Uniquely Working Together

(Disponible en inglés y español)

In God's Kingdom, no one is gifted with everything — but everyone is gifted with something. This humorous and heartwarming sketch follows two mismatched teams trying to complete a mission to spread God’s Word. One group has bold voices but no way to share the message visually. The other has creativity and artistic flair, but stage fright holds them back.

As both groups struggle to accomplish the task alone, they slowly discover that their strengths — and weaknesses — were designed to work together. In the end, unity wins as they combine their talents for a greater purpose.

All actors stand together as Bob begins the conversation.

Bob:
Thank you all for coming here today. I’ve been told we have a very serious job ahead of us.

(All actors gasp in fright.)

Sue:
Serious? How serious?

Dave:
We’ve never dealt with anything serious before!

Gary:
I didn’t realize there would be work involved!

Bob: (trying to calm them)
People, people – please! I’m just as concerned as you are. I mean, how are we going to accomplish what we need to accomplish when we can’t do everything that we need to accomplish?!

(Everyone looks at Bob, confused.)

Sue:
What did you say?

Gary:
He’s flipped! He can’t handle the pressure!

Dave:
Wait a minute! The first thing we need to do is tell people, right?

(Everyone nods in agreement.)

Dave:
Okay then. Who can make a speech?

Gary: (suddenly hoarse)
I think my voice has left me. . .

Sue:
Don’t even think about asking me! Last time I had to make a speech, I got so nervous I passed out the day before — just thinking about it!
