This drama is a wake up call to the Church. Its attempt is to get us all up and working for God. Too many Christians are content to do nothing and take no risks for Christ. This is not our purpose. We are called to serve.
Some background follows:
This drama is essentially a monologue with a brief introduction by a second cast member. How it is presented will depend on each individual situation. I suggest it be presented either as the message or as a lead in to a brief message and/or appeal. The intent is to get everyone's attention so given the initial shock value of the drama, it may be wise to either have the main actor seated in the first few pews before the service begins or have him/her enter the church and wander up to the first few pews and take a seat during the service later. The choice is yours.
2nd Actor or layperson: Good morning ( or afternoon/evening ). This dramatisation is all about Christian involvement. How many of us ever wonder what happens when we Christians do not get involved in the world around us? (pause). Better yet what will happen if we do get involved? (pause) Jesus commanded his disciples in the Gospel of Matthew, Chapter 28 and verse 19, to go and make disciples of all the nations, so, (stress this) if we are Christians and disciples of Jesus, are we not also called to go and make disciples of all the nations? (pause). Are we doing this for Jesus? Are we really doing just this?
