Early to Rise: Sketches to Recover the Meaning of Lent and Easter

(Lillenas Publications). Easter a season in which we are humbled by Christ's ultimate sacrifice and shown in the risen Son that the Father's love never fails. This collection provides material to help prepare your church for the miracle of Easter on a journey beginning with the reflection of Lent all the way to the empty tomb. A mix of humorous and serious, contemporary and Biblical, these sketches refocus a congregation on Jesus and the fact that He is the only way to salvation. Use these short pieces in worship services, Easter programs, musicals, and more. Sketches run from 3 to 10 minutes in length.
