Planting Seeds

Seeing our thoughts and feelings acted out onstage can be a very powerful experience. Because we readily identify with the characters we watch — their hopes and dreams as well as their frustrations and failures — dramatic presentations hold up a mirror that lets us see things about ourselves we often overlook.

With this compelling anthology of 24 sketches, you can open the eyes of worshipers to God’s truth and grace while planting dynamic seeds of change. Each scene is about five minutes in length and serves not only as a potent visual illustration but also helps congregations receive and retain major themes presented in the sermon. Appropriate for any denomination and audience, these easy-to-stage pieces utilize small casts and can be performed in any setting with minimal costumes and a few simple props, making them accessible to church drama groups of all sizes. In addition to sermon starter sketches, there are dramas appropriate for women’s and men’s retreats plus several monologues.
