Abiding in the Fields

The angels who announced the coming of the Messiah proclaimed it first to some simple shepherds abiding in the fields. Here is a very special Christmas play that reminds us that sometimes the church must reach out to those in the streets around us. Bo Miles, a new Christian with a worldly past, is anxious to help with the church's outdoor nativity. The other members, who feel too busy to help, are glad to let Bo handle the job until his disreputable street friends create problems. But Bo shows everyone the true mission of the church and at the end, the local bag lady turns into the best angel a modern day nativity ever had. Performance time: About 40 minutes.
