Christmas Play Titled:"Christ What Would You Love For Your Birthday?"

There are a dozen other Churches and then there are Wayside Christian Missions housing for the homless. The Lou'a'vull Hotel on 2nd and Broadway . Yjere an abused woman with her small children can stay there for free or for a $1 a night. For sae House. Away from battered sponses.

The Christmas Bulletin has all the things that the inmates on paprole can do to for their community service. They can do volunteer work at any of the frree soup kitchens all around the city. The Salvation Army has one and St. Vincent Depaul and The Lor's Kitchen are know for the areas East West North and South. So all homeless can eat and their children can recieve Christmas food basket donated by Food For Harvest and Dare To Care Agencys. They passed their Thanksgiving and Christmas baskets out two days before the Holidays. So some needy families are able to cook their own Thanksgiving and Christmas Dinners. Thank you Christ Jesus. "AMEN Church?" "AMEN" they all bowed their heads for the parayers all around the city.

Act Four...... scene Four....... Santa Claus back on stage begging Christ to forgive him for stealing his birthday at Christmas.

Bully one "I sick of you Santa You are back again? You already denied Christ three times just like in the Bible The King James Version. You know that is what Judas done and he gave Christ away to those bad men who come to take our Lord Savior away. It's your fault to to be following the Deciever of the World that Lucifer is no good to mankind"

Bully two "We gonna jump Santa and teach him a lesson about stealing somebody else's idenity" as they both knock Santa down and kick and stomp on Santa Claus in the Blue Suit?

Pastor Fleming "That part was not in the 'play we rehearsed months ago. Who changed it?"

Brotha Travis looks over at Sistah Sapphire and they both roll their eyes at each other. 

The whole Congregation now feels this 'play about to get some more shockers

Brotha Travis gets up and goes to the back. Back there to help to place the Christmas toys and to help wrap up unwrapped gifts. For the Church's Angel Tree. That is what the Salavation Army donated to Their Church. Toys bought by rich families to help the poor have a real Christmas.

So after the whole 'play is over The Youth Choir participants get first choice for participating in The Holiday Program.

Brothas Travis "There is a gift for everybody" and he hands one to the Church janitor who thought he would be left out of gift giving?

"Here Brotha Keith, you get something. Just because you a janitor does not mean you gonna be left out> Don't forget Christ was a Carpenter" as the two shook hands and gave Christmas hugs

WOW! The Holiday Dinner food is starting to send good aromas out into the Sanctuary. The Congregation getting hungry from smelling that homemade dressing. Christmas Dinner is just like Thanksgiving Dinner. With all the trimmings.

Turkey, dressing, homemade rolls, sliced honey hams, Mac& Cheese, Sweet Potatoes, Fresh Greens, seasoning hamhocks, white bean soup, buttermilk cornbread, corn pudding and mashed potatoes, black-eyes peas, fried cabbage and skillet fried corn. Toss Salad Lemon cake Caramel Cake and Brotha Travis's Pumpkin Cheese Cake Cupcakes and more feast on the banquet tables with red table cloths and red candles and the smell of spice incense fills the air."hmmmm"

Act four....scene four....

"Christ What Would You Love For Your Birthday?" a little group of dressed sheppards come on stage and tell the two bullies to stop embarassing themselves in front of Christ That Christ don't put on a show for anybody. That he is real and that the gospel is real and that God is real and that being love is real and feeling a broken heart is real.

Christmas Sheppards "Christ deserves better because he brought love and grace and miracles with him and he healed the sick and he was born in a manger. While it was cold and there was no room at the Inn."

Congregation "AMEN" as they had tears
