Here’s a Christmas theme/idea that I’ve never been able to use (yet)…
“A Pop-Up Christmas!” When I was a kid, I loved pop-up books – the more elaborate, the better. There was something magical about them – it was as if you could imagine yourself in the scenes that opened up before you. The goal of the service would be to try to recapture that feeling of enchantment, and using it to tell the greatest story of all time!
The Christmas story would be told by using several huge pop-up scenes. The “book” would be huge, and could either stand upright, or lay on the floor. This would be a SERIOUS undertaking (part of the reason I’ve never done it) – lots of artists and materials, and tons of prep. The result, though, could be an incredibly family-friendly service that would be both unique and memorable!

Hmmm - well, let's see...
I'm a Christian, a husband, a dad, a son, a pastor, a consultant, a musician, a writer, and bits and pieces of a bunch of other things. My work life has followed three main phases - business to teaching to church. I was the Weekend Services Pastor for nine years at Northview Church, an awesome church in the Indianapolis suburbs. I used to work for Willow Creek, another awesome church in the Chicago area. Plus I've written for various magazines and websites, and other freelancy sorts of things... My life mission is to help the church be as excellent as it can be.
Oh yeah - the name's Greg. Greg Wallace. But not the race car driver or the major league pitcher or the British celebrity chef. Just the creative worship guy. Hi.
It's my hope that these ideas, musings, rants, raves, etc... will inspire you. They're just my opinions - but again, I hope that they'll help to inspire you. Because the church really, really needs inspired creative types. If you're a creative type (and most people are, deep-down), ask God for help. Then take any ideas that are useful to you - borrow them, nab them, use them, adapt them - and make them into something greater...
