Drama in worship

Drama used to tell scripture isn't just form the Children's Ministries. Westminster's Players are volunteer actors who use their gifts to enhance the a sermon message. While sometimes it is a dramatic scripture reading, the players also perform full-length plays.

Some of the recent presentations include:

Women's Voices

This original drama is performed by four women and is presented on Good Friday. Four women give their perspective of the Passion story as one worries over a tortured son, another is a simple servant girl who hears whispers of trials and denials, another is a wife whose dream causes her to beg her husband change his decision, and a demonized woman who is set free only to be haunt by Jesus' death. Their stories speak to our own lives where darkness and doubt crowd into our lives and where we desperately yearn for the holy, healing touch.

A Christmas Tale

A timeless tale, this holiday musical drama involves a troop of story tellers who gather to communicate a miraculous true story; a story entitled, "Christmas."

Pilate on the Beach

Pilate on the Beach is a memory play which moves back and forth between the present and the past retelling the events that led to the death of Jesus. The viewer feels the passion and intensity of Pilate’s guilt and turmoil as he struggles, like many of us, with whom Jesus was and is. Pilate on the Beach is presented during Holy Week
