Circles of Love - Christian Skit

She thinks her love doesn't reach very far. God has been carrying it further than she knows.

Alice is folding laundry and humming to herself. She's a mom of three with a few college courses under her belt, she volunteers on the Welcome Committee at church, and most days she feels like she has very little influence on the world around her.

Her husband is nervous about a big presentation, her teenage daughter is upset about missing a party, and her friend Karen is sitting in a hospital waiting room while her mom is in surgery. Alice does what she can for each of them, and none of it feels like much at the time.

What Alice can't see is how far each of those small moments of love will travel.

Circles of Love is an original Christian skit written exclusively for Loving Christ Ministries. It runs about 5 minutes and needs nothing more than a bare stage, a laundry basket, two cell phones, and a box of tissues. A Commentator walks your audience through Alice's day like a case study, freezing each scene and then following the ripples out to people Alice never meets. Halle's phone call about her mom being "such a drag" brings some fun to the middle of the skit, and the quiet hospital prayer near the end brings it all home.

Circles of Love was written for the theme bundle Circle of His Love and works with any message about God's love for us, loving others the way Jesus loves us, and how He uses ordinary acts of kindness to draw people to Himself.

SYNOPSIS

In Circles of Love, the Commentator introduces Alice as a case study in how God takes one small act of love and uses it in the lives of others. Alice offers to listen while her husband, Benjamin, practices his introduction, and that little bit of support gives him the room to help a struggling coworker, which frees up the coworker's wife to see her counselor. Alice holds firm with her daughter, Halle, about grades and a party, and Halle's friend Jenny gets a glimpse of a mother's love she has never had at home. Then Alice goes to the hospital to sit with Karen and prays a short, simple prayer.

Karen isn't the only one listening. A stranger in the waiting room has never heard anyone talk to God like that, and she starts to wonder if there might be more to this life. In time, she gives her life to God, and her own circles of love begin to fan out into the world.

It works best right before your teaching on God's love. Alice's story gives your women a picture to hold onto when you open to 1 John 4:16 and talk about how God's love, lived out in us, reaches the people around us.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

✞ Will I receive a physical copy in the mail?
No. This is a digital product. You will receive a PDF file to download and print yourself.

✞ How will my product be delivered?
You will receive a download link immediately after purchase.

✞ How many actors does this skit need?
Six women. Alice, Benjamin, Halle, Karen, and the Stranger start frozen in their places on stage, and the Commentator enters at the beginning to walk the audience through each scene. The Stranger has no lines, so that part is a good fit for someone who would rather not speak. Performance time is about 5 minutes, and two or three run-throughs is plenty.

✞ Can I print copies for my cast?
Yes. Print as many copies as you need for personal, family, or single church use. If you would like to use this file for multiple churches, please email us at julie@lovingchristministries.com for information on a bundle purchase price. This digital file cannot be given to anyone else. In order to own a digital file, it must be purchased.

✞ Do we need special staging or sound?
No sound cues are needed. A bare stage works well, with Alice at center and the other characters a few feet away from her. If you have spotlights, give each actor her own circle of light. Alice needs a laundry basket with laundry, Benjamin and Halle each need a cell phone, and Karen needs tissues. The one thing worth practicing is the freezes, so each scene comes to life and stops right on cue.

✞ What's your refund policy?
Because this is a digital product delivered immediately upon purchase, we do not accept returns or refunds. Please review all images before purchasing. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to message us.
