We Heart the Worship Team

Dedicated to our beloved worship leader

CHARACTERS

Toby, Lachlan, Leah- Members of the church drama team

Jeremy- The worship leader

The rest of the worship team

TOBY- Good morning, everyone. Before we get started with worship today, we'd like to do a little tribute. That's right. We, the drama team, would like to pay tribute to our FAVORITE people... our worship team.

The worship team enters, picks up their instruments, and gets in place.

TOBY- You know, so many people come into this church week in and week out, without thinking for a moment how much work goes into our services. These people work very hard. And we should know. Every Wednesday night, we come in to practice our skits.

Lachlan and Leah enter.

TOBY- And when we get here, the worship team is already there!

Jeremy and the worship team enter.

LACHLAN- Hey, man. Can we humble actors have about twenty minutes to run through the skit?

JEREMY- Out of my face, actor boy.

Lachlan and Leah exit.

TOBY- Yes, it's true. The worship team is right here, on the stage, rehearsing for Sunday at the same time we could use the stage for drama rehearsal. But we're glad to take the tiny storage room off the stage crammed with music stands, mic stands, and speakers for our rehearsal. We don't need the room.

A crash is heard off stage.

LEAH- (off) I'm okay!!

WORSHIP TEAM- Shhhhh!!!

TOBY- They've been known to play late into the night, all so you can better worship God. Then on Sunday mornings, who's here bright and early?

Lachlan and Leah enter.

LACHLAN- Hey, we're here! Can we run through the skit?

JEREMY- Later, dude. We're sound checking.

TOBY- That's right, they're sound checking and fine tuning hours before worship. They understand we need an on stage run through, but we're always glad to sit and wait while they do more important things like this.

Jeremy tunes his guitar slowly.

TOBY- And don't forget this!

JEREMY- Check check. One, two. Check. One, two. Check check. Mic check one, two. Check check.

Jeremy steps back. Lachlan and Leah make a move for the stage.

JEREMY- Check check, one, two, check check. One, two.

TOBY- Yes, sometimes we're waiting hours for our chance to practice the ministry we offer the Lord.

LEAH- This is ridiculous. I'm going to the restroom.

Leah exits.

TOBY- But eventually, they give us what we need.

JEREMY- Okay, Tom Hanks, you're up.

LACHLAN- Wait, Leah's in the restroom.

JEREMY- Sorry, dude. You can't make the schedule, you're cut.

Leah enters. She and Lachlan mime a conversation where he tells her they're cut. Leah gets angry, starts miming yelling.

TOBY- Yes, it's true. We don't always get to go on, but it's just the worship team's way of keeping us accountable. One of the many lessons that we learn from them. Like the humility they teach us by making us rehearse in the closet.

Leah makes a run to strangle Jeremy and trips over mic cords.

TOBY- And of course, to look where we're going so we don't run off and hurt ourselves.

JEREMY- Will the actors please clear the stage???

TOBY- So, worship team, we thank you for the humility and wisdom you give us in your pursuit of excellence, because if it wasn’t for you--

JEREMY- Hey, actor boy, times up. Off the stage.

TOBY- But I was just finishing my--

JEREMY- MOVE!!

Toby exits.
