If your brother sins against you
SCENE 1 <Bubba, Maia>
Maia: Bubba, what did you think about our Sunday school lesson today?
Bubba: <sad> I feel sad.
Maia: Sad? You are always happy after Sunday school.
Matbe we should sing the happy song. Happy happy happy happy happy happy happiness!
Bubba: Yeah, but the teacher taught about serving God and I don’t know how to do that.
Maia: What do you mean?
Bubba: <dejected> I mean I don’t have the talents to serve God. I can’t sing well, I can’t read well, I hurt my arm so I can’t lift much. I just can’t do much of anything!
Maia: You do love God though.
Bubba: Sure I do. Jesus died on the cross for me. I love God more than my pigs love to roll in mud! I love him more than my cows love to poop on the barn floor!
Maia <laughing> Bubba! You are sooo funny. I bet you could serve God by making people laugh.
Bubba: Hmm. I never really thought about that. I never heard of people serving God in that way.
Maia: There are all different ways of serving God. He made you funny so maybe you should serve him by making people laugh.
Bubba: Well, how can I do that?
Maia: Gracie has been really sad since her grandma moved away. Maybe you could make her laugh and feel better.
Bubba: That sounds like fun! Let’s go over to Gracie’s.
<puppets exit>
Scene 2 <Maia and Gracie at first, then later Bubba comes up with underpants on his head>
Maia: Hi Gracie. How have you been feeling?
Gracie: <sad> Not so good. I miss my grandma so much. I think about her all of the time.
Maia: I’m sorry to hear that Gracie. It sounds really tough. I think you need a super hero.
Gracie: A super hero?
Maia: <call out> Oh Captain Un-der-pants.
<Bubba comes up with underpants on his head>
Bubba: Never fear! Captain underpants is here.
Gracie: <laughing> Bubba! You look so00 funny! What kind of super hero are you?
Bubba: I’m God’s super hero of laughter. How about a knock-knock joke?
Gracie: Sure Bubba.
Bubba: knock-knock
Gracie: Who’s there?
Bubba: Cow go
Gracie: Cow go Who?
Bubba: No, Cow go MOO!!!
Gracie: <laughing> - Bubba, that was so funny! You really know how to make me feel better.
Bubba: I’m glad you liked the joke. Hey Gracie, Maia also brought you something else.
Gracie: What is it?
Maia: It’s my mom’s cell phone. She said you could call her grandma on it.
Gracie: That is sooo nice. I have not been able to talk to grandma in a week. You guys are making me feel so much better!
Maia: We are glad that we could help. We better go now so you can call your grandma – bye!
Bubba: Bye Gracie.
Gracie: Bye guys. I’ll see you at school tomorrow.
<Larry starts singing Happy birthday to me>
Mo – Well hello Larry! I didn’t know it was your birthday today.
Bob – Larry, it isn’t your birthday!
Larry - I know, My birthday is in three weeks.
Mo – It looks like you’re already starting to Celebrate!
Larry – Yeah, I can’t wait to get all of the really cool presents that I have been waiting for.
Bob – So Larry, do you already know what you are going to get?
Larry – Well, I made my birthday list a month ago and put it on the refrigerator, under my dad’s pillow, and even in my mom’s secret stash of candy that I am not supposed to know about. Then I recorded myself singing my birthday list. Do you guys want to hear it?
Mo – Well, I *do* like presents..
Bob – Larry, I don’t know if that is really necessary..
Larry – OK.. here I go!!
<Larry to slowly sing to the tune of "Old MacDonald Had a Farm">
Larry’s birthday’s coming soon.
Here’s what he would like:
Rollerblades like Jordan has,
And a batman bike.
Laser tag, a checkered flag,
A car so I can race my dad.
A doggy I can call my own.
Bring gifts to my home!
Mo – Wow, that’s quite a list of the things that you want.
Larry – Want? Those are the things I GOTTA HAVE! I need a remote control car and an fish and…
Bob - (interrupt Larry). Larry, you don’t need all those things. You just want them.
Larry – But those things are fun to play with.
Mo – He does have a point.. they are fun to play with.
Bob – It’s ok to want fun things. But, it’s important to know that God is all we need. He’s the most important thing in our lives. Toys won’t love us or forgive us or always be there when we need them. Only God can do that.
Mo – Uh.. My little sister had a doll that said "I love you" when I sequeezed it. But it didn’t really make me feel loved.
Bob – Yeah.. that’s different Mo. God *really* loves you and proved it when Jesus went to the cross to forgive us of our sins.
Larry – So, maybe I shouldn’t think so much about the stuff I want and instead think about God. He is the one who gives the best gifts.
Bob - That’s a great start to having a really happy birthday.
Larry – Maybe I’ll go write a different song – one about how much I need God. I can sing it at my party! Let’s try it..
Mo – Yeah, let’s try it!
Bob – Hey Mister Tim, can you play guitar for us?
< ALL PUPPETS SING>
God the Father loves us so, Jesus let us know
He gives the best gifts that we need, And He’ll never leave
He answers prayer
He really cares
He gives us peace and love to share
God the Father loves us so, Jesus let us know
< Mr. Tim to say goodbye to the puppets >
< ALL PUPPETS SAY GOODBYE and exit >
***** Skit: God looks at the heart *****
Scene 1 (Mo and Larry)
Mo: Heya Larry
Larry: (have Larry making a muscle and looking at it) Oh, Hi Mo.
Mo: What are you doing with your arm?
Larry: I’m making a muscle!
Mo: Well I was wondering if you wanted to come over my house to play legos tomorrow.
Larry: Sorry Mo, I’m busy. I have been lifting weights every day I’m getting big muscles!
Mo: But Larry, you are already the strongest monster I know. Why are you trying to make your muscles bigger?
Larry: Because I saw this TV commercial that says if you have really big muscles, people will like you a lot!
Mo: I have really big muscles.
Larry: No you don’t. Your muscles are little!
Mo: Nobody is going to like me! (Mo cries and goes off stage}
Scene 2 (Bob and Mo)
Mo: Bob! I need to talk to you.
Bob: What is it Mo?
Mo: I have little muscles so nobody likes me!
Bob: Why do you think you need to have big muscles to be liked?
Mo: Larry told me that he saw a commercial that said you need big muscles for people to like you. Now Larry is lifting weights every day and he won’t come over my house to play legos tomorrow.
Bob: Look Mo, I don’t care about the size of people’s muscles and more important than that, God says he does not care about how a person looks – he just wants people to love Him and love other people. And Mo, you are good at loving others.
Mo: You really think so?
Bob: Sure I do. Hey, I’ll come over your house and play legos.
Mo: Great Bob. I’ll see you tomorrow.
Scene 3 (Bob, Larry, Mo):
Larry: Hey Bob, do you want to come over my house tomorrow to lift weights with me?
Bob: I’d like to come over, but I already made plans to go over Mo’s house to play legos.
Larry: But wouldn’t you rather play with me? I’ve got bigger muscles than Mo! ( Larry makes a muscle and looks at it).
Bob: Larry, I don’t care how big a person’s muscles are. I like people that are nice.
Larry: But Bob, I saw a TV commercial that said that people will like you more if you have big muscles.
Bob: That commercial is just trying to sell you something. The most important thing is what God thinks and he does not care about people’s muscles. He cares if people love Him and love other people.
Larry: Oh no, I was not loving towards Mo when I told him I would not come over. Now he isn’t going to like me. Now I am going to be all alone tomorrow. I want Mo not muscles!
< Mo pops up from under the stage>
Larry: Mo, it’s you.. I’m sorry. What are you doing?
Mo: I just wanted to tell you that I’ll never leave you out! I want you to come over tomorrow. We are going to have so much fun!
Joey: I wanna come too!
<ALL PUPPETS and Joey run around, scream, and exit>
SKIT – If your brother sins against you, go to him
Scene 1 (Bob and Mo)
bob: Oh no, I can’t believe this happened to me!
mo: What Bob? What happened to you?
bob: I left my cookie at home!
Mo: Oh Bob, that is bad! (pause and thinks).. Hey, you can have my cookie.
bob: thanks, Mo! (acts like he grabs cookie from Mo and eats it and burps loudly) AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAh! see ya later, Mo!
(Both exit stage)
Scene 2 (Bob and Mo again)bob: Mo, can I have your cookie?
Mo: But Bob, I see you already have one.
bob: I want two cookies, HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORAY for cookies!
Mo: But since you already have one I want to keep my cookie and eat it for myself.
bob: If you don't give me your cookie i'm not going to be your friend!
Mo: I Wanna eat my cookie WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAh! (cries, runs around in circles then both leave)
Scene 3 (Mo and Larry)
(Mo is crying)
Larry: what's wrong, Mo?
Mo: Bob...friend...cookie...WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAh!
Larry: CALM DOWN! (Mo gets quiet) Now tell me what happened.
Mo: Larry said he would not be my friend because I didn't give him my Cookie. It really hurt my feelings.
Larry: The Bible Says that when someone hurts your feelings you should go to them and tell them how you feel
Mo: I Don't know.......He may say something to hurt me even worse!
Larry: You need to trust God and do what he says to do and I'll go with you.
Mo: O.K. let's do it!
Scene 4 (Mo, Bob, and Larry)
Mo:h-h-h-hi Bob
Bob: I'm not your friend!
Larry: Mo, remember to trust God
Mo: Larry, when you said you would not be my friend if I didn’t give you my cookie, it really hurt my feelings.
Bob: It did?
Mo: Sure it did. I value our friendship. What if Larry and I told you we would no longer be your friends if you didn’t give us your cookie?
bob: I sure would not like that… (pause and think). Boy Mo, I was being really greedy. I'm real sorry. I Wanna be your friend more than anything! Will you forgive me?
Mo: Sure Bob. I forgive you.
Larry: now that we're friends again, let's go to the bakery and get a bag of cookies to celebrate!
All: HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOray for cookies!
