Worship & Special Events
Two Great Options
for Morning Worship
Acts of Renewal can enhance the impact of your sermon with funny, powerful theatre that speaks to the heart. A great way to connect story with sermon principles in a way that sticks.
Or enjoy a break and have Jim and Carol offer worshipful engaging material for the sermon such as “The Art of Forgiveness”. This powerful presentation explores the challenges and truths of our call to forgive one another.
They use Scripture, story, testimony and theatre to bring it alive. There are many stories of how God has used this presentation to speak into lives. With either choice your people experience a ministry filled worship service that speaks to the heart.
Marriage and Family Ministry
Jim and Carol’s performances about relationships, are very funny and achingly true to life. For couples events, they address the real stuff in marriage offering practical tools for better relationships. Their events are designed with time for spouses to talk together to contextualize what they are learning.
As an audience, they get to yell out suggestions for improving conflict styles that Jim and Carol then incorporate with improv.
An alive, memorable and highly encouraging experience. Find out about the full range of what they offer to encourage marriages.
Christmas Outreach or Special Worship Service
“It is Christmas! These things, they come to me!”
-The Jamaican Wiseman
Mary and the Annunciation, The Jamaican Wiseman and more. Wonderful Christmas theatre pieces from that work great as part of a worship service or easy programming for a Christmas outreach event that works.
