Twenty-Five Cent Ministry

A simple but bright orange robe, discarded years earlier and now found at a church bazaar sale, makes an incredible journey of ministry. Trisha buys the robe for twenty-five cents, and on a wild whim, wears it to meet her daughter's future in-laws. She gives the "lucky" robe to them and it provides a comic moment, one which leads to them talking again to get their marriage back on track. Soon they give the robe to Chyna, a lonely newcomer at church. Hard to miss while wearing the robe, Chyna meets new friends and she soon gives it to Jackie, who is ill. The robe "inspires" Jackie to seek needed medical treatment. From Jackie the robe is accidentally given to a grieving widower, George. He finds it was the original robe he gave his beloved wife so many years ago and is so comforted by the fact that soon he is willing to give the robe to someone else. There's a knock at George's door and it looks as if the robe has more ministering to do. Performance time: 30 minutes.
