Characters: Three narrators N1: My mom had a baby? N2: What do you mean? I thought you all just had a baby. N1: She had another one. This one is a boy! N2: What did she name it? N1: Moses! N2: Moses Mullins, Moses Mullins, Moses Mullins Moses N1: Would you stop that! N3: Hey! That reminds me of the baby Moses in the Bible. N2: The WHAT? N3: The Bible Gods Word. N2: Well, what about it? N3: There was a family who had a baby and they named it..

N2: Moses Mullins, Moses Mullins, Moses Mullins, Moses. N1: Cut that out! He is cute, but he sure cries a lot. He wakes me up every night. N3: Baby Moses mother was a Levite woman and her parents were also Levites. N2: Soooo this is Moses Levite, Moses Levite, Moses Levite, Moses N1: STOP! You sound like a broken DVD player. N3: Listen to this! When Moses was a baby his mother hid him for three months. N2: What for? Did he look like Ninja Turtle? N3: Baby Moses was a fine child. She had to hide him from the King to keep him safe. He wanted to kill all the baby boys. N1: I bet that was tough. My baby brother screams his head off every time we go to eat. It makes my mashed potatoes stick in my throat. The king would sure hear him. N2: Right! N3: Moses mother realized that she could not hide him any longer. She put him in a basket and set him out in the Nile River. Moses big sister stood and watched to see what would happen. N1: Was he in something like Noahs ark? N2: I bet it was probably one of those paddle boats. N3: Along came Pharaohs daughter to wash in the river. N2: Yuck! I do not even like to take a bath much less using dirty old creek water. N1: What did she see among the weeds out there? N3: There among the reeds sat Baby Moses in the basket just as quiet as can be. N2. I can just imagine! N3: Pharaohs daughter felt so sorry for Baby Moses when she opened the basket and he gave out a wail.

N1: Just like my baby brother. I guess he was scared. N2. Are you crazy! He was hot in there. When I sit in the car waiting for my parents after church is over they talk forever I get hot as an oven. N3: Moses big sister ran over to Pharaohs daughter and asked her if she could get a Hebrew nurse for the baby. N1: Did she find one? N2: Of course she did; there are nurseries all over the place. I used to go to one when I was a toddler. It is still behind my house. Those kids sure are noisy over there. N3: Moses big sister found her mother and she offered to nurse her own baby. N1: Wow! That is cool! N3: Later Pharaohs daughter came and took him away to raise him in the big palace where the king lived. He lived there a long time until he grew up. One day when he was adult, her saw an Egyptian beating one of the Israelites. You see Moses was really an Israelite by birth. N1: What did he do? N2: He used his karate tricks on him. N3: He killed him! N1 & N2: WHAT! N3: Thats what I said. Then he hid the body in the sand, N2. This is better than National Treasure! N3: Someone else saw him do it and said, "Who made you ruler over us? Moses got scared and ran away to Midian because Pharaoh wanted to kill him. N2: What rating is this movie? N1: You mean Bible story. N3: In Midian, Moses met a priest named Reuel who had seven daughters and a huge flock of sheep. One day When Moses was sitting by a deep well, these seven daughters came to water their flock. Moses ended up rescuing the daughters from the shepherds who came along.

N1: I bet they were sure happy? N2: Well, Id like to have seen those shepherds. Were they the same ones who saw the star in the West? N21: You mean the East? N3: Moses agreed to stay with Reuel and ended up marrying one of the daughters whose name was Zipporah. N1; I like weddings. N2: They take too long especially when you see that mushy kissing stuff. N3: They had a good life and God blessed them with a son whom they called Gershom. N2. Baby Gershom, Baby Gershom, Baby Gershom, Baby.. N1: Hey cut that out.will you! N3: Gershom is a nice name that means I have become an alien in a foreign land. N2: Di you say alien? From what planet? Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Nep. N1: Wed better go before you really get any deeper in this. N3: God was really good to rescue Baby Moses. He will rescue us from harm and guide us as we read His Word and pray daily. N2: So long; see you next time. Kidz Ministry Jeanne McIntosh September 2008. All rights reserved. You may use for your ministry. Please include copyright.
