These meditations for Lent and Easter are a serialized Tenebrae service. A reader extinguishes one candle each Sunday of Lent after presenting a third-person account about these characters: 1.

These charming, kid-friendly children's sermons are told from the standpoint of animals and insects who witnessed the first Easter.

Biblical monologues with Lenten candles
By: Bradley N. Hill
(Duration: 8 scenes, 2-3 minutes per scene; Speaking Cast: 1 female, 3 males, 4-17 total cast)
Characters walk from the pages of Scripture into your sanctuary to express how their lives overlapped and intertwined with Jesus in the wake of his impending crucifixion. Their feelings range from skepticism to grief, but all were deeply affected by the man Jesus and his ministry. Each character extinguishes one candle every week to symbolize a growing darkness...  read more
BITTER WITH THE SWEET
By: Patricia Mock, Arranger: Bobbi Heastings, Author: Charles Orr
This heartfelt lyric from our treasury of hymn literature is not often set. A new melody adds a contemporary sensibility in this version, and the well-designed arrangement is filled with beautiful moments to explore expressiveness. A gently supportive piano part weaves a tender spirit throughout this worshipful anthem for Lent, communion or anytime.
THE BURDEN
A Lenten drama
By: Greg L. Sullivan
(Duration: 15 minutes; Speaking Cast: 2 males, 1 either, 3 total cast)
Burdens both literal and figural are central to this short drama. A man encumbered by a heavy bag slowly trudges toward his destination of “freedom.” He struggles under the weight of his failures and bad memories. Then he meets the Liberator, a Christ figure, who offers to help shoulder the load, but says , “I can’t take it from you—you have to give it to me.” A...  read more
THE CASE OF THE CONSPICUOUS CROSS
A Lenten play for youth
By: Keith Ellerbrock
(Duration: 20 minutes; Speaking Cast: 1 female, 2 males, 6 either, 9 total cast)
We all have crosses to bear—but none as obvious as Sam's. It's huge, it's cumbersome and it's inconvenient. Humor ensues as Jesus asks him to carry it throughout his day and he reluctantly agrees. First stop: work. His boss observes, "Ever since you got that cross, you haven't been making the kind of deals that put the company ahead." He loses a promotion. Then...  read more
