Tyler ShickMore Posts Christmas Time in the Office

We thought it would be great fun to send you gifts already wrapped for you to give your volunteers. Evidently Jared, who runs our warehouse, doesn’t feel the same way.

Watch here:

If you would like to help push Jared over the edge, just order Breath or the Emergency Response Handbook for Youth Ministry to give your staff (offer expires 12/12/08).

Merry Christmas!

In this new video from The Skit Guys, Tommy and Eddie re-think putting away the lights.
