There's A Hole In My Heart
Clowns Liza, Gabby and Polly.
Props
- Hearts: Begin with a large thick piece of durable foam. Cut it in
the shape of a heart. Then cut a second heart out of the center so that
you have a large heart with an empty center and a smaller heart which
fits back in exactly. Using a paint which does not eat foam, paint both
hearts bright red. Letter 'JESUS' on the smaller heart.
- Money: Play money - try to get the really big variety.
- Candy: One or more chocolate bars - if possible, get the extra large
ones. If you will perform this skit regularly, consider covering cardboard
with the wrappers so that you can keep the prop on hand.
- Fun: This could be a bright colored plastic slinkey or some other
toy.
This skit is based on the folk song, 'There's A Hole In My Bucket, Dear Liza'.

Each of us has a hole in our heart that only Jesus can fill.
Nothing else will fit there.
Until we ask Jesus to fill it, we'll never be really happy.

What about me? I think I have a hole in my heart too.
Will Jesus fill my hole too?

Jesus loves you (points to clowns)
And you (pointing to children) and you and every one of us
