PROPS:

GOAL:
To make Jesus the Greatest Attraction!
Pastor:
Wow!
Can you imagine?
Gerry:
Yeah!
It sure is neat! Four years!
Pastor:
That’s
right! We are four years here in Mallow today! Happy anniversary!
Do
you remember when you came here the first time?
Gerry:
Yep!
I remember well!
Pastor:
God
has been so good. So many people have heard the Gospel here, and have turned
their lives over to Jesus Christ! Do you remember our Holiday Bible Clubs?
Gerry:
Oh
yes! It is always so much fun - we really enjoy those! A bit tiring for these
old bones sometimes though.
Pastor:
There
is another one coming up in July!
Gerry:
I
can't wait!
Pastor:
Gerry,
what do you like best about church?
Gerry:
(thinking)
Hmmm… The Jaffa Cakes!
Pastor:
You
know, with all the fun, and the excitement, and the Jaffa Cakes, the real reason
why we have so much joy as Christians is because of Jesus! HE is the big deal
about our church! He has done so much for us!
Gerry:
Enough
to die for us on the cross, and take us to heaven when we die!
Pastor:
Yeah,
and enough to give us all the promises of the Bible!
Gerry:
And
enough to give us a bunch of other Christian brothers and sisters! It's a
miracle!
Pastor:
And to supply our every need. God is so good!
Gerry:
Heh,
heh, heh. And we are just getting started!
Pastor:
That's
right! We have a lot more discovering to do!
Gerry:
Yep!
We ain’t seen nothing yet have we pastor?
Pastor:
Not at all Gerry! Faithfulness has its rewards! And God has a way of
blessing us beyond our wildest dreams
Gerry:
I had a dream last night pastor.
Pastor:
Oh yeah, about what?
Gerry:
About you preaching to a bunch of puppets, and you used a human to teach
us something from the Bible.
Pastor:
And, how did it go?
Gerry:
Terrible. The human kept interrupting you, squirming, complaining and
making funny faces.
Pastor:
That’s terrible! Well,
I am so glad you don’t do that!
Gerry:
No.
But I wouldn’t ever!
Pastor:
Hey!
Remember - it is not about you and me - it is all about Jesus isn't it?
Gerry:
You're
right pastor! That's very true! Can we hear some more about Jesus today?
Pastor:
You
bet! Right after our COFFEE, Tea and Jaffa Cake break!
Gerry:
Oh
Boy!
Pastor and Gerry:
Bye everybody! Happy anniversary!
