Programs
For ChurchesKrakers sets off to prove he is the worlds greatest magician but doesn't quite succeed because Cuddles keeps out doing him but he does succeed in presenting the plan of salvation.
Cuddles and Krakers meet Filbert the Dragon. Filbert is feeling sad because he just flunked out of dragon school because he wasn't mean enough. Cuddles and Krakers help Filbert recognize he is special and has special gifts given to him by God (the gifts of the Spirit).
A evening of clown antics and all around fun with an emphasis on discipleship.
The JoyBringers are happy to create special shows to meet you ministry needs. Just ask.
Programs
For Schools
This special show was created to combat the growing problem of gangs and gang related violence.Cuddles and Krakers teach children how to choose good friends instead of gangs.
Cuddles
the clown is learning how to be a magician but when she decides to
ignore Bob, her magic book pandemonium breaks loose. Try as she might
she can't make Tricky Ricky the Magic Rabbit appear. Only when she
consults her magic book does Ricky appear to Cuddles (he's been
hopping around behind Cuddles during the entire show holding
different books on the teachers recommended reading list).
