Sunday Morning Readers' Theater
19 Congregational Worship Resources, Cycle A
Pamela Urfer

A fresh look at scripture, a new presentation of the gospel, a deeper communication for God's truth-this is what church drama has to offer.

Sunday Morning Readers' Theater, A, offers 19 skits for use during the church year. Each skit's performance lasts between 5 and 10 minutes with the exception of the readings for major church days.

This series provides one more form of worship designed to unfold the meaning of selected readings, either as a replacement for or a supplement to the sermon. The style varies from comic to tragic and the skits are set in both biblical and modern times.

Readings include the Sundays of Advent and Lent, Christmas Eve/Day, Martin Luther King, Jr. Sunday, Ash Wednesday, Holy Week selections, Pentecost Sunday, and All Saints' Sunday.

Pamela Urfer, Soquel, California, has written a number of plays for school and church productions. She has taught classes in church drama at Bethany Bible College and Mount Hermon Christian Conference Center. She holds a master of arts degree in literature from the University of California.
