Paula, Lynn and J.C. have gathered for their regular "girl talk" at the local coffee shop.  During conversation, Paula hands Lynn and J.C. each a small box.  Inside is an engraved necklace commemorating the day the women first met 5 years ago, which was filled with huge misunderstandings and imaginations gone wild. It seems the women shared many similar interests, so they kept running into each other in various places.  However, when the three women turn up at the same book store, at the same time, reading the same magazine, it begins to mess with their minds. Paula ends up thinking she is being stalked and Lynn thinks J.C. is there to kidnap her and take her back to the "mother ship." But what started out as a crazy day 5 years ago, has turned into years of lasting friendship. 

For anyone who has close friendships or those who desire them, this humorous skit reminds us how much women need and appreciate each other.

Sharon feels God has called her to step out of her 'comfort zones" so she appears at an agency ready to be assigned some volunteer work.  The only problem is, any time various volunteer opportunities are mentioned, Sharon often screams in fear and/or starts stressing out in a huge way.  Kathy, the supervisor, is patient at first but eventually becomes frustrated with Sharon, and shouts out "If you want to walk on water, you've got to get out of the boat!"  Finally, Sharon admits the root of her fear is failure and is afraid she'll "drown"  (metaphorically speaking).  In the end, Kathy helps Sharon see that if God is calling you out of the water, He'll never let you sink--as long as you keep your eyes on Him.

Set at the bus stop, several pairs of high heel shoes come and go.  The shoes symbolize various types of women in their individual walks of life.  By listening to their tales at the bus stop, we get a glimpse of the kind of lives each woman (shoe) leads. Our cast of characters include:

Gracie, an average high heel who likes to volunteer at church, even though it isn't Sunday. 

Charlotte, a business shoe and workaholic, who is always on the go.

Kay, the "plain jane" high heel who volunteers at the soup kitchen because she likes to help people.

Marla, the teenager who disguised herself as a sneaker to "sneak" out of the house but then reveals her true identity as a hip, young high heel, dressed to go to a party.

Dee, a single sexy "slingback" in search of the perfect man shoe.

Tiffany, the rich and fancy high heel who shops and lays by the pool all day sipping shoe polish.

Jan, the sophisticated cobbler who goes back to the shoe hospital after hours in order to comfort a sick child (a pair of pink Crocs).

Cora, the elder who has traded in her high heels for a pair of orthopedic shoes.

Through the wisdom of Cora, who can think straight now that she's "actually getting some blood flow to her brain" we learn some of the lessons that life has taught her.  For instance, "Life doesn't always turn out like you planned, so you've got to walk the road you've been given." And, "You can either get out there and make a difference in this world or you can sit at home in your closet, waiting for the world to come to you.  Either way, you've got to decide: 'Where will my high heels take me?' The choice is up to you."

Great for any kinds of women's ministries, this skit reminds us that our choices are up to us, and that life is what we make it.

Four women who are each facing a specific challenge in their life, have mysteriously been called to a conference room by Connie, who some know only as "the crazy cup lady." The women all attend the same church but do not know each other, and none of them know why they have been told to meet in the room. It doesn't help that when Connie appears she performs some strange "ritual" with her coffee mug, talking to it and patting it.  The women begin to think Connie is nuts, but when she gives each woman her own cup and instructs them to begin filling it up, they decide to play along. In the end, the women realize Connie is not as crazy as she appears to be: the "cup" is only a symbol of each woman's soul and spirit and represents the idea that if we trust God, He will fill our "cups" until they overflow with His blessings.

Four women at various stages of life come together at Stepping Stones, a local women's ministry.  At first their reasons for attending appear somewhat "superficial" but underneath each woman there is a desperate need to "connect." Mary, an "empty-nester" who can't quit sobbing uncontrollably, is actually seeking friendship and just someone to "chat" with; Bess, a middle-aged woman with two teen boys who "need a lot of prayer", claims to only be there for the refreshments since her boys "eat her out of house and home"; Sarah, who thinks a class titled "Sweeter than Chocolate" is about eating desserts (when in actuality it is a study in Psalms), just needs a break because she is a young mom with 3 toddlers under the age of 4; and Ruth who is 83 and keeps falling asleep, thinks she's there to play Bingo.  Though these women are at different ages, have different backgrounds and lifestyles, and have come to Stepping Stones for various reasons, one thing remains the same for each of them: they each have a deep desire for fellowship and community with other Godly women, which by the end of the skit they are convinced they will find.
