Bring humor, honesty, and a dose of relatable ministry chaos to your next planning session or women’s event with The Skit Series Meeting That Fell Apart. This 800-word comedic skit captures the real-life dynamics of a ministry team trying—and hilariously failing—to plan a skit series together.

Featuring characters who represent every meeting you’ve ever been in—the idea queen, the note-loser, the overachiever, the youth-group-minded brainstormer, and the quiet peacemaker—this skit shines a light on the joys and frustrations of collaboration. As ideas clash, notes go missing, and someone inevitably suggests a five-part dramatic retelling of the “crazy cup lady” story, everything collapses into laughter.

But beneath the comedy is a heartfelt reminder: ministry isn’t about competing ideas—it’s about serving with unity, humility, and love. The skit ends with the team rediscovering their shared purpose and choosing joy over pressure.
