Frank and Edith are pillars of the church. Well, that is what they think anyway. You'll probably find them a bit hypocritical and vain, but you might see someone you know, or maybe even yourself. Humorous with a message, as Frank has decided to join the church choir because he can turn things around in the music at the church.  This is one of several Christian skits about Frank and Edith.

one couple. About 9 minutes.

Another skit about Frank and Edith. This one takes place in their car as they get ready to drive home from church. They just heard a sermon on tithing and they discuss their reactions to that subject. Of course, they believe that they are good givers, but their conversation gives away their ignorance of what God's word teaches, and their unwilling spirits to trust God with their finances. Humorous and convicting all at the same time.

one couple. About 9 minutes.

This is another Frank and Edith skit that has them talking about a missionary that they just heard speak at their church. They discuss how important mission work is to them, and how they should support this particular missionary, because he gave such a good presentation. Of course, they come up with reasons not to, and talk themselves out of it completely. You will either laugh at their reasoning, or realize you do the same thing.

one couple. About 9 minutes.

This is a crazy sketch about a bunch of super heroes trying to save the world from a hidden bomb.  Jesus enters the scene and watches and waits till the right time to make himself known and save all of them from destruction.  Meanwhile, one after another enter and try to come up with a plan to save the world.  Each character is based on a famous super hero and everything is played for laughs.  You have Superduperman, Ratman, and Beetleman, to name a few.

Cast of 12.  (6 males, 6 females) Gender may vary.   About 10-12 mins.

 Frank and Edith are at it again! This time they are trying to keep out of the whole Christmas scene at church, but they get asked to do stuff anyway. They agree, but only because they don't want to look bad. Edith is supposed to find a baby Jesus for the manger scene, and Frank is to read something at the end of the program. What he reads is the truth of why Jesus came and for a second you think it got through to them both. But not these two... one beat later... they are right back on their own hypocritical soap box. We laugh at them because it rings so true, and sometimes it rings a little too close to home.

One couple. About 10 mins.

This is the fifth Frank and Edith sketch.  This time, Frank is all worked up over the new building project at church.  As they discuss how the plans are coming along and the topic of giving toward it, their hypocrisy shines through everything they say...as always.

One couple.  About 8-9 mins.

In this sketch, Frank and Edith are in their car again hurrying out of the church parking lot.  The pastor has gone past noon again and they are concerned about the restaurants all being crowded now.  They really let their true colors shine this time as they talk about ways to get the pastor to shorten the service.  This leads Frank into a discussion on what Heaven will be like, with his warped and crazy ideas.  Then they arrive at their favorite restaurant, which is now very crowded.

One couple.  About 8-9 mins.

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.

8-10 mins.

This THANKSGIVING DAY skit will also work for anytime, but the story begins as siblings, Jason and Tori are complaining about what Mom is fixing for Thanksgiving dinner. The setting then switches to a couple of homeless kids who just had a meal at a shelter and were very thankful. The story goes back and forth with ungrateful kids with nice clothes, and then the opposite response when a missionary kid, Adam passes out stuff to kids in a poor country. Adam comes back home and shares with the American kids what he learned about being grateful for what we have.

16 children (mixed) 10 minutes.

Here is a skit that's just for fun.   You will probably recognize characters and situations that remind you of a popular TV show in the 60's.  Several people are stranded on an island and some strangers crash their plane and leave a Bible behind.  Finnigan is the one who sees them and finds the Bible.  You can play the characters for laughs by overacting and trying to be like the characters from the TV show.  Each of them find passages in the scriptures that talk about being saved.

9 actors (6 males, 3 females)  a couple of extras.  Some of the genders could be switched.   About 10 mins.

Another THANKSGIVING DAY skit with Jason and Tori and friends learning gratefulness. After learning that they will spend Thanksgiving serving food at the homeless shelter, they are very upset and complain. Suddenly Jason finds himself at the shelter with all his friends, and they are all homeless. All he gets for a Thanksgiving dinner is a roll, but he is so hungry, that it tastes wonderful. After living like them for a time, he finally wakes from his dream and vows to change his attitude and be grateful for the things he has.

10 children plus extras (mixed)10 minutes.
