Family Builder Format

Building strength in families - Building on the strengths already in families - that is the idea behind our new performance format. If a host church chooses, we can provide this new option that uses some of the routines in our performances to help practice talking about things they want and need to talk about at home. 

Feedback about our program indicates that people talk about our performance long after we are gone. It is a pretty strange thing to see juggling and unicycles in a church! But the talk is also about other things related to family; about how siblings can work together, about spending time together as a family, about cooperation and communication.

When a church chooses the family builder format there will be small but important changes in what happens on stage. There will still be a theme, the Gospel message and encouragement to Christian living. There will still be lots of juggling and unicycles and balancing. What will be different is that we will take three or four of our juggling routines and use them as a way of having families talk to/with each other right in our performances. The routines make people laugh but they also make people think about their own family.

We have specific options available for churches to choose from so they can tailor the discussions to what might be of most interest to their church families. The format will require some extra set up by the host church. For example, families will need to sit together. It might be helpful to have a meal ahead of time and do some ice-breaking activities (we can provide that as well), and the publicity will need to indicate that something extra will be added to the performance. However, we don't want to advertise it as a "workshop" because we think that may scare some people away. But in the context of an enjoyable evening, families will have a chance to start some conversations about important things we think will continue at home.
