The red should be a man and he needs to be off stage,Out of site The black can be a male or a female center on their knees praying
Lord’s Prayer
Our father who art in Heaven
Yes?
Don’t interrupt me I’m Praying
But~ you called me
Called you? No. I didn’t call you. I’m praying, Our Father who art in Heaven.
There ~ you did it again
Did What?
Called me. You said “our Father who art in Heaven” Well here I am, what on your mind?
But I didn’t mean anything by it. I was, you know, Just saying my prayers for the day. I always say the Lord’s Prayer. It makes me feel good Kind of like well fulfilling my duty.
Alright go on.
Okay, Hallowed be thy name…
Hold it right there. What do you mean by that?
By what?
By “Hallowed be thy name?
It means….it means…good grief. I don’t know what it means. How in the world should I know? It’s just part of a Prayer.
By the way what does it mean?
It means Honored, holy, Wonderful.
Hay, that makes sense. I never thought about what “Hallowed” meant before. Thanks.
Thy kingdom come , thy will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven.
Do you really mean that?
Sure why not?
What are you doing about it?
Doing? Why, nothing, I guess. I just think it would kind of neat if you could get control of everything down here like you have up there. We’re kinda in a mess down here you know…
Yes, I know. But…Have I got control of you?
Well, I go to church.
That’s not what I asked you.
What about your bad temper?
You’ve really got a problem there, you know. And then, there the way you spend your money…all on yourself. And what about the kind of books you read?
Now hold on just a minute! Stop picking on me! I’m just as good as some of the rest of those people at church!
Excuse me!
I thought you were praying my will be done. If that is to happen, it will have to start with the ones that are praying for it. Like You… For example…
Oh all right. I guess I do have some hang ups. Now that you mention it. I could probably name some others.
So Could I.
I haven’t thought about it much until now. But, I really would like to cut out some of those things. I would like to, you know be really free.
Good
Now we’re getting somewhere, we’ll work together-- You and me…I’m proud of you.
Look Lord if you don’t mind I need to finish up here. This is taking a lot longer than it usually does.
Give us this day, our daily bread.
You need to cut out the bread you’re overweight as it is.
Hey, wait a minute! What is this? Here I was doing my religious duty, and all of a sudden you break in and remind me of my entire hang up.
Praying is a dangerous thing. You just might get what you ask for. Remember you called me and here I am. It’s too late to stop now. Keep Praying.
…Pause…
Well, Go on…
I’m scared to.
Scared? Of what?
I know what you’ll say
Try Me
Forgive us of our sins, as we forgive those who have sinned against us.
What about Carol?
See! I knew it! I knew you would bring her up!
Why, Lord. She told lies about me. Spread stories. She’s never paid back the money she owes me. I’ve sworn to get even with her!
But ---Your Prayer--- What about you’re Prayer?
I didn’t --- mean it.
Well at least you’re honest. But, it’s quite a load carrying around all that bitterness and resentment isn’t it?
Yes. But I’ll feel better as soon as I get even with her. Boy have I got some plans for her. She’ll wish she had never been born.
No. You won’t feel any better. You’ll feel worse. Revenge isn’t sweet. You know how unhappy you are… well, I can change that.
You can? How?
Forgive Carol. Then I’ll forgive you. And the hate and sin will be Carol’s problem… not yours. You will have settled the problem as far as you are concerned.
Oh, You know you are right. You always are. And more than I want revenge, I want to be right with you… (sigh) All right… All right….I forgive her.
Yeah. I know… but you’re not through with your prayer are you? Go on
Oh, all right. And lead us not into temptation. But deliver us from evil.
Good! Good! I’ll do that. Just don’t put yourself in a place where you can be tempted.
What do you mean by that?
You know what I mean.
Yeah. I know.
Okay, Go ahead and finish your prayer.
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever.
Amen
Do you know what would bring me glory… What would really make me happy?
No. But I would like to know. I want to please you now. I’ve really made a mess of things. I want to truly follow you. I can see now how great that would be. So tell me… how do I make you happy?
You just did…

are looking for a certain theme? Are you looking for skits for certain Number of clowns. How long is you show? Do you do any illusions in your show? One thing I like to do close to the being of the show is where you get 4 volunteers and have them sit down and you pull the chairs out from under them, to demonstrate faith. Unfortunately, you need 4 around the same size and best to have the same gender [for church] so it one I don't often get to do, as it just doesn't work well for little kid sizes. [old one but good one], Clown emergency broadcast is a great filler skit and can include all the clowns.

Belle, Saphiresue and I did that skit at the ally meeting last friday night in Columbia. I handed it to Sue and she read over it and we went through it. It is a good skit. I have done it in my church before out of clown.
Belle,
I did a skit for church which would be much more fun with more clowns. I came in during special singing I told the pastor I had a song to sing. He told me to go ahead. I told him I needed help for him to follow me and do what I did. Now with more clowns you can make a big production of lining up getting movements right etc. Have fun with it. So I started the song Here we go round the mulberry bush. Skipping and going in circles. after a few line the pastor got on to me about it not being a church song.
I had handed out scriptures to other for help I numbered them and called out
Number 1 (2nd Samuel 5:23-24)
Number 2 (1Chronicles 14:14-15)
Number 3 (Rev: 1:4-6
I asked can I pleeeese finish making faces
this went on through the song
this is the way we wash our face wash our face....
#4 Matt 6:16-18
this is the way we put on our clothes....
#5 Job 29:14
#6 Psalms 132:9
#7 Isiah 61:10
this is the way we wash our clothes
#8 REv 7:13-15
A lot of funny motions would make this so funny
end however you think fit
God gave this to me and anyone is welcome to use it
