a two-hander, scripts can be held and improvisation wouldn’t hurt. Go on, cheer up your church!
Advent Candle Readings – Future, Justice, Joy, Peace
Short advent-candle lighting scripts with weekly themes of the future, justice, joy and peace.
Advent Candle Readings – Expectation, Preparation, Justice, Joy
Short advent-candle lighting scripts with weekly themes of expectation, preparation, justice and joy.
Prayers for Second Sunday of Advent
On the second Sunday of Advent the candle lighting script is based on the theme of preparation, and the intercessions ask God to prepare us to reach out to this world.
(Second Sunday of Advent Year C)

Have an ethical Christmas!
Could ethical gifts give you a new perspective this Christmas? As the economic conditions continue to looks gloomy and the factories of southern China struggle to cater for all our crazy advertisement-fuelled whims this festive season, the ethical gift catalogues blossom. Here is a pick.

The pantomime of Christmas stamps
Over the past few years a manufactured and misplaced Christian outrage has dampened the happiness of the modern Christmas tradition of the Christmas Stamp.
