A Little Girl Asks Why - Best Easter Skits for Church

WHAT

A reflective Easter drama in which a little girl’s honest questions interrupt adult assumptions. As she asks why—about the cross, Jesus’ death, and Easter itself—adults are forced to slow down and rediscover the heart of the gospel in simple, truthful language.

THEME

Faith is not weakened by questions. It is clarified by them.
