Sunday -- Enter Andy's Room as Our Weeklong Skit Begins

An alien from spaces interrupts the conclusion of church to deliver a very important message.

Our story actually began this year at the conclusion of Skid's sermon. A spaceman arrived unannounced and surprised Skid with a special envelop to remained seal until its called for at some time in the near future. Exactly when it is to be opened and its contents revealed is never state and just as mysteriously the spaceman is whisked off. So who is the mysterious spaceman? Does he come in peace? What's inside the oddly logoed envelop? From whence did it come and who is it's author? We'd could tell you, dear reader. But we still have a week's worth of skits so we're just going to keep you in suspense until the proper moment. So stay turned buckaroos and space rangers. All will be revealed in time.

As the basis of this week, we are using the Toys from the Toy Story movies to help us underscore the underlying theme of this weeks scriptural emphasis -- Ephesians 2 and the question of our identity as Christians. Tonight our skit opened in Andy's room, where we meet the good guys among Andy's toys, which naturally includes Woody, Jessie, Bullseye, Buzz Lightyear, Little Bo Peep, Wheeze the Penguin, the toy Army Men, Pinata, T-Rex, Ham, and, of course, the Trolls. Next, our cast of villains were also introduced, or at least a few of them to begin our story -- Lotso Hugs the purple strawberry scented bear and Raggedy Ann and Andy. There promises to be more villains waiting to join our crew. And so we set up what will be an epic battle for control of Andy's room.

However, tonight's skit was interrupted for a very important surprise event -- the first ever NBYG Barn Party in celebration of American Director Tom Begin's birthday!

Is there a better way to open a night of entertainment than with our traditional beach ball races between the chicos and chicas?

 

Batteries and the notion of our power source...may play a pivotal role in our week's skit. Stay tuned, buckaroos!

What's Woody without his faithful, adventure-loving Jessie! Little Bo Peep looks on.

Our teens love to...ham it up. Sorry, couldn't help myself. Bonnie Blaylock, you're represented.

Only one word can describe the entrance of our squad of plastic soldiers -- Awesome!

Skid suits up as one of the many action figures to be found in his office. I guess you could say our youth minister has his Buzz on. 

The amazing Andy's Room set here on location in Ensenada.

 

 

Our life-size Pinata catches a break...

Once again our resident eye doctor is nothing but professional as Lotso Hugs, the strawberry scented bear...complete with Yankee Candle aerosol spray. It may become useful in the boy's dorm before the week is over.

One of these two raggedy folks is a North Boulevard elder....

Our cast sans costumes practicing for the evening's performance.

Thank you, Brother Donnie, for your work on our set. Who knew that cardboard was an arts medium?
