Script Sample
Narrator: There once was a girl named Mary. She was kind and faithful. She trusted God and loved him very much.Â
Enter Mary.
Narrator: Mary was engaged to get married to a man named Joseph. One day, her life changed forever.Â
Enter Gabriel.
Gabriel: Hello Mary! You are highly favored by God! He is with you!
Mary steps back and covers her mouth, frightened.
Gabriel: Don’t be afraid Mary! God has chosen you! I’m here to tell you the good news. You will have a baby. A boy who will save the world! You must name him Jesus. He will be the Messiah, the Son of God!
Mary: (nervously) But…how will this be? I haven’t even gotten married yet!
Gabriel: God will be with you. His Word will never fail.
Mary: I am his servant. May your words all come true!
Gabriel and Mary exit.
