Sunday Best

The subject of this drama is a very difficult one, and we don’t want to be seen as legislating proper wearing apparel in church but . .
Shouldn’t there be somewhat of an unwritten code as to what should be accepted in church? The thought is that we come into church in a spirit of joy and celebration, and that’s good. . . But shouldn’t there be a feeling of awe and respect as well? . . Maybe we are losing some of this in our “come as you are” kind of attitude toward worship? . . . Is there a happy medium?

Cast: 6
(male or female, 4 are speaking parts)

Costumes: all except Brian are in good clothes, Brian wears old jeans and tee shirt

Sample of script:

Marian, Doris, Amanda, Trudy and Janey come on stage

Marian: Morning Doris, good to see you.

Doris: Marian, now don’t you look great this morning?

Marian: Thanks Doris, like my Mom used to say, this is my “Sunday go to meeting dress”.

Doris: Nice to see people dressed up in their Sunday best in church.

Trudy comes on stage

Amanda: Will you just look at Trudy over there, surely she would have something better to wear to church!

Doris: Well Amanda, I happen to know Trudy and her family are having are going through a rough spot right now. . . And fact is, her clothes are the best she can afford. . . It’s just wonderful to see her here in church, the way I see it.

Brian comes on stage wearing torn jeans and tee shirt

Amanda: I suppose you are going to tell me that is the best Brian can afford.

Janey: Mom, that happens to be True Religion.

Amanda: What do you mean, “true religion”? . . Dressing like that for church when you can afford better is a long way from what I would call true religion.

Janey: No, Mom, you don’t understand. . . “True Religion” is a brand name . . THE brand name in jeans! . . Mega expensive!

Amanda: Yeh right! . . I suppose you are going to tell me that the holes in the knees make them more expensive?

Janey: Yes, fact is they do.

Doris: Guess I am just getting old but like it says in Exodus, I think we all need to bring our best into the house of the Lord.

Janey: The Bible sets fashion standards?

Doris: Not just fashion, it talks of attitude and expectations.
