Pig in fancy stable with all the amenities a pig could want:

Maggie: Hey Arnold whats going on? Parker: Not much. Just bored out of my mind. Im so tired of everyone telling me when to eat, when to sleep, and when to hang out in my mud hole. Im old enough to decide when I want to do something. Farmer Blake had the nerve to tell me to straighten up my pen and mud hole the other day. Can you believe that? I gave him bragging rights when I won first place at the state fair this year. I am too important of a pig to be cleanin my own stall. Song: When does a Pig stop being a pig. Maggie: When does a pig stop being a pig When is he old enough To make his own choices About his own life When will he be grown up When does pig stop being a pig When will he be in charge To set his own limits To make his own rules Hey can it be so hard Choir: Ive got place to go People to see Things I need to learn myself But how can I ever do this stuff When the boss of me is somebody else When does a pig stop being a pig When can he cut the leash And do his own thinking

And do his own thing When can he live his dream Ive got places to go People to see Things I need to learn myself But how can I ever do this stuff If the boss of me is somebody else. Maggie: when does a pig stop being a pig When is he old enough To make his own choices about his own life When does a pig When does a pig When does a pig Stop being a pig

Hunter: And not Live from the town of Farmington Mississippi Here to keep you updated on whats goin on in Farmington .. WLOVs very own News duo Cameron and John.

(Camera on Tri pods rolling around . Mrs. Melinda with the Take Sign. Shelly sprucing up Kammeron and Johns makeup.) Scene 1 Cammeron and John (Set is a news cast: desk with boy in suit, and girl in Katie Couric look.) John: Today is July 30, 2013 And what a day it is. In Farmington today, there is a urgent outcry. Farmer Blake is bent all out of sorts. We take you live to Farmington Town Hall for this urgent announcement. Urgent breaking news. (Go to interview with Farmer Blake) Farmer Blake has flyers in his hand with pictures of Parker dressed up as the missing pig.

Lea Cartee: Hi, this is Ms. Lea Cartee reporting live from Farmington Town Hall. Im currently with Farmer Blake who is in a frantic state. Farmer Blake would you like to tell the good people of Farmington what has happened? Blake: Why yes, I sure would. My prize pig Arnold has come up missin. I went to give him his slop this morning and he was no where to be found. Why I looked all around his pen. I checked his favorite mud hole and everything. Lea: DO you think he might have ran away? Blake: No Way!!! Arnold is a happy and content pig. (Crying and blowing nose) This is just not like him! Please if anyone sees or hears from him call BR549 as soon as possible. Im also on facebook and Twitter. Lea: Well thank you farmer Blake. Im sure the good people of Farmington will keep an eye out for Arnold. Is there the slightest possibility that she may have decided to leave your farm for what you might call greener pastures. Blake: Ever since he won 1st place at the state fair, he has been a little high on the hog. You know full of himself. And I have spoiled him. I put air conditioning in his pen, stainless steel troth, all the amenities a pig could ever hope for. There are no greener pastures. Arnold would never give in to riotous living. Lea: Did Arnold take anything with him when he left? Blake: All that was missin was his piggy bank with all his state fair winnings. What a pig could do with all that money Ill never know? Lea: Well there you have it. We have a rouge pig on the loose in the Farmington community. Now back to you John. John: Thank you Farmer Blake and Miss. Cartee. People of Farmington your help in this matter would be greatly appreciated. Please call the numbers flashing across the bottom of your screen if you have any information. (Have kids hold piece of paper rolled on two polls and wind it across stage with BR549 on it.) Kameron: And now in local news, that famous musical group from Farmington Baptist church WLOV is preparing to go on their annual childrens choir tour. We now take you live to Farmington Baptist Church where our own Marlee Seals is there to give us the scoop. Marlee? Marlee: Yes Kameron, Kameron: Whats goin own there?

Marlee: Well as you can see the musical group WLOV is preparing to go on their annual choir tour. This year WLOV is going to those great Smoky Mountains. They plan on going to Dolly Wood and you never know, they may meet Mrs. Dolly herself. Here are two of their main members Adrianna and Olivia. Olivia can you tell me about what you hope to accomplish on your tour?

Olivia: Sure, we hope to take the good news of Jesus Christ to great Smokies. We want others to know all the wonderful things Jesus has done for us. The love of Jesus is a powerful thing. With his love there is nothing, even a bunch of country kids like us, can t do. In Phillipians 4 verse 13 the Bible says I am able to do all things through Him who strengthens me.

Adrianna: Yes and Not only are we suppose to share his love with others but we are commanded to love God with all our hearts. In Mark 12: 30-31 Gods word says - "'And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.' This is the first commandment. And the second, like it, is this: 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no other commandment greater than these. (Mark 12:30-31) WLOV believes that we need to share Gods love with our neighbors in the Smokies. Marlee: Do you think you guys could share one of your songs with us. Both Kids in unison: WE WOULD LOVE TO.

(Children come up on stage do song. Pig is in Choir.)

Song: I love to be with you. Moriah: When Im walking I can hear you talking When Im singin Your dancing with me You give me reason To breathe again In fact Lord you make it possible

You are like a flower blooming in the spring And you are like the colors of an autumn leaf You are like the sea in all its majesty And that is why I love to be with you I love to be with you I love to be with you I love to be with you I love to be with you Sadie: You whisper your love in the morning And you cradle my head in the evening You give me reason to dance in the sun After I have been in the cold You are like a flower blooming in the spring And you are like the colors of an autumn leaf You are like the sea in all its majesty And that is why I love to be with you I love to be with you I love to be with you I love to be with you I love to be with you Love to be Love to be with you Love to be Love to be with you Love to be

Love to be with you Love to be Love to be with you You are like a flower blooming in the spring And you are like the colors of an autumn leaf You are like the sea in all its majesty And that is why I love to be with you

Kameron: Was that a Pig in the choir??? John: Na Pigs arent allowed in Church. Kameron: Oh (Stunned to be caught talking to John ) And now we take you to weather with that crazy guy AJ. AJ whats the forecast look like? (As AJ does the news cast Arnold peeks in and smiles.) AJ: Well we have a cold front coming in. Its suppose to be a chillin 92 this week. Plus were hoping for rain on Sunday. Heres your five day outlook. A low pressure front is moving from the gulf followed by some torrential rain. This is likely to be noticed little by Farmington as it will dissipate rapidly as it moves north of Tupelo. The end of the week looks pleasant with only a few scattered showers and now we take you live to Farmington Baptist Church to see the weather up close a personal. Grace like Rain Amazing grace How sweet the sound That saved a wretch like me I once was lost But now Im found Was blind but now I see Hallelujah, grace like rain falls down on me Hallelujah, all my stains are washed away therere washed away Twas grace that taught my heart to fear and grace my fears relieved How precious did that grace appear the hour I first believed

Many of the mothers of the contestants are outraged and demanding to see the scores and how the judges arrived at their decision. Im here with our esteemed Mayor Fortenberry. Mayor what brought about this contraversy. Mayor(Hunter) : Well nothing but that ugly green eyed monster called jealously. Our winner who also happens to be my neice Honey Moo Moo, was clearly the most beautiful contestant. People just want a scandal thats all. All the judging was clearly fair.(Mayor hugging hunter dressed as beauty) (Background with Jodie as winner and pig doing his thing) ALI: Well Mayor we would like to get all sides of the story. This is the first runner up Miss. Ella Mask. Ella what do you have to say about this controversial pageant. Ella: I have won the Little Miss Farmington pageant twelve years in a roll and Im only 8 years old. This is an outrage. My Daddy said those judges were blind!!!!!!! (Pig strutin across stage and Jodie) ALI: As you can see this controversy is clearly not resolved. The parents of Miss Ella Mask are calling for a recount of the votes. The community is up in arms and no resolution is in sight. MIA: Ella you are beautiful. So what if you did not win a beauty contest. You are special because God made you that way. The Bible says: Fearful and wonderfully made are you. I pray that God will give you his eyes so you can see how He measures true beauty. Open the eyes of my heart.

Yard Sale scene. John: Well toddlers and tiaras hadnt got nuttin on us?

John: We just heard on the scanner. The sheriff Rineheart is headed over to Sister Maybells yard sale. Theres a fight about to break out. We take you now live to sister Maybells place. (Brice and Ella fighting over singing fish. $5. Two go for fish at the same moment. Yard sale person comes over and says) Kelsey: As you can see there is quite a commotion going on here at Mrs. Maybells yard sale. From our last report, Sherriff Rhineheart is on his way. Lets see if we can hear what is going on. Mrs. Shelly: Is this not the finest five dollar fish you have ever seen. Listen to this. (Fish sings) Brice: Man look at this fish. Wouldnt that look good in my man cave. Ella: Man cave. Wheres the man? Brice: I caught that fish first. Ella: Well Im reeling him in. Mrs. Maybell Ill give you ten dollars for that fish? Mrs. Shelly: Now Now kids. What seems to be the problem? Brice: I need this singin bass for my man cave? Ella: Youre a caveman alright. Plus I saw him first. Abby: Well I declare. Are yall not in Mrs. Anns Sunday class with me every Sunday morning. I seem to recall a memory verse on this very subject. Ella: Huhh. Well sort of Abby: Well let me refresh your memory. In Hebrews 13 verse 16. It says. Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God. Brice: But I dont wanna throw him back in pond just yet. Abby: Well the Bible is clear on this. We are to love God first and our neighbor second. Ella: What if our neighbor is hard to love? Abby: Ella do you remember what the Bible says in John Chapter 15 verse 13. Greater love has no one than this: to lay down his life for his friends I know you and Brice are friends. Is a singin fish really worth that? Brice: I guess youre right, I dont want that silly fish. You take it. Ella: No you take it. Brice: Hey lets forget this fish and go to the Exxon and get an RC cola and moon pie.

Ella: Sounds good to me friend. Lets go. Gracie: Hey Mrs. Maybell, would you take a quarter for this fish.

What beauty advice do you have for our audience? Cammeron: Yes John, Im here on location at Mrs. Shellys beauty shop and nail salon. This is Farmingtons premiere location for complete makeovers that will leave you looking GORGEOUS. Lets go in and see what is going on. Now were not ones to go around spreading rumors. Now really were just not the gossipin kind Youll never see on of us repeating gossip So youd better be sure and listen close the first time. Sister Maybell sure has lots of yard sales. If you need a Billy bass she has one, Or clothes no fashionista would be caught dead in. Its a redneck Walmart if Ive ever seen one. Now were not ones to go around spreading rumors. Now really were just not the gossipin kind Youll never see on of us repeating gossip So youd better be sure and listen close the first time
Cammeron: Hey ladies. Im here to do a report on what is happening in fashion in the great city of Farmington. Ali: Ill tell you whats going on in fashion. Did you see that fancy dress the pastors wife Mrs. Melinda had on Sunday. She acted as if it was straight off Rodeo Drive or Project Runway or something. Cammeron: More like Rodeo drive. Looked like last years fashion from Mrs. Maybels yard sale to me. Moriah : And what about that loud tie her husband Bro Tim had on? She must got a two for one special at Mrs. Maybells yard sale. Ali: Mrs. Maybell is having a yard sale this weekend too. Cammeron: Why Mrs. Maybell has a yard sale every weekend .Its like redneck Walmart over there.

Jodie: Hey there nothing wrong getting a bargain and having a yard sale. You guys need think about what you are saying. How would you feel if people talked about you that way. It wrong to Gossip about people. Cammeron: We didnt mean any harm. You know the old saying about sticks and stones. Jodie: But words really can hurt people. The Bible teaches against gossip. If you want to know what is in someones heart, listen to what they say. Your words reveal what is in your heart. Gossippy petty snid comments reveal a jealous heart, while generous encouraging words reveal a kind and giving heart. Give yourself a little heart check. What do your words reveal about the state of your heart? Marlee: And we learned a verse in Sunday school from Proverbs 21: verse 23 : He who guards his mouth and his tongue keeps himself from troubles.

Hunter: Yes I saw that pig. He was beggin for money and playing some old out of date guitar. Looked like it might have came from a yard sale or something. I saw that famous Pig last year at the fair. He won first place. Too bad. He is all scroney and pitiful. I bet theres not enough bacon left on him for a decent BLT. Adriana: Does he not know how much farmer Blake wants him back. He loves that pig unconditionally. Hunter: I tried to tell him. Makes me think of the Prodigal son in the Bible. Im sure glad my Father in heaven loves me despite my pitiful condition. Just like Farmer Blake loves Arnold, God will take us back no matter how far away we stray. Too bad Arnold is in the pits and doesnt understand that kind of love. Adriana: Well there you have it folks. We have a pig down on his luck, no friends, and in the pits. Looks like Arnold needs to cut his loses and head home.

Its the pits Its the pits Lanie: When youre down in the mud and ya need a little love its the pits When youre feeling down with no friends around. Its the pits.

I wanna go back home to Farmer Blake and all my real friends. I wonder if he would forgive me for running off and let me come home. Music starts: ______________John 10 verse 28 says: I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand. Lea: Oh God you are my God And I will ever praise you Oh God you are my God And I will ever praise you I will seek you in the morning And I will learn to walk your ways And step by step youll lead me And I will follow you all of my days.

Lanie: Yes John, we are live at Farmer Blakes farm. As you can see every one is in a joyful mood. Farmer Blake can you tell us what has happened. Blake: Arnold has found his way home. He may be a little thinner and tired but I could not be happier. Lanie: Arnold what have you been doing since you left the farm. Arnold: I took my state fair winnings and decided to live it up. I was hanging out in all the hot spots around town.. I was so popular. Everyone wanted to be me or to hang out with me. I felt like I was living the lifestyles of the rich and famous. Lanie: Why did you ever want to come back if it was so great? Arnold: Well when my piggy bank went dry, my friends suddenly had better things to do. Blake: Oh Arnold, Im so glad youre home. I was so worried about you. Arnold: I realized how good I really had it on the farm with Farmer Blake. I am so thankful he is willing to take me back even after all the bad Ive done in my little piggy life. My nieces and nephews shared a special verse with me from the Bible. Would you like to hear it straight pigglets mouth? Lanie: Our audience would love to. LITTLE KIDS JOHN 3:16 John: Well, there you have it folks. All is well back at Farmer Blakes. Remember, the Farmington Baptist Childrens Choir, WLOV, is hosting their summer concert. Join them in worship, and just like Arnold, you, too can learn about Gods forgiving mercy and restoration. ________________ Thats right, He is our Wonderful Savior. Through him we will have eternal life. Listen to this verse from John 3: 16 Little kids say it in unison. For God so loved the world that he gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have ever lasting life.

Step by Step Parker: How many of Farmer Blakes cows horses and other critters have more food than I do. Im gonna go back to the farm and see if I can just eat scraps or something. Blake: Arnold, Im so glad to see you. Ive missed you so much. Im so glad you have came back. Im gonna throw you a party and fatten you back up.

I will give you all my worship:
