Narrator Roy: It was a wonderfully radiant Christmas morning, and the students were excited as they decorated their classroom for a Christmas party.

Upper Grade (G4 Haon, Emma, Ellie):  “C’mon~ party will start in a minute! Let’s fill this room with Christmas spirit~”

Narrator Roy:  Everyone was excited about Christmas.  In the spirit of Christmas, one asked,  

Upper Grade (G4 Julie, Ashley):  “Isn’t it nice to have friends to share Christmas with?” 

Narrator Roy:  In the spirit of Christmas, all said, 

Upper Grade (G4 All):  “Yeah, sure is”

Upper Grade (G4 Ellie): “Oh, it is so lovely to host a party for a cute, little, energetic Grade 1.”  

Upper Grade (G4 Taeyun):  “I wonder where they are,  It’s about time they arrived” 

Narrator Roy: And they came, singing a happy BIS Song, 

We here at BIS, Let’s march into the world and share God’s love,

We open all our hearts,

To our divine mission,

Let God’s great providence 

Be revealed in us.

G1 ALL:  “Hello~ Merry Christmas~”

Upper grade:  “Hello, family and friends! Welcome to our BIS Grade 1 Christmas party”

G1 Red: “Thanks for inviting us Grade 4,

G1 Yellow: “As a present, we prepared a little dance for you.”

Upper Grade:  Oh~ Goodie! Can’t wait to see!

G1 Blue:  Are you ready for grade 1?

G1 ALL:  Yeah, Yeah, Let’s Go~!

Upper-Grade All:  “Wow! That was amazing!”
 

G1 ALL:  Thank you~ (take a bow)

Upper-Grade G4 Haon:  “Here, have a seat right here.”

Narrator Roy:  Cute little grade 1s took their dainty steps . . .  to take a seat in the center of the room.

Upper Grade G4 Emma:  “We were just finishing up the decoration” 

Narrator Roy:  G.1 set the decorations on the table, and placed the baby Jesus in the center.

G1 ALL:  “What’s that?”  

Upper-Grade G4 Haon, Emma: Baby Jesus~

Narrator Roy:  At that moment, one student let out a big sigh.

G1 Jayden:  (sigh)“You know~, It looks good and all,

                                       But  I wish we had the real Jesus, 

G1 BOYS: “The real God. Not a toy Jesus.”

G1 GIRLS: “True…. I wish we had real Jesus with us, here…”

Upper-Grade G4 all:  “Well, then, let’s go this minute and,

G1 GIRLS:  “Find the real Jesus this Christmas!”

G1 BOYS:  “Yeah, Let’s do that!” 

Narrator Roy: "G1 and G4 donned their caps and warm scarves before setting out in search of Jesus. 

                        The cold wind meandered through the bare trees, causing their noses to water and their bodies to shiver."

G1 Red:  “Hey guys, let’s sing a song to warm ourselves up” 

G1 ALL:  “Yeah, yeah, that’s a good idea!”

Narrator Roy:  so, they sang.

Narrator Roy (+G4 Claire): They finally made it to the end of the tunnel, and all shouted with great joy!

G1 ALL:  Yay~ End of the tunnel~!

G1 ALL:  We made it~!

G1 Grinches Jayden, Joshua, Victor (+ G4 Taeyun, Julie):  “Ha~ End of the tunnel?  

Grinches Jayden, Joshua, Victor (+ G4 Ella, Lydia):  We will not let you out of this place!  

Grinches Jayden, Joshua, Victor (+ G4 all):  “We don’t want you to find God.”  

Narrator G4 Claire:  a dark, scary, grinch-like voice said. Grade 1 and 4 wondered.

G1 ALL:  “Why not?”

Grinces Jayden, Joshua, Victor+ G4 Grinches Ella, Julie:  “Well, because we are the enemy of God!” 

Grinches Jayden, Joshua, (G4 Taeyun, Lydia):  “We don’t want you getting closer to God!”

G1 ALL:  “ Well, we love our God!

              “Nothing can stop us!”

Grinches Jayden, Joshua:  “Let’s see about that!”

G1 ALL:  They are mean, they are really, really mean!

Grinch Upper-Grade G4 Julie:  "Ha, nonsense! Do you think we're going to stop you from searching for God with spiders and dirty socks?"

Grinches Jayden, Joshua (+ G4 Ella):  “We are the smart ones, We don’t work like that. 

Grinches ALL:  Music!  hit it~”

        Grinch Jayden (+ G4 Ella):  “Here, take this iPhone 15 pro, 

Grinch Joshua (+ G4 Julie): or this amazing Samsung foldable phone.  

Grinch Doha, Victor (+ G4 Taeyun, Lydia): The cutting-edge technology. 

Grinches All:   It is the latest kind..”

G1 ALL:  “Ooh!!! Give me, give me”

(Grinch music plays as the phone is thrown to the students.)

(After tossing the phones, the Grinch sits in front and smiles mockingly)

Grinch Jayden (G4 Julie, Ella):  “Now you can fiddle with that phone for hours and hours, like the whole~~~~~~ day,

And forget all about ever wanting to find God.”

(Grinches move to the side of the stage on the steppers. Narrator reads)

Narrator Roy:  As if enchanted, the students forgot all about their quest to find their God and instead spent hours upon hours, day after day, playing games and watching YouTube on their phones.

(when the narrator says ‘time flew and flew’ Time Dancers enter dancing, with the time.)

Narrator Roy:  Time flew and flew.  The time was dancing away from their lives.

G1 Olivia, Eugene (Crystal, Ashley):  “Oh my goodness!!!! Look at the time!!!!

Narrator Roy:  Everyone looked at their watch in great dismay, and all said,

G1 ALL (+ G4 all):  “Uh oh! 

G1 ALL (+ G4 all):  What have we done with our precious time!?!”

Narrator Roy:  They were lost, they were scared,  they didn’t know what to do...

G1 Yellow (+ Ella, Ellie, Lydia, Haon):  “Hey guys, I forgot why we are here in the first place”

G1 ALL (+ G4 red and blue):  Me too ….

G4 Angels Crystals, Siena, Emma: :  “Hello~ BIS friends.  I hear that you are in search of God, and you are lost,”

G1 ALL (+ G4 All):  “Who are you? How do you know us?”

G4 Angels Crystal, Siena: “We are the angels, God sent us to you.” 

G1 ALL (+ G4 All): “What? Angels?”

Narrator Roy:  They were so surprised.

G4 Angels Emma:  “He was pleased that you were in search of God.  God told us to help you guys, that you are lost.”

G1 ALL (+ G4 All):   “So,  where is he?”

Narrator Roy:  The students looked here and there to find where God is.

G4 Angels All:  “He is already here, he has always been with you”

G1 ALL: “What? I don’t see Him~”

Angel Crystal, Siena, Emma:  "Here, our Head Angel, Mr. Yoon, will be happy to assist you with your questions."

(Mr. Yoon's Video Play)

Head Angel-Mr. Yoon:  "Recall from the Bible, (John 16:7) Jesus proclaimed that as He departs through crucifixion and ascension to Heaven, He will send the Holy Spirit to help us."

Angel: These are the promises Jesus gave us.  (John 14:16-17)

"I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever—the Spirit of truth."

Angel: John 14:26

"The Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you."

Angel: These are the disciples' Gospels.

1 Corinthians 3:16

"Don't you know that you yourselves are God's temple and that God's Spirit dwells in your midst?"

Angel: 1 Corinthians 6:19

"Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God?"

Galatians 4:6

"Because you are his sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, the Spirit who calls out, 'Abba, Father.'"

Romans 8:9

"You, however, are not in the realm of the flesh but are in the realm of the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you."

Narrator Roy: We were never alone! 

G1 ALL (+ G4 red): God was looking after us at all times, 

Narrator Roy: God is encouraging and cheering for us as we journey through our lives!

G1 ALL (+ G4 all): We rejoice in You, God! 

Narrator Roy:  You loved us so much that You gave us Jesus Christ 

G1 ALL (+ G4 Blue): to take away our sins, 

Narrator Roy: allowing us to draw closer to You, God! 

G1 ALL (+ G4 all):  Thank You~ God~!

G1 Yellow:  Let’s sing the song of joy~! 

G1 ALL:  “Hey, Guys! We can do it! 

Narrator Roy: “Jesus has already won the battle for us on the cross!”

G1 ALL:  “The end is written.  

G1 ALL:  “The victory is ours!”

G1 ALL: “Yeah~ Yeah~ Let’s go~ Let’s do it again!”

Grinch Upper Grade:  "Hey, cuties! 

Grinch Jayden:  "Who these days still believe in God

Grinch Ryan, Joshua:  and follows His way?"

Grinches Jayden, Joshua, Ryan:  “Believe in yourself”

G1 ALL:  No, I believe in God…

Grinch Jayden:  “Fool~! You are an old timer~”

Grinch Joshua:  “Out of date”

Grinch Ryan:  “You are no fun~”

Grinch Jayden, Sohua, Ryan: “You are weak!”

Grinch Jayden, Sohua, Ryan: “What a loser!”

(students isolated. Laughed at. Made fun of)

G1 Yellow : "Stop! We must continue moving!"

G1 ALL: "We will persist!"

Upper-Grade Grinch Jinha: "Here, I will offer you a glimpse of our culture. 

Grinches All:  Let arrogance be seen as confidence."

Grinches Jayden, Joshua, Ryan: (Giggle)

Grinches Jayden, Joshua, Ryan: "Who needs humility, anyway?"

G1 ALL:  No, in the Bible, God said to humble ourselves before God.

Grinch Jayden: Yup~ humble yourself as much as you want!

Grinch Joshua, Ryan: People will think you lack confidence.

Grinches All: You are nothing! You’re a loser.

Narrator Roy:  Right then, came another culture. Another big obstacle.

Grinch Upper Grade: We will capture your heart with our artistry. There's a reason we've named this kind of people 'the idols.'

Grinches All: You won't be able to resist them.  

Grinch Upper Grade:  Worship your idol~!

Grinch Jayden:  Dress like them, 

Grinch Joshua:  think like them, 

Grinch Ryan:  speak like them, 

Grinches Jayden, Joshua, Ryan:  Act like them, 

G1 Yellow: "No, no, no, no!! Hold on a minute."

G1 Olivia, Eugene: "Guys, we were almost trapped under their spell!" 

G1 Blue:  "Let's stay clear-headed and keep moving."

G1 ALL: (shake their heads as if rousing from a nightmare) "Grinches! No Way~!"

G1 ALL:  We worship our God only!

G1 ALL:  We are the Christ-followers!

G1 Red:  Come on, guys~! Let us keep going!

G1 ALL: We are on a quest to find our God!

Grinch Upper Grade + Jayden:  Here, play the game.  You want it.

G1 ALL:  No, my mom said to do the homework first.

Grinch Jayden:  Your mom is not here right now.  

Grinches Jayden, Joshua, Ryan:  She will never find out~

G1 ALL:  No, God said to obey your parents…

G1 ALL:  We want to please our God! 

G1 Line 1:  Teach me your way, O Lord,
G1 Line 2:  that I may walk in your truth; 

G1 Line 3:  Unite my heart to fear your name. (Psalm 86:11)

Grinch Upper Grade:  Yup~ You are a weakling and a fanatic!

Grinch Jayden, Joshua, Ryan:  Mama’s baby~ Bo hoo hooo~!

G1 Yellow:  Guys, the quest is harder than we thought….

G1 Red and Blue:  But we have to get going…

G1 ALL:  Yes… let’s go…

We can’t go over it, (We can’t go over it)

We can’t go under it, (We can’t go under it)

Oh no, we’ve got to go through it, (Oh no, we’ve got to go through it)

Grinch Jayden + Upper grade:  C'mon~ Save the trouble~!

Grinch Joshua, Ryan + Upper Grade: Here, if you lie just once, 

Grinch Jayden, Joshua, Ryan: We will give you all this treasure!

Grinch Jayden + Upper Grade:  Here. if you watch this just once, 

(Show something to the students on the phone)

(Students catch a glimpse of the phone)

G1 All:  Ooh la la~~

Grinch Jayden, Joshua, Ryan:  We will give you all the pleasure!

Grinch Uppergrade song:

Wouldn’t you love to feel the pleasure? 

Wouldn’t you love to have it all~ 

Are you sure now? 

*You think you really want to

G1 ALL:  Wow!~~ (many swoon over the gift)

Grinch Jayden (+ G4 Julie, Lydia): "Live as you please!"

Grinch Joshua (+ G4 Ella, Taeyun ): "Your life is yours!"

Grinch Victor, Zion (+ G4 Grincehs): "Do as you wish!"

G1 ALL: “Yeah….. What’s wrong with living as we want?”

(Angels come again…but the students hideaway)

Angel G4 Emma: "BIS students,

Angel G4 Siena, Crystal :  "You, who are God's beloved children.

Angel G4 Emma:  "You, whom God loves so deeply that He gave His only Son, Jesus Christ, for you.

Angel G4 Siena, Crystal :  "BIS students, you are the light and salt of this world."

G1 Red: "No, Light, go away!"

G1 Yellow: “I am broken…. I’ve failed….

G1 Blue, Red:  “I am no good for God…Go away…” (starts to sob) 

Narrator Roy:  “Thank you, Jesus! For coming to us to bear the cross for our sins!” 

G1 Boys: “We were already forgiven,” 

G1 Girls:  “Your love was the same, 

               Even when we failed..”

G1 ALL:  “Thank you, Jesus! 

                You are our LIVING HOPE!”

Narrator Roy:  We might fall, but we will get up again!
