Skits for Download
For 8 years, the ROCK has been involved in a monthly Skit ministry in Ascension Worship Services. Several people have requested that past skits be made available for distribution.
Format: This library of skits is slowly being loaded on line and are available in MS Word, MS PowerPoint, and pdf formats.
Directions: Look at skits in the format of your choice. If you decide to use a skit, our conditions for using them are stated in the adjacent* “Conditions for Use Copyright Statement” that appears with each skit.
Skit notes: (1) Some skits are “localized” to the church of origin (e.g., Ames, Lutheran, etc.), so feel free to localize them to your own city/congregation. (2) Obviously, substitute the names of your actors in the cast list at the top, noting that some parts have many lines, and others have few. (3) Take liberties with creative costuming of the characters.
Questions: Contact David Skarshaug (david@skarshaug.com) if you have questions about any of this.
