Excerpt
Sermons for the busy pastor needing a place to start in sermon preparation or additional thoughts to add substance to Sunday's message. Each book in the series provides 25 to 30 outlines. While these fully-developed outlines are designed to be used in series preaching, most can be adapted for stand-alone sermons. Every sermon outline is directed to the needs of today's congregants-to challenge, inspire, and motivate to service for Christ and His Kingdom. As the pastor develops these outlines through further research and personal illustrations, the resulting sermons will become effective channels for spiritual life and growth.

 No Stable Too Small: 14 Christmas Plays For Churches of All Sizes
Lois A. DeLong, Barbara A. Antonucci
Retail Price: $15.95
CBD Price: $13.99
( In Stock )
Excerpt
Here's a collection of humorous, down-to-earth plays that bring a fresh perspective to the Christmas story through such creative devices as imagining the thoughts and feelings of fringe characters (like an innkeeper or a servant to one of the magi) or by updating the story with contemporary settings and characters. No Stable Too Small offers a variety of practical material for any situation, ranging from shorter plays with small casts and lines that can be easily mastered by younger children to more elaborate pieces with sophisticated themes for older children and adults. And they're ideal for use with today's young people -- the dialogue reflects the way they really talk, yet never detracts from the biblical message.
These flexible scenes offer a mix of speaking parts for all age groups, from preschool through adult, and are especially valuable for small congregations that lack the resources to mount large-scale productions. No sets are required, and only simple costumes and minimal props are needed. The plays can be performed by smaller churches with as few as 8-10 cast members, or parts can be easily divided to accommodate groups as large as 25-30. And with a running time of approximately 20-25 minutes each, it's easy to fit them within a Christmas Eve or Advent Sunday worship service.
