Puppet Ministry Pizzazz Has Arrived

The Third Sunday of Advent speaks of a long, dark season of waiting, culminating in great joy when the Lord’s promise was fulfilled. Of course, Advent refers to the centuries people waited for the promised Messiah, whose arrival Christians celebrate on Christmas Day. I’ll bet Mary’s nine months of waiting felt like a century, too, and her joy when the promised son finally lay in her arms is a pleasure to contemplate.

Another long wait culminated in great joy on this year’s Third Sunday of Advent. After years of working off and on to produce a book on personal puppet ministry, I finally can announce the arrival of Puppet Ministry Pizzazz: Make Your Message Pop with a Puppet Pal.

Puppet Ministry Pizzazz has its own page here on Faith Songs, and you’re invited to hop over to that for detailed book information. But Moochacha and I couldn’t resist giving you a quick video intro:

Rejoice, with pizzazz, friends! The Lord has fulfilled his promises: a book and a baby, safely delivered. Pray with me, too, that Puppet Ministry Pizzazz will be a source of blessing in many lives. The world needs more messengers of faith and hope and love, and that’s what puppet ministry is all about.

Is the Lord calling you to give it a try?

Merry Christmas!

Christmas is near, the promise of a Savior about to be fulfilled. What better way to express the long-awaited hope of mankind than through a new mother’s song of welcome to her oh-so-special baby son?

I wrote “Mary’s Lullaby” and several other songs for a Christmas Eve service held at Ouaquaga United Methodist Church several years ago. God willing, those pieces will grow into a complete cantata someday. For now, I’m content to hear my talented soprano daughter, Theresa Olin, singing  “Mary’s Lullaby.”

Listen with me.

Merry Christmas, and may all your God-inspired hopes be fulfilled!
