Description

Doing the will and work of God. David performed a monumental task in meeting with the 9 foot tall Goliath (a giant). David was courageous and obeying God. The first part of the drama is spent with the children during the church service, then they procede to their S.S. class and continue lesson.

The actor should thoroughly read the account of David in the Bible, particularly the account of David's meeting with the giant, Goliath, in 1 Samuel 17.

Prior to David entering the sanctuary, the pastor invites the children to come to the front of the church.

Sample of script:

Pastor says: The great thing about Children's Church is that you get to learn about God and about people in the Bible who have served God. And this morning we have a special treat for you! We have a very special person coming to talk to you in Children's Church this morning.

David enters sanctuary from side door:

Good morning! My name is David. I'm sure that all of you have heard of me. This morning we are going to go to your Sunday School room and talk about giants. Can anyone tell me what a giant is? . . . Many years ago in our land there lived a very large giant named Goliath. He was pant of the army of our enemy and everyone in our army was afraid of him. I decided that I must fight the giant.

But rather than a sword I used this. Does anyone know what this is called? . . . . . . It is called a slingshot. You search for smooth stones and put them right here and the stone flies through the air very fast. I was very proud to do the right thing for God. But, I'm sad to say, I didn't always do the right things. And when I did wrong God chastened me.
