Props Needed:

A flower planter partially filled with dirt and a small garden shovel.

Characters Needed:

Two–one to be the Gardener and one to be the Gardener’s Friend.
(Scene opens with the Gardener digging in the dirt, as though he/she is preparing to plant something.
The Gardener’s Friend enters.

Gardener’s Friend: Hi! What are you doing?

Gardener: Oh, not much...it’s just that in church school this week we talked about how we have fertile ground at our church for growing Kids To Kids ministry. So, I just thought I’d go ahead and start getting some of our ground ready.

Gardener’s Friend: Wait a minute! That’s not what we meant.

Gardener: How’s that?

Gardener’s Friend: We don’t grow Kids To Kids ministry by actually planting something in the ground! We grow it by our group joining with other UCC and Disciples kids church wide. We grow it by connecting with kids across North America, and around the world, who need our love and help. And, our church has fertile ground because, not only do we have a great group of energetic, spirit-filled kids, we have lots of great adults here who will support us in this ministry.

Gardener: So, we don’t need to plant anything after all?

Gardener’s Friend: We’ll be planting seeds of action, commitment to the Gospel, and the love of God in our world. (Here, you’ll want to describe the Kids To Kids project(s) your group is working on and what help is needed from your congregation.),

Gardener: (picking up the flower planter and shovel) Well, I guess we won’t need this ground prepared after all. Sounds like we have lots bigger ground to cover with Kids To Kids! Let’s get started!
(Both characters exit. At this point, your pastor or an announcer can make a follow-up announcement about whatever help or support is needed from your congregation for Kids To Kids.)
