Contributions Lenten Skit: A New Commandment, "Lenten Losers" or Burger to Bust" This is a script for a Maundy Thursday skit.It is set after lunch during a middle school recess with three middle school students and Jesus as the characters. Lent, Skit, Youth Where's Noah? We are doing "Where's Noah?" for our Lenten services this year. "Where's Noah?" is a lenten program of services and activities by Arley K.
