Script 1:
What’s this, 2, you gone into fencing? You are very good!
2:
Fencing? No, what makes you think I’m into fencing?
1:
Well, the (mimes fencing), parry and thrust thingie kinda clued me in.
2:
You thought I was fencing? No, no, just practicing my footwork, I’m going dancing tonight.
1:
Dancing? Those are dance moves?
2:
Yep, see . . (mimes fencing, hums along), da dum da da da da dum. Nice slow waltz.
1:
Well, it looks a lot more like fencing to me.
2:
Do I strike you as the type to go out for fencing?
1:
Well, likely more the fencing type than the dancing type. Your two left feet seem like they would be a prime giveaway.
2:
Now, that’s not nice! Why, I mean . . . . . .
3 & 4 enter stage, miming rowing a boat 2:
Wow, you guys are good!
3:
Well, we have been practicing soccer skills for a long time, and, like you say, it shows.
4:
3 is especially good at heading the ball.
1:
What are you talking about, soccer? You guys are rowing a boat.
4:
I don’t think so! Soccer, that’s our game.

3:
Besides, I get seasick in a bath tub.
2:
But that’s not the way you play soccer, you use your feet, not your hands when playing soccer.
4:
Your feet? You mean like when we, (mimes rowing), like this . . . that’s not right for soccer?
3:
And I have to get used to using my feet?
1:
‘Fraid so.
3:
That’s a bummer.
2:
Well, if you want to be good that’s what you’ve gotta do.
4:
Well, we do want to be good.
2:
Something tells me that none of us are all that good at what we are trying to do. Guess we have to work a lot harder to show people about our goodness at our activity.
1:
Makes sense, there is no one can show goodness without a lot of practice.
3:
Well, what about God, isn’t He always good?
4:
Well, maybe I guess God is always good, but what has that got to do with anything?
3:
Well, just thinking . . . . . God’s goodness never ends, we can always count on Him for our many blessings.
1:
He is always there, blessing us, isn’t He?
2:
Isn’t it awesome? Everytime, no matter what, He is always providing His blessings.
4:
You know, we just finished our stewardship campaign, and I remember thinking at the beginning, wow, we will never make it. But we did.
3:
Yes, we did, and I guess that was a stretching and growing exercise for us, but we never would have done it had it not been for God working in hearts.
2:
Gotcha! So our part was the exercising, training, learning. And God’s part was the blessing?

Exactly! It’s kind of exciting, isn’t it? How God shows his goodness through working in us.
5 comes on stage, miming a ballerina. 4:
What is 5 doing?
3:
Oh, I hear he wants to be a deep sea diver.
2:
How could I ever miss the connection there?
1:
Well, I can see how if 5 wanted to be a deep sea diver, and he practiced ballet how . . . .. I’m lost I guess.
4:
And your first clue was . . . . .
3:
I think we should hold tight to how God is the goodness we can count on.
1:
Hey, you’re good!
2:
Anyone for badminton?
2 mimes shooting a rifle. All look at 2, shake heads and walk off stage
