A Clown Ministry Christmas.With the ever-present crush of Yuletide commercialism, perhaps this can help you remember that Jesus is the reason
for the season. More generalized Clown Ministry skits can be found here.

A clown ministry. I can't really get beyond those words without laughing.

If clowns weren't scary enough, now I have to picture a baby clown being birthed. posted by asbates2 at 9:24 AM on December 7, 2004
You know, I've always thought that the "clowns are scary" thing is sort of bullshit. I don't think that many people are actually scared of clowns, it's just become a knee-jerk "funny" thing to say (...to avoid a nuanced and mature discussion of clowns?)
That being said, I find things like "1 speaking clown, carving a pumpkin to illustrate the gospel" and "A retelling of the parable of the Good Samaritan, set in the old west, for 4 speaking clowns" scary, but in a very different way. posted by Swampjazz! at 9:40 AM on December 7, 2004
