OUTLINE OF STORY:

PROPS / ACTIONS:

·        Girl puppet is mixing ingredients in a bowl.

·        Girl adds things to bowl and talks to herself.

o       Let’s see, I’ll add a little bit of Virginia, a cup of England, and a teaspoon of Italy.

·        Lights on lower stage

·        Girl enters on lower stage wearing eye goggles.

·        She brings a mixing bowl

·        She uses hand with rod to “add” ingredients into the bowl.

·        Boy puppet exclaims,

o       Oh boy! Are you making brownies!  Can I have some!

·        Girl puppet responds:

o       No, silly, I’m not making brownies.

·        Boy asks:

o       Then what are you making?

·        Girl answers:

o       I’m making disciples of all nations!

·        Boy puppet enters

·        Boy looks at audience

o       Do you have any idea what she is talking about?

·        Boy looks confused.

·        Girl explains

o       You see, Jesus told us to go and make disciples of all nations.

·        Boy answers:

o       Yea, so

·        Girl continues

o       So, I’ve got little bits of soil and rocks and things from other nations and am using them to make disciples just like Jesus said…

·        Girl laughs

o       But it doesn’t seem to be working

·        Girl shakes her head and looks disappointed

·        Boy explains that disciples are people who follow Jesus.  You can’t make a disciple out of things.  Jesus wants us to make disciples out of people of others nations.

 

·        Girls says she understands now and has just the thing.

·        Girl exits and takes bowl with her.

·        Girl says that her club will do the job and she turns to the boy and says:

·        Girl returns with a club

o        Become a disciple of Jesus or I’ll pound you!

·        Girl swings club in boys face and chases him.

·        Boy stops her and explains that Jesus doesn’t want us to force other people to be his disciples.

·        Exit club

·        Girl doesn’t understand.  She asks how can you make disciples if you can’t force people to follow Jesus?

·        Girl shakes her head

·        Boy explains that we can make disciples by:

o          Telling them about Jesus

o          Helping them in Jesus’ name

o          Feeding them when they’re hungry

o          (asks audience what else they can do…then end with the last one)

o          Forgiving them when they hurt us…

·         

·        Girl is amazed that its that easy

·        Boy is not sure if it is easy but it is less violent

·        Girl asks boy if she can forgive him for chasing him with a club

·        Boy says yes.

·        Girl asks him if he will help her go and make disciples for Jesus – and no clubs

·        Boy says yes and they exit.

·        All exit

·        Lights go down.
