"Angel At McDonald's" is a provocative drama that is a striking
parable about belief in something that seems impossible and the
courage to do what God commands. Two young women who are decorating
a community center in an underprivileged neighborhood encounter
three angry toughs who resent the girls' "kindness." With the
gentle insistence of an angel who gives them an unusual assignment,
the girls confront their fear and tell the skeptical ghetto kids
about Jesus. And despite initial wariness, the message finds a home
in some of their hearts.
This play can be presented as part of a worship service or as the
entertainment at a church dinner or other gathering. It can be
staged as elaborately or as simply as you wish, and lends itself to
a readers' theater format. "Angel At McDonald's" is an excellent
discussion starter that is sure to generate many viewpoints about
our preconceived ideas of what constitutes "missions." And it
connects the occasion of Christ's birth to the birth of new
spiritual life. With realistic dialogue and situations, it's
perfect for use with teenagers.
