Amazing Birthdays

Birthdays are special and this skit emphasizes the importance of remembering, celebrating the birthdays and special days of those in leadership in our church.

Although we will often downplay our own special days, the fact is we feel let down and sad when there is no mention when special days happen.

In this skit, a special pastor is having a special birthday, and this tender comedy tells of how much the youth in the church appreciate and love him.

Adjust the age, years, and other relevant details.

Bible Reference: John 10:3

Cast: 1 youth

Set: Lighting, Sound, Costumes: standard

Time: 4

Script:

the actor comes on stage, walking backward, talking with an unseen person offstage

Hey listen, I am so glad you told me about Pastor, I for a fact did not know that, no siree!

Hey, but see you around, for sure!

the actor turns, comes on stage, shaking his head, shocked

Can you imagine? . . . Pastor’s he’s gonna have himself a birthday, how about that!

Hey, I mean, it’s not that Pastor is gonna have himself a birthday so much . . .  I mean like everyone goes and has themselves a birthday and all.

But no one I have ever heard of has themselves a birthday like Pastor he’s gonna have.

The way I figure, Rory, the dude I was chattin’ with him out there a minute ago . . Rory he for sure must’a got his info all messed up! . . . You’re for sure not gonna believe what Rory told me.

Rory says...

actor motions for the audience to come closer, whispers

Rory says . .  Pastor he’s gonna be . . .  69!

hushes the audience

Shhhhhh keep your voices down . . I mean, there’s for sure gotta be a mistake!

I mean, I knew Pastor was gettin’ up there  . . . but  . . 69 . . . Wowsers!

Oh I know there’s been some even older folks around, guys in the past . .  in the Bible.

I seem to recall back some time ago, Pastor he preached about this old guy lived way back in the Old Testament times. . . Methuselah I think was his name. . .  And I mean Methuselah he was like way old . .  72, maybe 73 as I recall.

So if memory serves about Methuselah, Pastor he’s gonna give old Methuselah a run for the record!

I gotta tell you . .  amazing is what our Pastor is. . . Us young people, we are more than blessed to have a Godly man like our Pastor . .  someone we can look up to . . . try to be like him.

I heard tell Pastor he’s been sharing the word of God for like  . .  I believe it’s been like 33 years now! . . And not just sharing God’s word . .  but sharing God’s word in a way that all of us can understand . . . even us younger guys!
