Christmas Through Our Eyes: Three Plays for Youth

Authors: Rebecca Burgey, Rebecca Hunsberger

When the Senior High Sunday School class at Saint John Center Lutheran Church in East Earl, Pennsylvania, couldn’t find a Christmas play to suit their needs, they decided to write and perform their own. Their play was so well received that in succeeding years they wrote two more. These plays, compiled as a Sunday school class project by Rebecca Bergey and Rebecca Hunsinger, present a youthful perspective on God’s message through the Christmas story.

Three Foolish Men tells the story of three men who are still looking for the baby Jesus. Their escapades as they search for the promised Messiah are both enlightening and amusing.

A Home for Christmas centers on a homeless couple searching for a warm place to spend the night. They, as well as the members of the church they wander into, receive a surprise gift.

A Little Child Shall Lead Them takes a humorous look at how not to celebrate Christmas. It is the child next door who finally brings the true meaning of Christmas to his newfound friends.
