POINTS OF INTEREST ABOUT TOBY KID'S
| Toby KID is not an ordained minister. The development of my worship over the last 18 years has been aided by reverends, ministers, and Biblical scholars. As I am not an ordained minister, I rely on these leaders for advice, guidance and reassurance of accuracy to proper teachings. The denomination is irrelevant to the teachings of God as His, and hopefully our message is pertinent to all who live and seek eternal wisdom. |
| The service lasts at long as it takes. No, really, it lasts about an hour from the time the clown enters the santuary until the time he exits. However, as live performances go, it depends on the crowd's willingness to participate and the amount of participants. Please do not schedule any other activities during worship time on your Clown Worship Sunday. |
| The worship is designed to entertain kids and make adults ponder. Let me reassure you that our worship has played to vastly diverse congregations across the United States. The goal of or worship is to praise the good Lord for letting me do what I do. Through this time of praise we encourage others to participate in our holy mission, praising the Lord. Several segments of our program ask of the participants to step outside their normal worship zone and experience God in a new light. One segment thus, builds on the previous, taking all who participate on a spiritual journey. We never want people to be uncomfortable with our worship, but we to want them to experience the great Power that propels our days from a different and perhaps a unique perspective. |
| All you need to supply is the congregation. As a touring clown, I have learned that the more of my performing environment that I can control, the more impact the performance will have. We will supply our own accompaniment before, during, and following the worship. As well as select members of the attending congregation for help to communicate God's message through out the service. One specific thing that greatly impacts the emotional response of the clown and his participants is the opening. The "regular stuff" of worship is removed prior to the service, such as the altar cover, cross, bible, the pulpit, baptism, candles, anything that is not nailed down. This allows the clown to construct an alter to worship from, inviting the congregation to help in the construction process. This simple beginning mirrors the ministers job as a spiritual leader building a community in God to support your members and reach out to those who are not allowing all to come together as one for God. |
| Communion is served! Clowns have had a long and ceremonious position in the church for centuries. Part of their task, like the court jesters, was to mock the establishment and offer an unorthodox solution to the problem at hand. The Whiteface continues that tradition by offering a bread communion during the service. |
| Please call with any questions! The Clown Worship is advertised strictly through word of mouth (and now this web site) so we come to you on a recommendation, however, we have learned the difficulty in describing what it is we do. We look forward to meeting and exceeding your expectations. Contact us with any concerns or questions at the address below. |
| The service is completely self contained. There is no charge for this service. A love offering is accepted |
