If people are honest in Hudson, Massachusetts, they’ll tell you that, in the eighth grade, I absolutely dominated our church’s dramatic interpretation of Michael Jackson’s “Man in the Mirror.”
Words like “lyrical poetry” and “unstoppable rhythm” come to mind when I think about my ability to tell a story on stage with my dancing. Bottom line: When it comes to church skits, I had the moves like Jagger. I work out.
Pop culture jambalaya!
But just the other day, it hit me, “I haven’t seen a church skit in years!” And they’ve not just gone missing from my church. I visited 20 different churches in 2011 and saw neither hide nor hair of a church skit. No couple before the sermon that is having marriage problems to set the scene. No youth group car crash “I wish we’d all been ready for Jesus” skit. Nary a ribbon was twirled nor a gloved hand was mimed.
Did I miss the memo?
Did we vote skits out of the building?
Did video kill the skit star?
Does your church do skits during service?
