This script, designed for 5 puppets, teaches that Jesus loves all children, whether rich, poor, popular, dirty, or clean. Jackie tries to keep her brother Vernon from talking to Jordan, a popular basketball star, but learns from Grandma that Vernon wanted to invite Jordan to Vacation Bible School. Keywords:

I used some ideas from Jeff Robson's skit with Billy Bob Cowhorn. I liked the slang he used for the cowboy. It got a few laughs from the kids, and I used a squirting waterbottle for Billy Bob when he hankered for a spit. Keywords:
