The Committee

A trio of aging members of the The Committee have some difficult decisions to make regarding the closing down of their once-thriving church. When they are joined by three younger parishioners, battle lines are drawn. Then, Chuck walks in.

Taking on the role of a French waiter, Chuck cleverly sets a table for six to demonstrate for The Committee the true meaning of hospitality. It's not something you put on, it's a lifestyle.

Chuck shuffles through Rummage Sale skeletons and broken lamps to illustrate The Committee has been asleep at the wheel. "Our community has changed, but we've stayed the same."

Compass Committee members wonder if their church understands its purpose or even "why" their church exists, when Chuck discovers an annoying board game whose mechanical device repeats the annoying word WHY, over and over again.

The topic of evangelism has everyone uneasy. Sharing personal stories of experience, strength, and hope help committee members discover a more authentic, engaging way in which to share their faith, or evangelize.

The Compass Committee struggles to identify the people who live in the area surrounding their church, as Chuck recalls his favorite Dr. Seuss story and "Whoville" to help the committee understand the "who" that lives in their community.
