(all ages)
with King Julez (Julian Munro)
Spend some time with King Julez and learn about what it means to be a drag clown and student in ministry! Children will be able to listen to storytime, scriptures, skits and share in expressing themselves. All will have a chance to paint themsleves as their own drag identity and there will be opportunities for participants to draw/colour up different reflections to each piece of reading (on paper and/or their face).
