Here's what people are saying about The Joyful Noiseletter

"I was thrilled to read our church can now receive The Joyful Noiseletter electronically. JN's reproducible cartoons and humor pieces are far superior to what your competitors offer. It's an excellent and affordable resource."

— Doris Anderson
Ministry Assistant, Lutheran Church in Baltimore, MD

Best-selling Christian author Paul L. Maier, a prominent Lutheran who is Professor of Ancient History at Western Michigan University, wrote recently:

"I've been on the road giving seminars across the country. It's delightful to note the presence of The Joyful Noiseletter in so many congregations across the land.

JN's fame is widespread - as ought to be the case for a publication which easily buries the concept of Christianity as a 'joy-killer.' Truly, it's a 'joy-instiller,' as your witty comments, puns, holy humor, and cartoons bring out in every issue. The Joyful Noiseletter is the best humor publication in Christendom. Keep up the great work!"

Send us your holy humor!

G.K. Chesterton once wrote: “Angels can fly because they take themselves lightly. Never forget that the devil fell by force of gravity. He who has the faith has the fun.”

And do our subscribers have fun!

Our award-winning newsletter, a publication of the Fellowship of Merry Christians, provides churches with a monthly supply of hilarious cartoons, clean jokes, one-liners, inspirational stories, and joyful Scripture references. And JN doesn’t carry any ads!

Local church publications and church web sites reprint JN’s anecdotes and priceless cartoons by 16 of the Christian world’s finest cartoonists, including Bil Keane, creator of The Family Circus, and Johnny Hart, creator of B.C.

Every month, subscribers receive in JN 10 or more delightful cartoons related to current events, church calendars, holidays, and the changing seasons. The cartoons in JN may be reprinted in church newsletters, bulletins, fliers, posters, signs, and letterheads free-of-charge and without seeking permissions. They also may be projected on overhead screens.

Pastors and lay speakers use JN’s fresh and timely holy humor and cartoons in their sermons and presentations. And Sunday school teachers, youth pastors, chaplains, and health professionals find the healing humor in JN invaluable in getting the attention of children and teenagers, and cheering up hospital patients, depressed parishioners, shutins, and the elderly.

Humor, like love, crosses denominational lines. And the many very funny contributors to JN reflect the diversity of beliefs and humor in our Christian traditions, as well as the many beliefs we all share in common.

JN has won awards of excellence for newsletters from all three Christian press associations.

The Joyful Noiseletter's subscribers include pastors, church newsletter editors, health professionals, chaplains, humorists, comedians, cartoonists, clowns, public speakers, toastmasters, lay church leaders, youth ministers, and lots of people who just enjoy sharing good, clean humor and healing laughter.

For a modest cost — only $29 — JN will help your church produce a joyful, warm, and exciting newsletter, bulletin, and web site.

Every new subscriber also receives our annual catalog of books, CDs, and prints, as well as a wallet-size card of “The Risen Christ by the Sea” painting — a representation of the “Easter laugh.”

Jesus asked his followers to “be of good cheer.” Faith and humor are powerful bridge-building and healing tools. Faith and humor are an unbeatable team in helping to lift people above the force of gravity. When you subscribe to JN, you, too, like C.S. Lewis, will be “surprised by joy.”

God bless and smile on you!
