The Lost Keys - Children's Adventure (action story)

Prep: make pretend cameras for all kids. A cardboard square with a eye hole in the top, and a small cardboard tube stuck on the front.
Place around the room beforehand two puppet birds and puppeteers, a snake, and another toy bird or animal hard to see.
A car lock 'beep beep' sound effect is a bonus

Hey kids, it's time for a children's adventure. Come down the front.

Hi kids. Today we're going to go on a little adventure. We're going to copy the steps of an adventure a man had out in the Australian bush. 

This man loved bird watching. Does anyone here like bird watching? 
How about anyone in the audience?

This man loves birds, actually, he loved any sort of animal, and he loved to take photos of whatever he could find out in the bush. 

So we’re all gong to go on a little bush walk, like this man, to see what animals we can photograph around the church.
Do you all have a camera here? You don't? I have some you can have. (hand out)

Silent Sabbath

 Somber music plays.

Puts bible and keys on a table after coming home. Very still and sad.

Calls on phone, can hear the ringing and voicemail in main speakers

Hi you’ve called Jesus of Nazareth, I can’t answer your call right now, but... [beep beep beep]

Hi you’ve called Jesus of Nazareth, I can’t answer your call right now, but leave a message and I’ll get back to ... [beep beep beep]

Hi you’ve called...

[Slams phone on table when last message just starts and leaves before hearing the whole message in full]

...Jesus of Nazareth, I can’t answer your call right now, but leave a message and I’ll get back to you once I’m raised on the third day. Chat soon. I love you.
