Charlie: Hey Karen, we have a great turn out come on up.
( slight pause for her to come up)

Karen: Oh yea, this is a great group. I was wondering who was making all that noise out here.

Charlie: We are glad that you all could come today. We have something very important to talk to you about.

Karen: We do? Oh, Oh yes we do. Have you ever considered starting a Church Softball team?

Charlie: No that’s not why we came here! We came here to do a skit about one of the stories that Jesus told, a parable.

Karen: Right, right. Which one was it again?

Charlie: Karen! We have been practicing this skit for months!

Karen: Yea, yea, yea, now it is coming back to me. Ok folks get ready for the parable of the church who wanted to start the softball team!

Charlie: (hanging and shaking his head) You know if you have something else to do. You can go and do it. I can perform this skit with out you.

Karen: Oh please don’t cut me out of the skit AGAIN! It would be the forth time this month. I’ll try harder.

Charlie: Ok. Now we would like to perform for you a skit on the Parable of the lost coin. The lady lost a coin and she tore her house apart until she found it. She needed that coin and could not rest until it was back safe with her. Ok, Karen have you got the script?

Karen: I thought that you had it.

Charlie: Well, since I know my lines and you don’t. You should have it.

Karen: Riiight. I will be right back! ( she exits)

Charlie: Folks, I apologize. This is very unprofessional of her. We will have the script in just a minute and then you will see, live in 3-D, the parable of the lost coin.

Karen; ( still below stage) Here scripty, scripty, scripty. Where are you? Aha! There you are. No… that’s a sock. ( each item she finds she tosses up). Pepsi bottle, shoe, grandma’s teeth, a pig,( with pig squeal)   ( She comes up with a pair of boxers in her hand, we used Spongebob underwear) Oh here's that pair of underwear you were looking for.

Charlie; HEY put those down....(pushes them back down) 

Karen; Pizza box....  I FOUND IT! ( re-enters with script)

Charlie: Hallelujah!   

Karen: ( dancing around) I found it, I found it. Oh I missed you. I will never let you get away again! You are so special to me.

Charlie: Oh well we were going to perform the skit for you and tell you how God rejoices when someone who is lost in their sin is saved. A matter of fact all of heaven celebrates when someone who is lost in sin finds God. Just like the woman rejoiced when she found the coin, but we are out of time.

Karen: Maybe next time, but keep that softball team idea in mind.
