ADVISOR: Hey, ready to go bowling?
Speaker 3: Yeah just one sec, let me answer Jesus real quick!
Advisor: Jesus is texting you again? What’s he saying?
Speaker 3: Well he says he wants us to go on a journey or something….

[SPEAKER 1 moves to the background]
[SPEAKER 2 moves forward. He/she pretends to be following a GPS signal around.]
SPEAKER 2: It’s a good thing I have this GPS. I’d wander in the desert for 40 years without it.
[SPEAKER 2 follows GPS into the background]
[SPEAKER 3 and ADVISOR move forward. ADVISOR pretends to push a shopping cart and SPEAKER 3 puts things in the cart.]
ADVISOR: Now we’re on a budget here, so we can only buy the bare necessities. Hey! What’d you just put in there?
SPEAKER 3: Cheez-Its…
ADVISOR: Cheez-Its, what’re Cheez-Its?
SPEAKER 3: It’s like cheddar flavored communion bread.
ADVISOR: Oh! Well in that case we’d better get some grape juice to go with it.
[SPEAKER 3 and ADVISOR push the cart into the background]
[SPEAKER 1 is sitting pretending to play guitar and singing. SPEAKER 2 walks past]
SPEAKER 1: **Singing some praise song**
SPEAKER 2: Hey! I know that song!
SPEAKER 1: Cool! I learned it because Jesus wanted me to go on a journey.
SPEAKER 2: You’re on a journey for Jesus!? Hey! I’m on a journey too!
SPEAKER 1: I was on a journey.
SPEAKER 2: You were on a journey.
SPEAKER 1: Yeah. But I have absolutely no idea where I’m going.
SPEAKER 2: Well I have a GPS. Why don’t you come with me? I’ll navigate, and you can be in charge of music.
[SPEAKER 1 and SPEAKER 2 walk around for a little]
[SPEAKER 1 and SPEAKER 2 sit down as if they’re famished. SPEAKER 3 and ADVISOR walk past]
SPEAKER 3: Hey, are you guys ok?
SPEAKER 1: We’re a little hungry.
ADVISOR: Well what are you doing out here?
SPEAKER 2: Jesus called us to go on a journey. We met up along the way, and we’ve been helping each other, but we forgot to bring any food.
SPEAKER 1: I haven’t eaten in like 45 minutes!
SPEAKER 3: Hey! We’re on a journey for Jesus too!
ADVISOR: Yeah, and we have plenty of food, why don’t you come with us?
SPEAKER 3: Here, have some Cheez-Its.
ADVISOR: And some grape juice!
[ADVISOR and the SPEAKERs) wonder around together and arrive at the pulpit, where the PASTOR is standing. A phone rings. SPEAKER 2 pulls out his/her phone.]
SPEAKER 2: Hello? … It’s for you.
[SPEAKER 2 hands phone to PASTOR]
PASTOR: Hello? Oh hi Jesus. … Yeah, I’ll tell them… Ok see ya later! Jesus says he wants everyone to join the journey.
