We tend to have several long (6-7 week) sermon series each year at Northview. To help tie things together, we usually have some sort of metaphor, or image, or stage design piece. Sometimes, a simple color can function as the unifying factor. For example, in 2010, we borrowed a series from Crossroads in Cincinnati, and used the color orange as the thing that held everything together. We painted our drum and keyboard risers orange, our info center in the lobby turned orange, etc… Not everything (that would be overkill), but enough to tie things together.
Here’s a color palate that you might use if you have a sermon series based on the Muppets:

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...
