Puppet Ministry

The Joyful Noise Puppet Team was started seven years ago with a handful of members.  Since then, we have grown in numbers.  Our name comes from Psalms 100, Make a Joyful Noise Unto the Lord. 

Our Mission is to reach out into the community and spread God's Word in a unique and creative way.  God has allowed us to do this, and we minister to all ages.  We have given God's Word to other churches inside and outside of our town.  We give God's Word for our church congregation on the last Sunday of every month at both services. 

Another thing we do in the spring and in the fall is go to a Regional Puppet Festival.  The spring festival is in Tinley Park, Illinois and the fall festival is in Indianapolis, Indiana.  These festivals are put on by One Way Street Productions, a professional puppet company that builds puppets and produces performance materials.  The festivals give us a chance to compete in front of other teams, along with receiving constructive criticism and praise.  We also get a lot of new ideas not only from attending the classes One Way Street provides, but also by watching the other puppet teams in competition. 

If you would like to have  the Joyful Noise Puppet Ministry come and give a message, please contact the First Church of God  at 219-362-7433.  We hope  that you get a chance to see us minster to others and that you will receive the message we bring.  May God Bless you, now and always.
