For Christ and the Church (dramatic reading)

Rev. Mark Spencer is about to give up on writing his sermon one Saturday night when the Devil comes to him and tries to discourage him by reminding him how few of the people who have pledged themselves to make their motto, 'For Christ and the Church' keep it. The minister decides to preach a sermon like nothing the people in his congregation have ever heard before--a sermon that stirs them to action and to give themselves fully to God. A sermon that urges them to pledge themselves again to Christ and the Church! - Summary by Esther ben Simonides

This short story is really good and has a great lesson to it. The readers did well and things were put together nicely. Rachel, the narrator, is my favorite reader and she was great. The story is basically a super mini version of 'In His Steps' by the same author though while the plot is the same, the cast basically the same, the actual story is different. A pleasant listen and heart needing message. I did cry, affected just as the Pastor and some members were by the lack of faithfulness in commitment that all Christians suffer greatly at some time and somewhat all the time.

good story but some of the voice inflections need work
