Welcome to the Next Step experience!
What's "the Next Step?" That's a question I'm often asked. "What's the next step in my clowning?" "What's the next step I should take to improve my ministry?" "What do I need to do to make that next step to powerfully connect with my audience?" At the Next Step workshop we try to answer those questions and teach the concepts that will help you take your clown ministry to the next level.
We focus on quality clowning, and quality of ministry. I'll write more about that later:
Briefly, understand that this workshop has limited enrollment. Last year (with Rev. Roly Bain) we only allowed fifteen registrants. This is a "hands on" tutoring type of environment. We give personal training, personal advice, and share our personal lives, struggles, triumphs, and insights during these five days. (Read future postings to hear from previous attendees.)
Here's some quick information to get you started:
The Next Step will happen in Willmar, MN (100 miles west of Minneapolis).
That's my home town, and it will take place at my home church.
Attendees usually stay in a Super 8 hotel just a 1/2 mile from the church. The hotel expense is not included in the registration cost.
Our tentative plan is to begin on Wednesday morning. We will most likely meet Tuesday night for some fellowship for those that arrive in Willmar on Tuesday. This start time is yet to be decided. We conclude Sunday at lunch after the attendees present Sunday morning kids' services at Willmar Assembly of God.
The registration cost is $350 per person. An additional attending family member receives a $75 discount. A returning Next Step attendee receives a $50 discount.
Registration includes: admittance to all training sessions, individual coaching, laughs, five meals, workshop notebook including "exclusive" articles, great new friendships, and the time of your life!
The 2007 instructors will be:
Brenda Marshall - former Clowns of America, International President
Jeff McMullen - former Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey circus performer and trainer
...and me, Randy Christensen - clown, author, performer, pastor
