Before Dinner (after prayer)
Frilly the Kid enters on horse stick and says, “Whoa Bessie”. He is all
dressed in frills.
Frilly The Kid
– My name’s Frilly the kid. (Pause) You think that’s funny? You try
being stuck with that name! So all you come out here looking for gold?
You all out here trying to get rich? You heard about the gold out in
these here hills? Well it is MY gold! If you know what’s good for you,
you wouldn’t be sticking around here. (pat gun in holster) There be
bandits around here!
Deputy – Are
you bothering these good people Frilly?
Frilly The Kid
– Oh no, I was just welcoming em… Welcoming em and warning em about
those goodie two shoe Value Bandits.
Deputy – Oh
those Value Bandits are just a legend Frilly.
Frilly The Kid
– A legend who is mining for this here gold of mine and giving it to
charity…. Those no good, dirty, rotten do-gooders! Those Value Bandits
are giving me a BAD name! If any of you be seeing em you be letting me
know! I will show them what being a bandit really means…. Come on
Bessie (the stick horse) lets go beat them to the mother load! (Gallops
away and says) YEE HAW!!
Deputy –
Sorry... I didn’t get a chance to introduce myself. I am the deputy of
CTR Junction. That Frilly the Kid is bad news. He plans to find the
mother lode and take over this town. Instead of CTR Junction, I am
afraid we would become CTW Junction. That would be quite a tragedy but
if we could find the mother lode first, we could save CTR! Will you
help me? (motion the audience to respond – ask again until the audience
agrees) I have some clues here for ya’all. These clues should help us
find the mother lode before that bandit. Don’t open up your clues until
you are told. I am going to go see if I can find some more clues. I
will come back later and see what ya’all have figured out. Now go get
some grub, you are going to need your energy to solve this puzzle.

Table. Serve BBQ, Beans, Potato Casserole, Salad & Rolls. Cobbler for
Dessert.

End of
Dinner: Deputy comes in smiling.
Deputy - I
found the mother lode! Can you believe it? The Value Bandits led me
right to it! (Value Bandits come in together = the leaders) Time to
celebrate!
(Have the girls
come up here and hooting and hollering and have them do their line
dance!)
Frilly The Kid
– Did I hear someone say they found gold? Is this a trick? Where’s my
treasure?
(Girls run back
to their seats when they hear Frilly the Kid)
Faith Bandit:
Frilly Bandit
tricks are for kids!
The treasure we
found, it lies within.
It is something
you can’t see yet something you know.
Having faith in
the Lord is more precious than gold.
Frilly the Kid
– A treasure that you can’t see is no treasure at all. Has that white
hat made you lose your mind?
Knowledge
Bandit: (Green)
Your mind is a
gift from God that you are given.
All that you
know goes with you to heaven.
Knowledge is
the key
To unlock
eternity!
Frilly the Kid
– I don’t know anything about heaven just give me my gold and I’ll be
leavin. Oh no! now I am a rhyming too, get you all out, go away,
shooo!!!
Divine Nature
Bandit: (Blue)
To know of your
nature, that it is Divine
More precious
than gold are you in His sight.
Frilly the Kid
– More precious than gold you say I am! That is crazy, I am out of here
man!
Individual
Worth Bandit: (Red)
Before you go
Of your worth
you must know
If you could
just realize
That value that
you have inside!
Frilly the Kid
– The only value that I be knowin is the kind that sparkles and is a
glowin!
Good Works
Bandit: (yellow)
With every good
deed, from within you will glow
A feeling this
good is better than any mother lode.
Frilly the Kid
–
The mother
lode, you found it, you are a stinking thief,
Give it here
this moment or I’ll see you rest in peace!
Integrity
Bandit: (purple)
Aah peace is a
possession that many do seek
Integrity and
honesty will bring that to the meek.
For when you
live with honor, happy you will be
Possessions can
be bought but joy does not come free!
Frilly the Kid
– Now my head is spinning, you’ve got me all confused. I speak of gold
and riches and you talk of God’s values?
Choice &
Accountability Bandit: (orange)–
It is all a
matter of choice, each decision that you make
Will decide
your future and your heavenly fate.
If you choose
wisely, then you will find
That the riches
of eternity, in your values lie!
Frilly the Kid
– Can someone please explain exactly what you mean? Did you find the
mother load or is this just a dream?
Deputy – Frilly
the Kid – don’t you get it? This rhyming thing really is quite
contagious! In CTR Junction there is no value in gold. Living the
gospel standards is the mother lode! Oh… here comes the Sheriff!
Where have you been? Will you explain to these people what I’m trying
to say?
Sheriff – Have
the bishop speak to the girls about Standing Fast to the Values. The
Values of the world are like Fools Goals and but the Standards of the
Church never change…

Got To Stand For Something” performed by a male guitarist
