Fishing stories. We've all heard them. "It was this big." "You should have seen the one that got away." People love to tell stories of their fishing adventures. When it comes to faith, however, most people clam up. Why is it we can't talk about what God has done in our lives as naturally as we can spin fishing tales? We will discuss things like: We Were All Fish Once, Why Fish?, Fish Guts, Fishing Buddies, Muddy Water, and The One That Got Away.
Based on the series by the same name at Northpoint Community Church.

Cast nets would make great set decorations - either hung from ceiling hooks or thrown over the side walls.
There is a fishing section in the St. pete Times once a week or so about the biggest or strangest catches of the week. Thought the programs could look like that on the inside with maybe people holding up an object or something that represented their biggest catch in life.

Set Design:
Fishing poles mounted to the side walls with line, hooks and signs - one side says "Go" the other side "Fish".
Marketing idea:
Give out mini poles with a fish card attached that has the series weeks broken down on one side and the title and dates of series on the other.
Cattails are always great for fishing decorations.
I see giant go fish card game cards - but instead of numbers generic peoples faces on them. Could be made into a drama with people sitting around a card table playing for people (ex. do you have 1 Donald? - either a match is made meaning that person has been reached or he goes back into the pool). Or...could be used in the teaching in the same vain - basically the point being that we are fishing with lives here and how many can we afford to put back?
very creative ideas!
Another marketing/series promo idea:
Packs of go fish cards (dollar store) make your own labels with series logo and weeks/dates on them.
use some footage from teh Deadliest Catch TV show - for the GO fish promo video -
use some high powered footage from the TV show - Deadliest Catch..
you could build a set to make it look like a commercial fishing boat.. nets, hooks, poles etc.. buckets.. (now if you could only make it rock and have waves crash over the side too!!)
you can have people tell of when they invited others (or if they were invited by friends) or witnessed-- and have them tell the stories during the series and call them "True Fish Stories"
These ideas are great! I really like the "true fish stories" concept. Do you have any particular people in mind for this?
