Scripture: But be sure to fear the LORD and serve Him faithfully with all your heart; consider what great things he has done for you.

I Samuel 12:24

Theme: No task is too great or too small as we all serve our Father in heaven.

Props: Broom, a Sign (With the name of your church)

Scene: A hallway at church. A man is sweeping as another church member walks up.

Sweeper: (Whistling or Humming)

Lady: Hey, what are you doing?

Sweeper: (Looking at his broom, holds it like a barbell and lifts) I am working out, can’t you see?

Lady: Ha Ha Funny (As he goes back to his sweeping with a grin) Really, why are you doing that?

Sweeper: The floor was dirty and I told the pastor I would volunteer.

Lady: You have got to be kidding me. I know what you do for a living. You are upper management for a Fortune 500 corporation. Why in the WORLD would you be doing this?

Sweeper: (Stops his sweeping to talk to the lady) Do you remember last week in the announcements when it asked for volunteers to clean on certain days?

Lady: No, not really.

Sweeper: Well, it was there and when I went to see if they needed anymore help, the pastor told me that no one signed up. I asked him who has been. He said that HE has been doing it.

Lady: Oh. So, you are doing it to help him.

Sweeper: No, actually I am doing it for the same reason he was doing it. I am serving the Lord... sometimes, even when it seems to be below others.

Lady: (Ducks her head) I had no idea.

Sweeper: I just want my pastor to be fresh and rested and ready to preach the gospel! To think that my helping at the church could even make a difference on Sunday morning is most gratifying to me!

Lady: I guess I never realized how one job can affect so many others...even something like sweeping. Well, do you have another broom?

Sweeper: You got here just in time. My 2 hour shift is just over, you can have my broom. The choir room still needs some work. (Smiling)

Lady: (Also Smiling) I’ll get right to it! I can’t wait to hear the sermon this Sunday.

Sweeper: With all this sweeping, I am sure it will be incredible!
