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.

We just stated our puppet team in January. We’ve just been calling ourselves the _PC Puppet team or puppet ministry. But, just yesterday we we’re discussing the fact that we need a better name. I went on line and found your post. I have posted a few times about our puppets. We have a performance tonight. I would love to be in on any puppet connections you have. Thanks My blog is juliassewsweetandspecial.blogspot.com
julia r’s last blog post..# Two’s done, too!
I am starting a puppet ministry with a church, and I have been seeking GOD’S word on a name. So far HE has given me (things related with sheep), I’m thinking GOD’S flock, but not really sure. May I ask for some other to give me some names that might be uplifting. This is a same group, but GOD started with only 12 when he went out.
