Acting on God’s Word

A Collection of Dramatic Readings for Worship

Drama is a powerful tool to bring Scripture to life. Whether you have a small or large group it is an effective way of inviting your congregation to engage with a Bible passage in a new and creative way.

Here are a few helpful tips to remember:

• Seek out and involve those in your church community who have dramatic experience to enhance the process.
• Using props and simple costume pieces isn’t necessary, but may help a reluctant group to get into character and read the words with greater inflection.
• Encourage participants to reflect together and share their ideas and insights each time you gather.
