North Moreland's Sunday School Banner

On the Monday before the Sunday School Rally I actually knew whose banner this was and what their skit was about. I was told to keep it from everyone else. The person who told me, also said they would get me one of their t-shirts for the Sunday School Rally. The verse is from James 3:6...

And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell. James 3:6

The whole skit revolved around these people calling one another on the phone and telling that they saw their pastor in a certain part of town. Of course the story kept getting bigger and bigger, but the story wasn't true he was visiting a new family that lived their. They also had this guy from their church dress up like this giant monster tongue. At the end, their pastor had this giant Bible and chased the monster tongue from the church. It was so funny.

North Moreland ended up receiving 3rd place for their skit. They also received 1st in most in attendance, growth by percentage, and best theme. They received 2nd place for most under 18 in attendance and 2nd place in banner vote. Below is a photo of the monster tongue.

Reedville's Sunday School Banner

For the life of me I can't remember the song that they used. I know they used their puppets to do their skit and they told the story of Zacchaeus. I remember that Jesus and others walked around the church and Jesus went to the stage and got the Zacchaeus puppet and walked around carrying the puppet, but as I said I can't remember the song. I should have wrote it down. I do remember it was a Bill Gaither song.

Highland Bend's Sunday School Banner

For only having a week or so to make this banner I think the lady who made it done a wonderful job. She quilted the whole thing. I love how Jesus' hands are in the middle. During their presentation they sung "Jesus Loves Me" and "Little Is Much." They also told a little about their church and the banner.

Logan's Sunday School Banner

Logan sung "Power in the Blood" they told that every church service the little children sings this. A lady from their church read Revelation 1:5...

And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood. Revelation 1:5

Jeanettes Creek's Sunday School Banner

Jeanettes Creek for their part at the Sunday School Rally sung "Come and Dine." What I especially liked about their part was they told about the banner. The person who drew the hands of Jesus is a new Christian. It is so wonderful to hear when new Christians are working for their church and taking part.

Johns Run Sunday School Banner

I really loved Johns Run's skit. They had two boys walking on the stage and they came to a door. The one boy asked where it came from and the other said he didn't know. The first boy said it's shiny and makes me want to touch it (I thought this was really funny). Then they tried to open the door but it wouldn't open. A girl came along and she went through the door, so then they tried again but couldn't open it. Then another person went through. Someone else came along and ask what they were doing and they told him they were trying to get the door open. They tried to use money, keys, and physical strength but they couldn't get it open. The man that came along said that it wouldn't open with those things, they had to have special keys. The special keys were prayer, studying the Bible, and worship.

Another part I liked about their skit is there pastor (Delmar Rogers) went through the door. And the one boy said he was going to open the door with his strength but couldn't. The man said that strength wouldn't work and the other boy said that they found that out when Delmar went through. We all thought that was funny. Johns Run received 2nd place for their skit.

Bonser Run's Sunday School Banner

Bonser Run CBC banner theme was their Vacation Bible School theme. I really loved their skit. They had two adults, a teenage boy, and two teenage girls holding signs waiting for this singer (which was a made up character). They were talking about how excited they were to get to meet him and one girl said if he shook her hand she would never wash it again (LOL!). Then this guy come along and ask what they were doing and they told him that they were waiting for this guy. The other guy had never heard of him before and the others could not believe it. The guy then went on to say that the singer was just a regular guy like them and that they shouldn't worship him but they should worship God because he made everyone. When they were leaving they said they were going to church and this part I really loved, one of the teenage girl said, "I'm so over him!" It was a really good skit.

The verse on the banner says...

Let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation. Psalm 95:1
