Welcome to Our World

Written By:
Chloe Axford
Type: drama
Bible Refs: Luke 2:8-20, Matt 2:1-12

These three interwoven monologues tell the Christmas story from the point of view of a shepherd, a king and an angel. The drama is based on Luke 2: 8-20 and Matthew 2: 1-12 and aims to bring out the contemporary themes of economic uncertainty, difficult relationships, celebrity culture and the search for meaning in life.

Chloe Axford lives in Devon with her husband Nick and their very new baby girl. They are volunteer worship leaders at their church and run an alternative worship stream in the evening service called Creative Space. Chloe spent two years working in creative arts ministry at a church in London and now works as a journalist (when not dreaming up imaginative uses for tea lights, post-it notes and stones).

We used this for Christmas Eve. Instead of having readers or actors in the front of the church, we had the readers stationed in the back of the church reading. It was very effective!

used this in our Carol service. Done by three of our young people it worked well; a good summary of the Christmas story in a way which people warmed to, it got a laugh or two as well. Excellent.
