Tim Singer - swatteamuth@hotmail.com
Tim shared some great physical sermon illustrations he has used.
One idea was about lunch boxes, tied to the feeding of the 5,000. Another idea had to do with a large dog bone, tied to the valley of the dry bones.

2ft x 3ft color prints - cheap
http://www.shortrunposters.com/
Kent Duncan - kent_duncan@yahoo.com
Great spot for large (24"X36"), inexpensive ($2/each, I think, plus flat rate shipping for the whole order) poster-prints. We post candid oversized photos of our own people in the youth and children's areas, especially. You could do the same with pics from church activities, local community events, stuff like that.
* Kent was unable to attend, but sent a great idea anyway!
CORRECTION: the print outs are now 18x24, not 24x36. Still a great deal though!
