PUPPET SCRIPT

By Louise Ferry

"AN IMPORTANT SEAL"
 Scripture Reading Ephesians 1:13
 PUPPETS: Mom & Sally









    SALLY: Mother, I was walking passed Pastor's office and he had this thing with a big handle on it and he would put a piece of paper in it and push the handle down. Do you know what it is?

    MOM: Well, Sally, that was the church seal. Pastor Art was sealing baptism certificates. It has the Church's name on it and it marks it so that no one can erase it.

    SALLY: Do all churches have seals?

    MOM: Some do. Some companies do. So do the 50 states of the United States. Our country has a seal too. It is a Latin phrase that means "Out of many, one."

    SALLY: Hey, that's neat.

    MOM: There's another important seal, too, Sally.

    SALLY: What's that, Mom?

    MOM: Well, Sally, you find it talked about in 2 Timothy 2:19, which says, "Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this SEAL, The Lord knoweth them that are His."

    SALLY: That sounds interesting, but what does it mean?

    MOM: You see, Sally, when we become Christians we are sealed with the Holy Spirit and I guess we could say that the motto of our seal is "The Lord knoweth them that are His".

    SALLY: It's kinda like our country's seal or the church's seal, it's something that can't be erased.

    MOM: And when people see that special mark on a baptism certificate or letter, they know it's from the church.

    SALLY: That is very important.

    MOM: Yes, Sally, and when we're sealed with the Holy Spirit, people should be able to see that we belong to the Lord.

    SALLY: You mean we are different than before.

    MOM: I believe you have it, Sally. Others should be able to see by your life that you have His seal upon you.

    SALLY: I think I have learned something here this morning, Mom. Thanks. See you everybody.

    MOM: Bye, Sally. Bye everybody.
