Based on the play by Richard Lauchman. This video is a suggestion of what may have happened, in the hours leading up to their crucifixion, to the tow thieves who were crucified on either side of Jesus Christ. Isn't it true that both thieves respresent us at times? - one looks for a way out that does not include Jesus, and the other, in desperation, asks for Jesus' help. Hanging between life and death, the two thieves face a moment of choice and commitment, and a moment of conversion.
Summary: In the early hours of Good Friday morning two theives, awaiting their crucifixion, agonize in a lonely prison cell. As the stars go out one by one, these two men grapple with fear about their impending death. Through a small hole in the stone cell wall, they can glimpse another prisoner who will be crucified with them. Together they argue about who this man is, and wonder if he has the power to save their souls.

Week 1: Introduction (watching whole video and discussing your initial impressions); Week 2: Conversion; Week 3: Fear; Week 4: Doubt; Week 5: Faith; Week 6:God's Saving Arm of Mercy.

Ignoring their father's warnings, three youngsters cut a Christmas tree on the property of their Scrooge-like, cantankerous neighbor. However, the Christmas spirit isn't the same with a stolen tree.

Oscar Wilde's allegory about selfishness and sharing is recreated in this animated film. When a giant builds a wall around his castle garden to keep the children away, his home is invaded by ghostly personifications of snow, wind, frost and hail. This perpetual winter lasts until the children creep back inside. All but one of them, a strange little boy, run away at the sight of the giant. That little boy asks the giant to help him climb a tree, and hugs the giant for his help. Years later, the mysterious little boy returns. It is the Christ child, and he leads the giant away to the garden of heaven. Children of all ages will be enchanted by charming story and its strong Christian message. Discussion questions are printed on back of the case.
