Luke 12:13-21
Script:
Pastor: Good morning boys and girls! Welcome! Let’s say good morning to our friend Sammy. Ready? One, two, three: Good morning, Sammy!
Sammy: Pastor! Pastor! Emergency! Emergency!
Pastor: What’s wrong Sammy?
Sammy: Farmer Luke’s garden is doing too well this year! We have thousands of tomatoes, hundreds of onions, bountiful squash. We’ve filled up our cellar. The freezer is full and we still have way too much.
Pastor: That doesn’t sound like an emergency Sammy. It sounds like a good thing. Don’t you want abundant produce?
Sammy: I thought that would be great too Pastor. But we have nowhere to put all the produce. It’s going to rot. I just don’t know what to do.
Pastor: What does farmer Luke think?
Sammy: That’s just the thing Pastor. He doesn’t seem to care at all.
Pastor: Perhaps he already has a plan in place? Maybe he already knows what to do? Kids. What do you think farmer Luke should do with the produce? (Wait for responses)
Sammy: Great answers everyone!
Pastor: Yes they are. Perhaps he is going to share his crops with his friends, family and neighbors.
Sammy: You know what. I think I did hear Farmer Luke on the phone with the food bank. I just didn’t know why.
Pastor: It sounds like Farmer Luke plans to share. Sharing the gifts that God give us is important. He doesn’t give us anything that we should keep hidden away from people. He wants us to share.
Sammy: That makes sense pastor. I will help farmer Luke share his crop this year.
Pastor: Can everyone pray with me? Dear God, thank you for providing us with your great gifts. Thank you providing for our daily needs. Help us to share the gifts you give us with others. In Jesus name we pray. Amen! Bye!
