Upcoming Tour

I’m embarking on a brief tour through Indiana and Illinois over the next few weeks. This will be exciting because I will pass through my old college stomping grounds. I have the opportunity to begin this trip at the Illinois State Fair with the Child Evangelism Fellowship tent (Aug 14-15). Through the medium of juggling equipmnt, I’ll get to share the message of the Wordless Book and the “little flip book” made popular by CEF.

Then I’ll go to a camp near Peoria, IL that I recently did a program for back in June. The group of kids will be different, though. I especially remember the tether ball stations that this camp offers! (Aug 16)

Then I head to Indiana for a string of churches near my alma mater, Taylor University (Aug 17-21). By this time, my wife will meet up with me so we can share the rest of the trip together. She also went to Taylor. By the way, Sarah is back from her summer trip and I am so glad to have my best friend around again.

Finally, Sarah and I will have a day off (Aug 22). Maybe we’ll go hike in Brown County or something. Then we’ll head to Church at the Crossing in Indianapolis on Wednesday, Aug 23. Maybe she and I will have time to have lunch or dinner at the Greek restaurant on the South side of Indy that was the location of our very first date back on Valentine’s Day of 2002.

So, come see us on this tour. The calendar is on my website, www.jessethejuggler.com. So far, I only have one groupie – her name is Sarah!

Children’s Sermon: Ezekiel’s Vision

One Sunday last month, I taught the children’s sermon. In our church, the children are with the adults for the first half of the Sunday morning worship. Then they come to the front for a blessing and/or children’s sermon before being dismissed for a separate teaching time during the adult sermon. I have found that…
