SKIT AND MUSIC FOR NAME (Contact person) Susan Boback WHAT: Skit and music for camp Sunday WHEN: Used in place of the sermon; held prior to Bible camp sessions WHERE: In the sanctuary, in front if appropriate space WHY: To encourage participation in attending camp; to increase awareness of entire congregation about what camp is about; to show God's guidance in all we do; optional, to raise funds for camp scholarships HOW: Information following SONGS LIST FOR CAMP SUNDAY
(This song gets the congregation moving. Split into two groups. One group is the Allelu's; the other group is the Praise's. When the word "Allelu" is sung, that group stands up to sing; when the words, "Praise ye…" are sung, that group stands up to sing. Sometimes it causes confusion, which in turn causes laughter. It's a lot of fun; even the elderly enjoy it!) CHILDREN'S SERMON/SKIT FOR BIBLE CAMP SUNDAY There could be several kids/adults involved, a mix of young and old. The idea is based on scripture and song and sends the message that in order to go on a journey, (in this case, the group is going to Bible Camp) you must be prepared. The skit begins with the group getting together with their camping gear; then asking for help and looking for their map for their journey. The story unfolds with the campers looking through their bags to find their maps; discovery of many camping related items which then inspire either a scripture verse and/or a song; and a conclusion. The congregation will have the words of the songs printed in their bulletin and will be encouraged to listen to the dialogue, and sing along with the songs as they hear them being sung. One of the campers should accompany the songs with guitar, and be ready to begin an introduction to the song immediately after the last words are spoken before the song is to begin. Young children (who usually come forward for the children's sermon) and adults who went to Bible Camp could come forward or this can be presented to the congregation without anyone coming forward. Campers enter the congregation, coming from many directions. Also any children or adults may come forward at this time. The skit takes place in the center front of the sanctuary. Camper 1: "This camping gear is too heavy." (DROPS THE BACKPACK, LOOKS TIRED AND DISGUSTED)
SONG TWO WE ARE WALKING IN THE LIGHT OF GOD
SCRIPTURE: "No one lights a lamp and hides it in a jar or puts it under a bed. Instead, he puts it on a stand, so that those who come in can see the light." LUKE 8:16 (This could be read by a voice not present in the group of campers; or a voice which is heard over the P.A. system and not seen.)
SONG FOUR ARK-Y, ARK-Y
SCRIPTURE: "How beautiful on the mountains are the FEET that bring good news." ISAIAH 52:7. (There is a song sung by Sandi Patti called, "Beautiful Feet" that would be great to use here.)
SONG FIVE: JOY, JOY, JOY, JOY DOWN IN MY HEART
LAST SONG: ALLELU FOLLOWING THE SERVICE, WE WILL HAVE A CAMPER'S MEAL OF HOT DOGS, CHIPS AND POP. (A free-will offering may be taken at the lunch to be used towards scholarships for campers) |
