The Clumsy Clown Club

A Servant Ministry of Elementary Age Children

 

Fun and laughter abounds during the Clumsy Clown gatherings.  This clown club is not just a novelty but a very important ministry that points to God.  Christian clowns are about the business of being in servant ministry.  They are fools for Christ.  Christian clowns reach down and lift others up.  They are weak so others can be strong.  Clowns find that the most powerful persons are those who give power away.

 

Clowning, like our faith, is a transforming journey.  The clowns will take on new names.  These names usually reflect something about themselves.  They will leave their old self behind and with the use of makeup, wigs, and costumes will take on a new identity.

 

Once a person is transformed into a clown they become agents of transformation.  Clowns don't change a situation but can transform them.  In the transformation process they take the common and simple and raise them to new heights of possibility and meaning through fun and laughter.  When clowns go into a hospital room the person doesn't become suddenly well but the situation becomes one where their illness is transcended for a moment.
