Three Christmas Monologues

by: Steve Moody

These three Christmas monologues were written for the Stopsley Baptist Church carol service 2013. They are written from the perspective of Joseph, the Shepherds and Mary. They help to expand upon the traditional readings, giving suggestions as to how the characters in the stories might have felt. They bring out the fears and uncertainties of the characters, but also their hopes and joys.

As with everything on this site, feel free to use or adapt for your own Christmas services or events. Thanks to our friend and pastor Steve for writing them and letting us share!

Good Evening Steve- can you help provide assistance in getting this downloaded?

Amy - 3:41am - 14 Nov 2019

Amy - desktop computer is more straightforward than tablet. Make sure you are logged in to the site. On the right hand side the third block down says "Resources". Click the button marked "Download". If you have a problem please let me know what stage of the process it is not working. Hope that helps.

I'd like to see the plays. We r a conservative church and so many are not usable. If I can use them I will surely donate

Leisa - 5:28pm - 10 Oct 2023

Hi Leisa - if you click Download the plays will come into your download folder. You don't need to donate, you can dismiss that pop-up. Thanks.
