Church Bulletin Art!


Ever wonder what to do during a boring sermon? Need to revert to your childhood during a simpleminded children's sermon? Need to occupy your time during the sharing about aunt so-and-so's toe operation or someone's missionary braggadocio? How about when your white congregation tries to sing African songs with about as much rhythm as a robot? Well, try new Church Bulletin Art! Just look at the graphics on your church bulletin and change the words or pictures into something more interesting! It's simple! It's easy! And it's fun! That's what I do and now I look forward to going to church every Sunday!!

Boys and girls, can you find the Mennonite Church USA logo (green bird with leaves) and the word "h-u-m-a-n" on the bulletins below? Sure you can! Just give it a try.

* This commercial was brought to you by the same people that brought you "No Doze Sermon Pills."

Alice in Wonderland




























I have been carying around a small 3" x 4" sketchbook with me, a practice I haven't done in many years. Sketched two of these drawings while watching Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland with my grandson, Gavin, last night. I keep adding characters.
