A young man and woman wonder what has happened to passion and to caring about other people.

Five girls talk about how this world sees love and what love really is.
A couple guys play basketball and learn about humility and greatness.
Why we celebrate Lent, and things to do with your group during this time.
Each of the dramas is built on a Series C Gospel for Lent. They are intentionally short and require a minimum of rehearsal. Each has few characters, making recruitment less burdensome. The dramas are parables, meant to highlight themes in the day's Gospel. They are designed to take 5-10 minutes in the service and call for little costuming or set design.
