TWO STEPS!
Yes maam!  There will be TWO “Next Step” Workshops in 2015.  One in the northeast and one in the northern midwest.

For those that are not familiar with the “Next Step” Workshop, each time we host it I have a different co-instructor (or two) with me. We are always covering new material and also working to hone our skills in stage performance and clear, comedic ministry material.  Fact is, these two workshops will be different from each other, covering about 1/3 of the same material. The other 2/3rds will only be offered at the one location. (Yep, that’s “how I roll.”)  This is one of the reasons that some Next Step attendees come back time after time.

Attendance is limited to the first 15 registrants. We keep this up close and personal focused on your needs with personal coaching and small group work.

Both workshops will start on a Wednesday afternoon (3:00) and conclude at 1:00 on Sunday.

The cost for this 5 day training is $375. Housing is an additional cost at each location. Most of your meals will be provided.

Next Step – Northeast
Our host for this workshop in upstate New York is Barb Field.  All activities and housing will be at the Calvary Hill Retreat Center on April 8-12, 2015.  Location:  Calvary Hill Retreat Center, 290 Chestnut Street, Oneonta, NY 13820

I’m THRILLED to have “professional goofball,” Don B!, as my co-instructor. Don is former Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey circus clown, Disneyland performer and two-time national unicycle champion. He brings the fun! I don’t know that I know a more meticulous performer with great insights and skills including close-up magic, juggling, and practical ministry experience. Don has been doing ministry programs (and secular) full-time for over 25 years. He’s been the featured children’s performer at some of the largest churches in America and also with the Franklin Graham crusade team. Don is one of those “hidden gems” that you won’t see at many conferences or conventions. And, he’s with us in New York to help you make your “next step.” (More information on Don at www.DonBministries.com)

For more information on the housing arrangements, you may call Barb Field at 607-432-0988.

For more information on programming and registration, please contact me via email at pastorclown@gmail.com  I have a questionnaire and a registration form for you to process.


Next Step – Midwest
I will be hosting a November 4-8 workshop at my new home church in Mankato, Minnesota. Location: Hillside Church, 502 S. Victory Drive, Mankato, MN 56001

I’m also happy to be able to invite everyone over to the studio at my house during our “Next Step” time.  And.....BIG NEWS....my WIFE will be doing the cooking. (...and past attendees know how awesome that really is!)

Back by popular demand, my co-instructor will be former RBBB clown and trainer, Jeff McMullen. Jeff is a college instructor, motivational speaker, and certified karate coach. Jeff is a distinguised graduate of the Ringling Brothers Barnum & Bailey Circus Clown College and, in his earlier days, toured nationally with the circus. Jeff also has represented McDonald's restaurants as part of its personality-based marketing programs. 

In 1989, he was asked to serve as an instructor/curriculum developer for the Clown College's history-making founding session in Japan. In 1991, he became the star performer and Director of Western Entertainment at Reoma World, in Southern Japan. Jeff brings great insights on the business of clowning, along with comedy insights and age-appropriate physicality. More information on Jeff at:  http://www.jeffmcmullen.com

Randy will be providing housing information for those coming to Next Step - Midwest as the dates draw nearer.

Once again...only 15 spots open at each workshop.
