Lifehouse everything skit question, need ideas ASAP!!!?

Question

Ok, my church is wanting to do the lifhouse skit when we go on a mission trip to a boys home in Kentucky. Therefore, the main character is going to be a male, what are some ideas instead of the dancing at the end? Also, one of the adults on our team feels that the suicicde part at the end is too much, (the rest of us feel that it brings the whole skit together.) since we don't want to be divided on the mission trip, we are not going to do it, unless we can find an alternate way of presenting the ending. Please ideas ASAP! thanks!

Answer 1

(SORRY CAPS IN MIDDLE. DONT HAVE TIME TO EDIT )

i dont know your age.. but I think if you feel   the suicide  is needed, speak to your pastor again.   WE CANT  SHELTER CERTAIN INDIVIDUALS.  ITS LIFE!!    You/  your church can make an announcemt b4 skit , that there may be some graphic details , that may need parental guidence, but I wouldnt  get rid of the whole part.

We seen that  skit w. lighthouse..and  just a few months ago our church did it.

I BELIEVE the suicide gives lots &  something to think about. that the Lord is there to save us.. when we need HIM the most . He can get us thru ANYTHING . I think its needed. we dont just face , drinking, and   s*x addiction.. there are so many , not just youth that 'think they need a way out '.I think if there is at least only 1 in your crowd watching the skit ,thats sees the  suicide part, and realIZES. 'WOW..  I FEEL THAT SOMETIMES.. HE CAN  TOUCH MY HEART , AND HE CAN SAVE ME ?".i THINK TIS NEEDED, AND WORTH IT.

the last part 9 suicide ) thats what touches us..many that are at their last straw.IT CANT be ecnored. its life..

iD SPEAK TO YOUR PREACHER/PASTOR.

HAVE A GREAT TIME.

I CRY EACH TIME i SEE THAT , NOT JUST THE ORIGINAL. . iTS VERY MOVING.. iTS THE HOLY SPIRIT.

HAVE FUN .

Answer 2

Hey! I play the main girl in this skit for my church and let me tell you it is very, very emotional. To bring yourself all the way down to feeling that you're at rock bottom and even considering suicide is a very disturbing thing to do. I can imaine that it could be disturbing for young kids to watch. Since you are doing it with a guy instead of a girl, when you're dancing with God at the start and end, you should probably keep the synchronized arm/leg movements and maybe expand them so that you won't need to do the twirling. I know in our skit there's a vanity/low self esteem character who makes me think I'm not pretty enough and I end up making myself throw up. That might not mean very much to a group of boys, so you'd want to think of something else to fill that time. As to the end part with the suicide, are you going to keep the cutting in? That's another thing to think about. At the end of mine right before I put the gun to my head I'm on the ground in pretty much utter defeat with death/depression looming over me. That's pretty powerful right there and you might be able to just stop it there instead of going to the gun. Well I hope this has helped you, God bless your team on the trip!
