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.

Download Two Nativity Dramas Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
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.

Download The Word Became Flesh Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
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.

Download The York Nativity Play Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
"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 Nativity Dramas: The Third Season Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
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.
