Synopsis | Feel | Author |
| Matthew Six | Matthew 6; Prayer; Storing up Treasures in Heaven | 2M 2F 5 or more E | A mom teaches her two children about serving God from a pure heart and not for selfish motives. This drama has been written for children or children/adults. The lines are very easy to learn because they often echo what the Narrator says. | D | Nancy Bond |
| Volunteers? | Learning to Say "No"; Comparing Yourself; Motives | 2M 2F 2C 1NM | Hilariously Funny!! Two moms are with their sons who have volunteered to help with a bake sale to raise money for a local children’s hospital. The audience is able to hear what each person says, as well as their “real” thoughts! Through some mental maneuvering, the sons get to take the day off with their “dream” girl, while the mom’s are stuck manning the bake sale. | C |
