I visited I-Fest last week for a couple of days and had a lot of fun. (so did my car) I already posted my first impressions, so today I wanted to post some of the pictures of the different puppet teams, as well as a flash video of one of the interviews I did while I was there!

It was so cool to see these groups of young people having a great time at an event that is training them for ministry!

These guys are obviously having fun!

And how can you miss this group?

Even in a classroom they stand out!

Here is the back of their shirts with their name.

So many of them had a biblical source for their name too.

This dude is just too cool! And has “glory fingers”

And the HUG Puppets stand for:

I’ve heard of teams called “Uplifted Hands” and saw one that said “Talk to the Hand”

These shirts aren’t from a team, they were for sale, and I was going to buy one and forgot! DOH!
What would name a puppet team? Does your team have a name? Leave a comment here, or if you are a Kidology member, comment in the discussion there!
Here is the puppet I bought interviewing a seven week old baby! ENJOY!

Cool post and video. I love when the baby leans in when you, er, I mean the interviewer gives her a kiss. Cute!!

We had chosen the name 4 years ago “Talk to the Hand” and a complaint came from a women that it was not a nice saying so we canceled our shirts and went with Puppet Tales Ministery but it never caught on and we are now looking at doing new shirts and a new name. We are Calvery community church from Manteca Ca. and have been together for 5 years.
