Statler and waldorf and church ministry? Doesn't sound like a normal combination... are you using replica puppets of the two? although I don't have any scripts you could always have the two of them hurling insults at eachother and getting upset at eachother and then learning to forgive eachother afterwords. I think there is actually a skit like this as a bonus feature on muppet party cruise though with out a religious message.

okay I was thinking about your question, and at four in the morning the muse hit me and I woke up and wrote this script:

Statler and waldorf at the wedding in Canna

(statler and waldorf enter. Music should be playing in the background)

Statler: So Waldorf, what did you think of the wedding ceremony?

Waldorf: Well Satler, it was boring, obvious, a little too mushy...

S: It was short.

W: I liked that part.

(both laugh)

S: So, I heard they ran out of wine for the wedding party.

W: (not paying attention) What is with this loud music the kids listen to at these weddings, and that dancing, why back in my day...

S: Well, obviously you haven't run out of whine. (speaking up)Did you hear what I said about the wine?

W: Hear what you said? At my age I'm lucky I can hear What I said.

(both laugh)

S: I said that they ran out of wine.

W: Really? What did they do about it?

S: They took the problem to Mary's son Jesus.

W: You mean that long haired weirdo.

S: Waldorf, it's biblical times, they're all long haired weirdos.

W: true

(both laugh)

S: Anyhow Jesus asked the servants to bring him some jugs of water, which is kinda of scary.

W: Why is that?

S: You know what they say... "When you visit Canna, Don't drink the water".

(botth laugh)

W: So what did he do with the water jugs?

S: Well, Jesus told the servants to to take some to the guy who put on the wedding party. The guy tried it and I guess the water turned to wine.

W: Hey I just tried some of that wine a minute ago. It was better than the stuff they started the wedding with.

S: That's not hard... the first stuff tasted like watered down grape juice.

(both laugh)

S: So do you think it's true what they say about Jesus?

W: What, that he leaves doors open all the time because he was born in a barn?

(both laugh)

S: No, that he's the Son of God.

W: Hmm, could be. So Statler, do you want to go heckle a pharisee?

S: Sounds like fun. (both exit)
