About this title

Synopsis

These brief 3- to 5-minute skits provide an effective introduction for a talk or sermon. Other uses are for family night programs, Bible study introductions, youth meetings, and special times of the year such as Mother's Day, Father's Day, and Easter. A topical index lists dozens of subjects the skits address: from aging, business practices, children, and friendship to lying, marriage, mid-life crisis, relationships, and work.

The index lists over 100 topics:
• The dysfunctional marriage/relationship
• Stressful living
• Ethics and reputations
• McChurch -- church attendance
• Easter service
• 1-900-Midlife (crisis)
• Mother's Day
• Cults
... and dozens more!

These clever, witty, inspirational skits will inspire discussion and promote deeper faith and commitment.

From the Author

Many years of worship dramas
Hi, I'm Tim Ayers, the author of Living Parables. Thanks for taking the time to check out my collection of short dramas designed to raise a question that the pastor can answer in his message. These 25 dramas are a culmination of many years in the pastorate. I wrote them to illustrate a topic or subject. Most are done with my tongue in my cheek and others will purposefully hit a strong emotional chord. If you have a drama team or want to start one then these 25 short dramas will work for you. They're written for the church without a large stage but a simple platform. They aren't long and it doesn't take an Academy Award Winner to act them out. Let me know how they work for you.
