hi everybody,
my name is Krista. I am in the process of talking with our church about starting a clown ministry. just would like some input from you all on how to get one started? i am ordering the book titled The Clown Ministry Handbook. The other one is titled Everything New & Who's Who in Clown Ministry. Both of these books are written by Janet Lutherland. If you can make any other suggestions it would be helpful and appreciated.
thanks

check out www.clowing4christ.com. If you can get their mag "The Cross and the Clown". Usually has a bio on one or couple, several skit or ministry ideas and resources. I enjoy mine. They also do mini conferences all across the country and then there is the TNT event.

Where are you located? the National Creative Ministry Festival is being held at Ridgecrest in NC in Nov. this year. It a great weekend long festival.

I started by going to the state creative ministry festival and taking clowning classes. I was lucky in that my church is very willing to let me try new ideas. This year and last they paid my expenses and my jr joey to go.
