Description
Winning the race with God’s grace, finding purpose in life by knowing and TRUE WORSHIP.
This is Segment #3 of 5 part drama “KNOWING GOD’S PEOPLE”.
NOTE all segments can be ordered as standalone scripts, or as the complete series.
Winning The Race is designed for VBS or children’s camp, but useful in all settings. The skit uses 5 racer drivers, who are, (to be kind), unique. But it all comes together to find God’s purpose in our life through the theme of car racing, (and a motivating degree of good family-friendly humor, this to hold the attention of kids and their leaders LOL), to focus on finding purpose in life through the 5 segments indicated below:
- This script, “Winning The Race – Knowing God’s People” focuses on Knowing God’s People, and is Segment #3 of 5 standalone segments, (the cost of purchasing scripts as individuals is, of course, higher than ordering the complete series).
