These 11 short, easily-staged plays for congregational use provide a tool to raise the level of commitment in your congregation regarding matters of hunger, poverty, and homelessness. They can be used in numerous ways—private reading, personal devotions, or group study. Though like all dramas these were written for the purpose of performance, so you are encouraged to producer a director and some willing actors and perform the play in as many settings as you are able. As is true with so many things in faith and life, the whole is greater than the individual parttext coming soon.
