LOUISVILLE – Churches seeking to start or improve creative arts and youth missions ministries will benefit from an array of practical training sessions at two upcoming Creative Ministries Festivals.
Expected to draw thousands of participants, Creative Ministries Festival 2008 will be held Feb. 29-March 1 at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, and again March 7-8 at First Baptist Church in Bowling Green.
Sponsored by the Kentucky Baptist Convention, each festival will run from 5:30-11 p.m. on Friday and will continue from 9 a.m.- 4:45 p.m. on Saturday.
Designed for teens and adults of all skill levels, both events feature a wide variety of training sessions. Attendees can customize their event experience by selecting from several creative arts workshops, including: drama, interpretive movement, mime, puppetry, children’s creative arts, sign art and clowning.
Special guest artists featured this year will be: Chagy the Clown; Jeff Smith, director for Salt & Light Ministries in Richmond, Va.; comedienne Kim Coleman; and comedian Dr. Tom.
Registered church groups may elect to perform a one act play, puppet skit or song, black light performance or interpretive movement routine.
A variety of youth missions workshops will also be offered to help train teens and leaders interested in planning mission trips, vacation Bible schools, games and craft-making, and more.
Auditions for the Kentucky Baptist All-State Youth Choir and Youth Orchestra will again take place in conjunction with the Creative Ministries Festivals. High school youth who are active members of a Kentucky Baptist Convention church may audition at either location.
