Three Generations, One Shepherd — Pastor Appreciation Skit for Church (15 min)

A grandmother, a forty-year-old daughter, and a sixteen-year-old granddaughter sort through a box of old church photo albums on a living-room rug. Each generation argues about which moment was "the one" — the funeral he preached for grandfather, the wedding he officiated for the daughter, or the youth retreat that changed the granddaughter. The argument turns into a tribute. They realize the shepherd is the thread. Final beat: a fourth voice — a six-year-old child cast member — interrupts to ask, "Will Pastor be there for my baptism too?" The grandmother answers, "He'll be there. That's who he is."

Theme — A long pastorate is the rare gift of one shepherd watching three generations grow up.
