Studies have indicated that 75 of what an audience learns and remembers is a result of what they see, while 13 comes from what they hear. Drama puts them both together and prepares the audience with a sermon illustration that kindles their anticipation of the pastor's sermon. The majority of these mini-dramas run 3 to 5 minutes in length, with a few as long as 7 to 10 minutes. Each introduces the theme of the Gospel lesson in the Cycle A lectionary. Written with wit, wisdom, and humor, they help to plant the Gospel theme in an unforgettable, poignant, contemporary application. The scenes require minimal preparation. Few props are needed and 2 to 4 characters are involved in each sketch.
Your wonderful drama left us hungering for more. I assure you that the Lord is truly working through you.
