Fill out the form and tell us why your ministry needs a robot
Watch this blog on Friday to find out who won!

Here are a few of the great responses to the robot question we’ve got so far:

Listen to the drama stories from junior high girls. Respond with ”ohhh’s” every 3mn.

AppropriBot: Pull Boys pants up, give girls sweaters as needed. The robot would also pick up on pheromones of students. When pheromone levels are too high, it would run in circles and make loud and annoying noises to distract students. It would also have the voice of Morgan Freeman.

I would have him lead worship because he would have a T-Pain-like computer generated voice.

Good Luck!
