THE WISE STILL SEEK HIM
Setting: A group of young astronomers are on a field trip with Louis Giglio, on
the big screen we have the night sky (of NZ) and they have telescopes and
binoculars.
Scene1
Sam: (with telescope) Wow Wow, Hey guys over here, just look at the Milky
Way is that clear or what?
Tal: There’s the southern cross!
Matt: Orions up here just look you can see the belt it’s so clear
Tal: I think that’s a planet, is it Mars do you think? See up here (boys gather
around)
Sam: Could be, don’t they say Mars has a red glow about it?
Matt: Could be a satellite, but I don’t think it’s moving
Sam: Where’s Louis he’ll know, there he is..
All: Hey Louis over here we need some help
Louis: Hey guys, hows the research coming along for your speech?
T: Yeah its great being out here and all that but we’re not quite sure what to
make of all these stars
Matt: There’s so many of them where do we start?
Loius: This is nothing to what’s really out there you know! In fact one galaxy
alone can have from 200 billion to one trillion stars – you’ve heard of the
Hubble Telescope??
Sam: Oh yeah we’re looking at it in Science – that’s why we’re doing this speech
Tal: Isn’t it a telescope?
Sam: Of course it is, it circles the earth every 97minutes and send backs the
images to earth, galaxies and nebula and all that stuff
Matt: He’s brainy you know!
Louis: I’ll show you the new images I just got from the Hubble web site
See that’s – a Globular cluster, look at this one spiral galaxy,
Matt: wow look at that, looks like one of them Mexican hats
Loius” Yeah the sombrero, here’s the whirlpool, that’s ,the starburst galaxy and
of course Andromeda, can you see this one looks like a cartwheel? you’ll like the
next one
Matt: Far out
Talitha: Is that a cross at the centre of the galaxy?
Louis: Petty cool isn’t it? That’s a whirlpool galaxy - spiral in nature
Sam: Woe this definitely beats Optiminds! I never imagined the universe was so
big
Matt: Blows your mind doesn’t it!
Tal: How could God do all this?
Matt: It’s just indescribable, amazing
Sam: That Galaxy with the cross in it, is incredible, isn’t there something written
in The Bible, something like ‘the Heavens…
Tal: It says ‘The heavens declare the glory of God’ every where you look he’s
put reminders for us!!
Matt: That’s some God, bigger than I Imagined!
1. GOD OF WONDERS – SONG (Eve ??choreography and Band)
Tal: The more you think about it the more you realise how small we really are!
Matt: Yeah totally
Sam: But not insignificant!
Louis : (clicking fingers) Okay guys wakey wakey, I don’t want you to start
dreaming now you three have got a speech to give at school, and astronomy
isn’t the easiest subject , so pay attention I want you to get used to searching
the sky for unusual stars for instance just take a look at this one. (all look at
same bright star)
Louis : Now see the well defined edge and the brightness (speech tales off and
light gets much bigger until fills screen then Middle eastern music starts to play)
Scene 2.
(Middle eastern music plays, Light gets smaller and settles on night sky with a
bright star shining’ There’s a table with large Bible open and a person is pouring
over it and talking in an animated way, 1 person is quite excited looking out at
the star. Music begins to fade.
Melchoir: I’m telling you Casper, this has to be the one, look it’s brighter than
the rest
Casper: Melchior when are you going to stop dreaming,
Melchoir: Casper, If you could only get your head out of the Holy book and just
look you’d see
Casper: Listen Melchior, I work on facts not dreams – The Holy book, the word
of God will guide us, we can’t just go off every time we see a twinkling star.
2. Servant Girl: (leading little children) TWINKLE TWINKLE LITTLE STAR
SGirl 1: Bravo Bravo (clapping) what a good job, you know, we must never
forget, It’ s up to our tribe to study the stars, generation to generation.
S girl 2: One day we’re going to see THE star and we’ll have to pack up and
follow it.
Child: Where will we go?
SG1: Wherever it leads we will follow
SG2: It will lead us to the Messiah, the liberator the one sent by our Great God
to rescue us. So we need to be ready
Dan VL: Come on boys, we’ve might have a big adventure ahead,
Servant boy: What do you mean?
Dan VL: Sh Don’t tell anyone but I think they’ve seen the star. So come on guys
this work out could be your last at camp. Put your heart into it. We have a Great
God to serve.
3. GREAT GOD ACTION SONG - BOYS WITH SWORDS practising their discipline!
(Lewis) led by Daniel VL and Dan Kibby ??
Dan L: Keep your eyes fixed on the Heavens,
Child: Will it be as bright as that star? (pointing)
SG1: Oh that’s bright havn’t seen one like that before
SG2: Hey Casper have you seen that star, it’s really bright
Casper: Oh no not another one ! Melchoir has been going on and on about it –
and I’m stuck on this passage in the Holy Scriptures. I just can’t make it out ‘ See
I am doing a new thing, making a way in the desert’ (scratching head) ‘ See I am
doing a new thing, making a way in the desert’
Melchior: Sounds like a message to me
SG2: Me too – a message and a bright star
Casper: What are you thinking?? Oh where’s Samuel when you need him?
Melchoir: Look - there he is
Casper: About time too – Samuel where’ve you been, we need you! (Sam arrives
as if in a dream not sure where he is)
Sam: Well (looking around confused) I was sort of looking at that star…
Casper: Not another one! Forget about that, Samuel I need your help with the
scriptures (Casper looks Up eyes popping out) what happened to you? What’ve
you got on? Man (touching his clothes) You forget to get dressed this
morning??
Sam: Umm (looking around) where’s T? Matt?? He around??? Louis??? You
know the guy with the telescope? No?? Sooooo ummm where exactly am I??
And what’s with The Samuel?
Casper: U mean Melchoir he’s had that telescope stuck to his head the last few
nights. You okay?? Too much star gazing I reckon! Go and get dressed get a
drink and join me and Melchoir in 5. We three need to put our heads together
might have some big decisions to make!!!
Sam: Ok where, where do I ….Oh never mind theres T. Hey T wher’ve u been?
Tal: Talitha Sir, Talitha (guarding her eyes as if he wasn’t dressed properly) and
here’s your cloak and a drink
Sam: Ok thanks umm T it’s me, Sam, stop messing me around where’s Matt
Tal: It’s Talitha Sir and Matthew he is tending the camels
Sam: Ok Ok so you want me to go along with your little game – takes a sip OO
yuk what is this?
Tal: Camel milk Sir
Sam: Camel Milk u gotta b joking (spitting it out) ooh yuk
Casper: Samuel stop wasting time Melchoir and I need your wisdom
Melchoir: I’m convinced – this star is the one, the one we must follow, the one
that will Lead us to Him.
Casper: And here in the Holy Scriptures in Isaiah 9:6 it says
For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his
shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting
Father, Prince of Peace’. What do you think of that Samuel? Must we follow
The star? Is it our time? Will we find the Messiah? Let us join together as we
seek our God in prayer
Sam: We don’t really need to (being flippant), I’ve read all about it, The
wisemen follow the star and they find the Messiah – baby Jesus end of story.
Well, well not quite end of story there’s a lot more after that.
Melchoir: Samuel you are such a wise man – very wise how you know so much
beats me.
Casper: Are we in agreement then, we travel in the caravan and we leave at
dark. Samuel you speak to Talitha she’ll organise the women and children, I’ll
speak to Matthew to saddle up the camels and Melchoir you organise the men
to pack up the tents. We leave at Sundown
Scene 3
( 3 gymnists r exercising on the beam doing their daily work out. (Lucy/? /?)

Lucy: Just see what I can do
G2. Come on Eve it’s not that hard
Eve: I know I know it just that I had that fall and I don’t want to get hurt again
G1 Whats the point of exercising on the beam when you don’t do anything
G2. Have you heard, we have to pack up today the Wise men have seen the
star!
G1. You mean the one that will lead us to the Messiah?
G2. That’s what they are saying, the star and scriptures line up - exciting isn’t it
G1. Yeah I just love adventure wonder what the great Messiah will be like?
G3. I don’t know why we have to go ? I like it here, what If they’ve made a
mistake?
G1G2 Oh come on Eve you can’t do gymnastics clinging to a beam, or live life
without risk
G2. That’s not a life at all.

"Reach"
When the world, leaves you feeling blue
You can count on me, I will be there for you
When it seems, all your hopes and dreams
Are a million miles away, I will re-assure you
We've got to all stick together
Good friends, there for each other
Never ever forget that
I've got you and you've got me, so
Reach for the stars
Climb every mountain higher
Reach for the stars
Follow your hearts desire
Reach for the stars
And when that rainbow's shining over you
That's when your dreams will all come true
There's a place waiting just for you
Is a special place where your dreams all come true
Fly away, swim the ocean blue
Drive that open road, leave the past behind you
Don't stop gotta keep moving
Your hopes have gotta keep building
Never ever forget that
I've got you and you've got me, so
Reach for the stars
Climb every mountain higher
Reach for the stars
Follow your hearts desire
Reach for the stars
And when that rainbow's shining over you
That's when your dreams will all come true
Don't believe in all that you've been told
The sky's the limit you can reach your goal
No-one knows just what the future holds
There ain't nothing you can't be
There's a whole world at your feet
I said reach
Climb every mountain (reach)
Reach for the moon (reach)
Follow that rainbow
And your dreams will all come true
Reach for the stars
Climb every mountain higher
Reach for the stars
Follow your hearts desire
Reach for the stars
And when that rainbow's shining over you
That's when your dreams will all come true
Reach for the stars
Climb every mountain higher
Reach for the stars
Follow your hearts desire
Reach for the stars
And when that rainbow's shining over you
That's when your dreams will all come true
Reach for the stars
Climb every mountain higher [fade to finish]

The Desert Song Lyrics
Verse 1:
This is my prayer in the desert
And all that's within me feels dry
This is my prayer in the hunger in me
My God is a God who provides
Verse 2:
And this is my prayer in the fire
In weakness or trial or pain
There is a faith proved
Of more worth than gold
So refine me Lord through the flames
Chorus:
And I will bring praise
I will bring praise
No weapon forged against me shall remain
I will rejoice
I will declare
God is my victory and He is here
Verse 3:
And this is my prayer in the battle
And triumph is still on it's way
I am a conqueror and co-heir with Christ
So firm on His promise I'll stand
Bridge:
All of my life
In every season
You are still God
I have a reason to sing
I have a reason to worship
Verse 4:
This is my prayer in the harvest
When favor and providence flow
I know I'm filled to be empited again
The seed I've recieved I will sow
