Everyone has “that kid” in their children’s ministry. You know, the one who won’t sit still, never quits talking, and seems to thrive on punishment.

29 April | by Terry Delaney

Recently, Tony wrote a post on praying with your children at bedtime.  That post got me to thinking about praying with your children in general.  Whether you are involved in Children’s Ministry or are “just” a parent, it is essential to teach our children to pray for everything (Phil. 4:6).  I would like to share [...]
