This is another one about marriage relationships. A couple are on a train and begin discussing what they are going to do once they get to the resort. They quickly find out that they have not discussed it and they want to do totally different things on this vacation. A bit humorous and you may find it true to life as they talk about their differences. Praying and reading God's word is brought into the scene as they close.

In this pre-EASTER skit, on a Good Friday, a group of young people from a public school are heading on a field trip to the museum. They board a subway train and find a few younger kids in their car. Those kids are heading to a play about the crucifixion of Jesus and a discussion begins about what Good Friday is all about and the real meaning of Easter. Two of the kids begin a strong witness as they share the gospel, and one boy in particular shows a great interest.

Daryl has an accident that turns out to be a little fender bender when it should have been much worse. However, he doesn't seem to realize that he has God to thank for keeping him safe. When an old friend comes by, he tells her about all the big events and close calls he has had recently, and still does not give credit to the Lord for his blessings. The friend shares how she and her husband are trusting God for providing their needs, and he still seems clueless to his unthankful spirit. A man comes by who convinces Daryl that he is a "messenger of God" and he has been protecting Daryl for years. He gets him to realize how he has neglected to give thanks for all that God has been doing in his life. He has a change and ends up giving to the friend who really has a need, because he is thankful for what he has been given.

On Easter Sunday morning, an angel appears and begins to describe their experience being a messenger of God and being present at very important moments in the life of Christ. They describe what it was like at the birth, temptation, death and resurrection of Christ. This is somewhat based on information that we may have learned about angels, and is also taking much freedom and imagination into play to create an emotional monologue.

One actor. About 5 minutes. Addional and optional dialogue added to make it longer. Learn More

A married couple are having a discussion about giving money to the church. The first part takes place at home as they are getting ready to go to the church for a pledge dinner. The second part takes place at the dinner at their table as they discuss how much to pledge. A lot of the arguments as to why one might not want to give to the church are brought up in the sketch and also the scriptural reasons as to why you should. Humorous and serious all at the same time.

This short puppet script could also be done as a live skit with actors. Five kids have gone to the movies and they are watching the previews.

Here is a full length play for your church that is marked way down! A great deal! This play was formerly called "The Celebration". The play tells several stories while a church plans for their anniversary celebration. The pastor is busy praying over a sick woman, his wife is counseling a woman who's husband is unfaithful, and a group of ladies have a problem with gossip. Before the celebration weekend is over, we see the husband come back, a backslidden woman repent, and a man's life is changed toward God as his wife get's healed. This can be made into a musical easily by adding your own songs. There is a visiting choir in the script, they could sing several songs.

This is a humorous sketch about having our anchor in Christ, otherwise we could drift and become shipwrecked in our faith. It is obviously a rip-off of a popular TV show from the 60's. Two gals, Pepper and Carrie Anne have met and are taking a short cruise around Catalina Island with a female skipper. But the skipper gets off the boat to gas up and the girls fall asleep to wake up and find that they have drifted way out to sea. Pepper is played over the top as a dumb actress and they deal with possible sharks and rocks and the fear of shipwreck. Even though they cry out to God in prayer... they find themselves at the end on an island where someone named Gillian is also stranded. There are sequels that you can get to follow this sketch, parts 2 and 3. Or if you want all three, go to the general Christian script category and scroll till you find "Gillian's Island - The Play". You save a little money by buying the play rather than the three skits.

3 females plus one extra. About 12-13 min. (the part of Skippie could be played as a male) Learn More

This is a sequel to Gillian's Island, obviously. If you want to continue the story, the girls from the first sketch have arrived on the beach of a deserted island only to find that there are other people already shipwrecked there. The characters are loosely based on the TV sitcom of the 60's. Carrie Ann is the Christian and she tries to be helpful as she runs up against a very disagreeable rich man who doesn't want more mouths to feed. Pepper is the ditzy actress who usually has the comedy lines. The actress and the billionaire are a lot more fun if you play them just like the characters from the old show. There are sequels (one before and one after) that you can get to go with this sketch, parts 1 and 3. Or if you want all three, go to the general Christian script category and scroll till you find "Gillian's Island - The Play". You save a little money by buying the play rather than the three skits.

In this part 3 sequel, the castaways are rescued... only to end up in a big storm that threatens their very lives. There is still a lot of humor as this one gets more serious toward the end. Skippie arrives with her dad (Skippie could be a male) and they find everyone asleep. They have to wake them up and get them on Skippie's boat. With Gillian sleepwalking and everyone out cold because of what they ate... it is comical. The second half is the storm and the passengers begin to talk about life and death and what is important. Carrie Ann boldly shares the gospel and prays for their deliverance. It seems as if some of them are having a changed heart once they are safely through the storm. There are prequels that you can get to precede this sketch, parts 1 and 2. Or if you want all three, go to the general Christian script category and scroll till you find "Gillian's Island - The Play". You save a little money by buying the play rather than the three skits.

In this Christian skit, Mom is having her devotions and asking God for grace to accomplish her tasks that she is called to do as a wife and mother. Suddenly her husband appears interrupting her with questions and needs. The teenage daughter enters and she needs to talk to her about a matter that involves some discipline. Dad comes back with suggestions for a dinner party and asking her opinion about buying another car. The daughter comes back in asking advice on how she should deal with her friend at school. Clearly, the Mom has a full day ahead of her and is probably not shown as much respect as she deserves for all she does .

This short drama is filled with humor as we look at people with addictions or problems where they need to find help. A girl sits at the phone for a lunch break and takes the hot line calls. She gets very busy with a lot of different types of callers. This would work well for a lot of different ministries, but especially the Celebrate Recovery groups.

2 actors (written as females, but gender doesn't matter) 5 callers are heard in voice-over, so the actors can read from the script.

This affordable play was written for a puppet ministry with a mixture of live actors and puppets. You've heard of a play within a play? Well this is a play within a play within a play within a play. Follow closely and I'll try to explain: Keith comes to the clubhouse of his friends (the puppets) and asks for help because his friend, Angela, does not believe in Christmas. The friends decided to put on a play about Jesus' birth to help convince her. There is a lot of puppet interaction as we watch the play come together. Pappy becomes the director and he gets a little stressed. Keith and Angela come to watch and Pappy keeps stopping the play to make corrections, suddenly a director comes up from the audience to stop the whole play we are watching. He talks to Pappy and the other actors, like the girl playing Angela (Kelly). She has questions about being a Christian and that perks up everyone, but just then, they all freeze. Two slightly older girls walk on stage and one of them is saying how she is Kelly. That is when you realize that the entire play was just a story this girl was telling her friend. The play continues, as they share the gospel with Kelly and they get back to their bible play and the end where Angela invites Jesus into her heart. But Kelly goes off the script and does it for real. So this is a story of how Kelly got saved doing the Christmas play. Are you confused? Well, so are the puppets at the end. A bit of humor and a salvation message.

A new, low price for this short 15 minute THANKSGIVING DAY sketch about a family gathering for Thanksgiving dinner. It may look like your typical family: the men are glued to the TV, watching the game; Grandma wants to help, but no one lets her; the aunt has an opinion on everything including how to cook the turkey; unexpected family shows up; the child brings the dog into the dining room, etc. Finally, it is time to eat, and Grandma gets to have her say which puts the focus on what this holiday is all about: What we need to be thankful for and Who we need to be thankful to. Christ is honored at the end. This skit is almost exactly the same as the opening scene in the Christmas play, "Christmas at the Murphy's".

This is a (re-written) mostly female sketch about Jochebed's choice to hide her baby in a basket and send him down the Nile River to hopefully spare his life. The half hour drama follows the biblical account as close as possible, with what little there is to know, and some created fictional dialogue to dramatize it better. The other characters are Miriam, the sister of Moses, the Pharaoh, his wife and daughter, her friends, a guard and two other women, one a friend and the other, the midwife. This sketch has been doubled in size and cast recently. The Egyptian scenes have a lot of fiction. Very affordable.

This is another sketch about Marguerite, the make-up girl. This time Marguerite is a smaller part as the skit starts with two women from church who meet at the make-up counter and begin talking. It starts out as a pretty normal conversation until one of the women shares a prayer request that is supposed to be kept private. As she leaves, another lady from church shows up and the information is shared, but not very accurately. By the time Marguerite hears it, it is totally wrong and she always gets things mixed up anyway because she is foreign and doesn't always understand what is being said. What ends up being a serious case of gossip turns into a funny end when the original woman returns to be greeted by a distraught Marguerite. This is similar to the sketch "Lipstick".

5 females (one part is very small) about 15 mins. Learn More

Loose lips sink ships, as they say. This sketch is about speaking out of turn and how easily something shared becomes gossip. Marguerite is giving free make-up demonstrations and two ladies from church come to get their faces done. Personal things get shared and what should be sad is actually funny. You see, Marguerite is foreign and she doesn't always understand what is being said and often gets things wrong. Sometimes humor is the best way to get the point across. Liver spots on a mother's hands become spots on her own liver and they begin to talk about her death. A lip injection is mistaken to be a liposuction. You will have fun teaching this important lesson and get made over at the same time. This is similar to the sketch "Lip Service".

This is a humorous sketch about a daughter who learns about her parents' past secret lives. The mother and daughter are working together on a wedding dress for someone when her friend calls to share his idea of 'getting to know your mother better' for Mother's Day. She thinks she already knows all about her mom... but suddenly she is shocked when Mom begins to reveal the strangest things. The stuff is pretty crazy (Rock band? CIA?) and all done for laughs as Dad and Mom seem the most normal people on earth. Read the excerpt. (Co-written with my good friend, Stu Kilgour)

2 females and one male (small part). The daughter is mentioned in the script as being 18, but that can easily be changed to any age you need. She should probably be at least a teenager. Runs between 6 -7 minutes. Learn More

She shares the gospel briefly and explains that Nicholas is the real Santa and that he knew Jesus. Learn More
