Jubileee on the Ridge- Word Explosion

For our 4th or 5th or perhaps even 6th year (it all blurs together) we are back in Paradise, CA performing and presenting at the Jubilee on the Ridge Church. Basically it is a Christian program we do here.

While the parents are attending a conference or mini-crusade style program upstairs we present a fun program down stairs with illusions, juggling, all the stunts we are know for and games. We mix Christian messages with the whole thing. One major message we push is "Children, Obey your parents in the Lord, for this is good." We give lots of visual illustration for the programs so the kids can have better recall of the scripture and messages we present.

Today I introduced portions of Romans 1. If you haven't read it you should. It is a real eye opener.

The great thing about these style programs beyond the honor of serving God, is that the programs are high volume in material presented. In other words we do a lot of stuff. As a result we have to tax our mind's creativity to come up with new ways to present old things as well as to just come up with new things ( I am referring to the tricks and routines...not the message...though we may come up with new ways to present a message...or the Holy Spirit may just gift us with revelations to impart to the kids. No that doesn't mean it is anything "new" apart for the bible. We are strict constructionists and believe the "Word" is unchanging. If more people did that instead of bending the Gospel to fit their agenda the world would be a beautiful place.) We also do music, action songs, and fun games like limbo and extreme Simon Says.

Anywho! Sundays are always small at Word Explosion because it is mostly just the local congregation. But starting tonight the numbers will increase.

As I mentioned these type of programs due to their high content volume gives us a chance to work on new material. So tonight we will work on our new presentations for the introduction as Miles as Indiana Miles with his tiny bike and the large rolling globe chasing him (Ala the first Indiana Jones movie). The parody should be hilarious...we will see.

More to come...
