The drama program of First Christian Church of Morris has been growing stronger through recent years, as members realize how important a skit or a play can be in putting the word of God into real-life perspective.

Little mini-dramas and readings have become more prevalent in Sunday morning services, and larger dramatic scores are also played out in the church’s Christmas programs. That’s certainly true with this year’s program, “The Hope of Christmas,” which runs Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, Dec. 12, 14, 15 and 16.
