What Do You Do with the Potential "Controversies" at Christmas?

We are entering a month of celebrating, special events, programs, and parties leading up to Christmas! Definitely a busy time of year, but also a time of year which has great potential to stir up "trouble" as you try to discern the best way for your Children's Ministry to handle things such as; gift exchanges, special service projects, dealing with "Santa", and just how many special events should you plan in this month when families already tend to be so busy. Do any of the following sound familiar to you . . .

Thankful or Wantful?

We celebrated Thanksgiving and once again people rushed to stores for "Black Friday Deals" and spent yesterday looking for "Cyber Monday Deals" as well. People have turned their focus to the things they "want" . . . and this includes the children in our ministries as they think about the things they want to receive for Christmas.

Do You Know How History, Community & Culture Impact Your Children's Ministry?

Too often we tend to think Children's Ministry is just comprised of churches and children, which, technically, it is; but our churches . . . and our children . . . are not identical.  Our communities are different.  Our people are different.  Our histories are different. Our cultures are different. What works in one church, may or may not work in another.  And, while there are components which are essential for every Children’s Ministry to be effective, there is no “secret recipe” where if you are certain to include each ingredient, you will be guaranteed an effective Children’s Ministry.

Praying Deeper Through the Scriptures - Now Available in Paperback - Makes a Great Christmas Gift!

Please share with the parents and grandparents in your church - 

Over the years I have written several books which guide parents and grandparents in praying through the Scriptures for their own walk with God and for their children/ grandchildren's walk as well. I lead the G@P (Generations at Prayer) group at my church and we have worked through my books in the past three years, so this year I wrote a new book for my group to use with a focus on praying both Old and New Testament passages for the children we love who are walking with God and those who are not. Praying Deeper Through the Scriptures is now available in paperback and makes a fantastic Christmas gift for the parents and grandparents on your gift list!Over the years I have written several books which guide parents and grandparents in praying through the Scriptures for their own walk with God and for their children/ grandchildren's walk as well.

Be Encouraged! God Sees & Remembers!

Serving in Children's Ministry can be one of the most joy-filled things you will ever do! Serving in Children's Ministry can be one of the most pain-filled things you will ever do. Both of these sentences are true. Serving can be joy-filled because you are able to use the gifts and abilities God has given you to help children learn of God's love and grace and how they can know and walk with Him for the rest of their lives! Definitely joy-filled! It can be joy-filled because you get the opportunity to serve with others who are giving their all to the Children's Ministry - some of the most wonderful people I've ever met serve in Children's Ministry!
