Outrageous Puppeterians Team

Supported By:  Worship & Music Committee

Its Mission:  To serve God in a creative and fun way through our puppet ministries. To come together as a team to worship and praise and share our message with others in an exciting and inspirational way - through puppets, sign language and stick ministry.

Who May Want To Join:  Any youth who are in Grade 6 and above. Also any adults who would like to help in team trips or in developing puppets or props.

Activities:  The puppet team is starting off Year 2006 with some very exciting events. First we are going to be participating in worship and the Sunday School kick-off on September 10th.  Also look for us in worship again in October!  We are looking forward to sharing many of the new ideas we received from IFEST this year. We again had a great week at IFEST where we had a large group of kids participating in classes and learning new ways to praise God creatively with song, scripture and more! We also came back with a new selection of puppets which we know will really improve our ability to perform some new material, maybe even some "blacklight"! The youth involved in our team have worked very hard this year improving their puppetry skills and are very excited to share with their congregation their unique talents and to share their love of God and this ministry with everyone.

Individual Ministry Opportunities:  Ministry to the congregation in worship services; ministry to each other, kids and adults, in team activities.

Meetings & Time Commitments:  We meet every Tuesday night from 7-9 p.m.  In the fall when we train new puppeteers, the newest members will meet from 6-7 p.m. and later join the group from 7-9 p.m.  When we are preparing for Regionals in spring or IFest in summer, additional practices are added.  We are away for a short weekend - usually the first weekend in March for Regionals and IFest is a week or a long weekend in the summer - usually July.
