This little play portrayed several vignettes dealing with special deliveries: letters delivered to loved ones from far away. The theme was that these people all wished to be with their loved ones during the Christmas season.

David did an excellent job of narration and set the stage for each of the reader/characters to follow.

Our first letter reader was Jim Weiss (a former soldier in Vietnam) reading a letter from his mother when he was in Vietnam in December of 1966 to his grandchildren (Alexis and Seth).
Next, Daniel Gammie playing the part of a college student far from home at Christmas, sends an email to his family back home.
Dan Ernst (our teen pastor) plays the part of a Civil War soldier who sends a letter home to his wife (Lisa).
Christina plays the part of a mom writing a letter about her busy day with the children.
Joshua Hales (our children & Jr High pastor) plays the part of a sailor writing home to his family describing the differences in culture in Japan where he is stationed, far from home during the Christmas season.
Finally, Marlene plays the part of another mother writing a letter to her "Prodigal Daughter". She never sends the letters because she doesn't know where to send them.We should all think back to that very "special delivery" made over 2000 years ago in the city of Bethlehem, when our Savior was born so that we may have everlasting life.
