Staff pastor Jane Woodward let me know that the church's current theme is "Practicing the Presence." I wove that idea into my show, using my Multiplying Sponge Ball trick to give my audience a visual on what happens when we share our blessings. Sponge balls would disappear from my hand and jump into a volunteer's hand. He started with one and ended up with four! When we practice the presence of God, we give away our gifts but they keep coming back to us, multiplied by grace!
The children were howling with laughter throughout the show as a wand collapsed, a flower drooped and a volunteer's head mysteriously enlarged and shrunk after the audience watched a spinning red-and-white wheel. All in all, it was a great kick-off for new year of ministry to children.
