SCRIPT PREVIEW
Synopsis
A tumbler, a Communion chalice, a mug ... every cup tells a story. This unique service uses Jesus' impassioned plea in the Garden of Gethsemane, "Take this cup from me," as the basis for these contemporary slice-of-life episodes. In every instance, there is pain. A mother picks up her heirloom teacup and reflects on a "hand-me-down" family problem. A youth's glass represents the loss of his family's mealtime as their closeness unraveled. A lonely single's chipped cup reminds her of her flawed life. A nurse's medicine cup symbolizes her sadness when patients don't heal. Just as Jesus grew to accept his Father's will for him even when it involved pain, each character repeats a scriptural promise seemingly custom made for his or her situation, concluding the service with hope.
