Finding fresh outreach ideas can be a challenge these days.

One place to look is the Creative Ministries Workshop offered Sept. 10 at New Hope Christian Center, 1108 N. Argonne.

Topics include “Basic Puppetry,” “Clowning: Getting Started,” “Introduction to Gospel Illusion,” “Drama Basics,” “Face Painting for Outreach,” “Juggling for Ministry” and “Balloon Sculpture for Beginners.”

There also will be sessions on kids musical activities, a technical how-to lesson on stage production and resources.

The workshop is recommended for children and youth pastors, Sunday school teachers, children’s church leaders and all others who are interested in learning fun ways to reach youth and children.

Workshop classes, put on by Puppet Productions of DeSoto, Texas, will run from 6:30 to 10 p.m.

Registration is $15 per person if received before Sept. 1. Late registration is $18.

For registration information, call the church office at 926-5536 or Puppet Productions at (800) 854-2151.
