Sweet Spot Ministry Opportunities

Are you “qualified” to serve… or just willing? Sweet Spot Ministry Opportunities© is a fast-paced, 4-minute comedy sketch that exposes the sometimes absurd way churches can overcomplicate simple service. Inspired by Romans 12:6, the play introduces the rigid Eloise Lecreesh of the MSSLRC (Ministry Sweet Spot Locator Resource Commission), who believes only the elite few are suited for women’s ministry—according to her own baffling standards.

But when real women with real hearts for service speak up, things take a turn. Through laughter and heart, this sketch reminds us that God gives different gifts to each of us, and every believer has a place in the body of Christ.

Run Time: 4 minutes
Cast: 4+ female roles
Bible Reference: Romans 12:6
Staging: Blank stage with chairs and a clipboard

Perfect for women's ministry events, church volunteer Sundays, or leadership kickoffs with a touch of humor and truth.

Excerpt – Formatted Sample Script

(Several ladies are seated on stage. Eloise enters, clears her throat, and addresses the group.)

ELOISE: Good evening. We welcome you to MSSLRC. I am Eloise Lecreesh. Now without further ado, let us get on with proceedings.

ROSE: MSSL... R... what?

ELOISE: MSSLRC. Ministry Sweet Spot Locator Resource Commission. And just whom are you?

ROSE: I am Rose McKenzie.

ELOISE (unimpressed): Of course you are... Now then, we will call our first suspect. Her name is...

ROSE: Suspect? What’s a suspect?

ELOISE (losing patience): We are wasting our precious time here! For your information, Rose, a suspect is one who...
(rolls her eyes)
...would wish to be involved in church ministry. And it is for us to determine the suitability, substance, sustainability, and succinct standards of—

ROSE: I don’t understand. There is a place in ministry for everyone and, although gifts vary...

ELOISE: For everyone?
(puts on very large glasses and circles Rose, sizing her up and down)
Oh my, my, and just who judged your suitability, substance, sustainability, and succinct standards of—

ROSE (getting annoyed): See here, I will have you know that I have served in all areas of women’s ministry for many years and I—

ELOISE (looks down her nose): That, my dear, was prior to the formation of MSSLRC. Regardless, I shall get back to you to determine your suitability, substance, sustainability, and succinct standards of—

ROSE (angry): Well, I never!

ELOISE: Agreed, dearie. You never have. But we shall see if we can slot you in some obscure and properly meaningless post. Now, let’s see... our first suspect is...
(fumbles papers)
Oh yes, Adeirf Ssor.

FRIEDA (stands, uncomfortable): That’s Frieda Ross. Frieda Ross.

ELOISE: Nonsense.
(holds up papers)
See here, it says...
(realizes mistake)
Why, seems little old me has made a slight error—got the paper upside down. Now then, Frieda, what chore in women’s ministry would you see yourself struggling toward?

FRIEDA: I have always thought that serving in Overseas Mission Support would be...

ELOISE (laughing uncontrollably): Overseas Mission Support? Oh my, that is a knee-slapper! Hardly a candidate for that now, are we?

FRIEDA: But I worked with Donna Rogers for years when she chaired that committee and—

ELOISE (takes out measuring tape, holds it up to Frieda): I wonder if perhaps a salad slicer... Yes, I believe you will do reasonably well as a salad slicer.
(starts pushing Frieda offstage)
There’s a potluck next Thursday—bring your own knife. Who’s next?
