CREATIVE MINISTRIES
"A
cheerful look brings joy to the
heart, and good news gives
health to the bones." Proverbs
15:30"
.jpg) Let's
get creative!
One of the first things God did
in relationship to humanity was
create - and look at how
creative God's creating was (and
is). You are created to create,
too. Within you is the ability
to be creative.
The Creative Ministries at FUMC
has lots of ways you can get
those creative juices flowing
for the glory of God. To learn
more about any of these
ministries or to schedule a
performance contact John Coen at
740-653-3320 ext 103.
Clowns
Clowning reaches out with the
Gospel in ways and places that
other methods can't. Clowns let
others know they are loved and
that they make a difference.
Clowning is a fun way to serve
others. Persons sixteen years or
older are encouraged to find the
clown inside of them. Join the
fun!!! They participate in
parades, perform programs for
children and adults at churches,
festivals, etc.
Puppets
We're
not talking sock puppets.
Virtuous Reality Puppets is a
blacklight theater team that
shares the Good News through
puppetry and blacklight
techniques. They perform at
churches, festivals and
conferences. Persons who are 10
or older may participate.
Magic Ministry
Our newest ministry shares
Christian messages through the
art of illusion. If you’ve ever
wanted to be a magician or even
an assistant, come join us! Age
15 or older (younger by special
arrangement).
Video
The
video ministry provides
instructional/educational videos
about our church for visitors
and for television commercials.
If you have skills in
videotaping or editing, or would
like to learn, please let us
know. We are in need of
volunteers.
Visual Arts
If you
have artistic skills or a good
eye for decorating, there are
many ways you can get involved
at the church. Set designs,
painting, room decor/design,
bulletin board displays,
costuming, banners, stoles and
more!!! A very flexible ministry
allows you the freedom to be as
involved as you would like.
Creative Resources
The Creative Ministry Teams at
First United Methodist Church
have produced instructional
DVD’s to aid other groups in
beginning similar creative
outreach ministries.
Please contact John Coen,
Creative Ministries Director, by
email
or by calling 740.653.3320 X103
