What’s in the Bible Curriculum for Churches

Tony Kummer — Fri, 15 Apr 2011 10:44:58 +0000

You know I’m a fan of the What’s in the Bible?, so I was excited when their team contacted me about running a promotion on our website.

They are developing a curriculum series for churches based on the DVDs. From what I’ve heard and previewed, it’s a great option for serious Bible education that kids will love.

If you don’t own their DVDs yet, you might want to add them to your personal or church library. Click here to learn more on the official website. For a limited time you can use the coupon code “ministrytochildren” to get free shipping.

They want to giveaway one set of the first 3 volumes, which equals 12 weeks of curriculum. The retail value of that bundle is $240. Currently they sell it for $199.99.

This drawing has ended and the winner has been notified by email. Thanks for all the great comments and thanks to What’s in the Bible for the great giveaway.

Noah’s Ark Alphabet Rug

Tony Kummer — Wed, 06 Apr 2011 12:48:46 +0000

Last week I was contacted by Dee from the Children’s Ministry Resource company. They wanted to sponsor a giveaway here on our website. After a few e-mails we settled on this Noah’s Ark rug with the alphabet.

I could imagine having one of these at church, or even in the kids playroom at home. The rug measures 3’10″ x 5’5″ and sells for $109. You can learn more about this product on their official website.

This contest has now ended and the winner has been notified. Thanks to everyone who shared their great church memories in the comment section.

If you’d like to enter this giveaway, leave a comment below sharing what you remember about your church facility as a child. If you didn’t grow up in church you can share something your kids have noticed about the church building or decorations.

For example, I remember the smell of the church basement and the faded posters of Bible characters on the walls.

This contest will close on Thursday 14 April 2011. I’ll select one random winner from the comments below. The prize can only be shipped to US addresses.

New Spark House Curriculum

Tony Kummer — Wed, 20 Oct 2010 02:07:28 +0000

A few weeks back, Nicole wrote a very positive review of the re:form curriculum from Spark House. The material is geared toward middle school confirmation classes, but could be used in many other ministry settings. My though was using it a few grades on either side of Middle School, maybe even as preteen Sunday School curriculum. Click here to read our full review.

Now, this post is your chance to win this material for your church. Simply watch the video below and share your first impressions in our comment section. Next Monday 25 October, I will randomly select a winner to get a copy of the Leader Guide, DVD Set, and 5 Anti-Workbooks .

God Rocks VBS Starter Kit

Tony Kummer — Wed, 26 May 2010 15:49:04 +0000

A few months back, the people at Kidmo contacted me about their VBS program called God Rocks Starlight Rescue. I wanted to do an in-depth review, but just wasn’t able to block off the time. Here is a description of the program that Kidmo sent. Click here for more information and to order this VBS program.

God Rocks! Starlight Rescue VBS and comes from the God Rocks! ministry folks out of Canada. It has a exciting outer-space theme to it. We specialize in media-driven resources and this VBS has the most and best media I have seen in a VBS. It seemed like something we would have done if we produced a VBS so it was a natural fit and so we have been helping God Rocks! get this distributed to churches in the USA.

The opening session has an interactive cartoon with a continuing storyline for each of the five days. The church provides a host that has a script and interacts with the cartoon. The worship music videos are very relevant sounding for kids and have a great but not distracting look to them.

One of the breakouts sessions has a 12 minute cartoon and then a lesson for the teacher to follow. Another breakout area is for learning the motions to a new worship song each day and an opportunity to have an air-band competition to it while watching the music video for it.

There are also games, crafts & snack ideas (3 of each to choose from each day) that keep the theme going the whole time.

All of the printed materials, teacher manuals, marketing, etc are on CD-Rom so they can be e-mail or printed in quantities needed. There are very few extras to buy beyond the Mega Kit. Plus there is also a Preschool version included in the kit.

It was all written and put together by children’s pastors with a large amount of VBS experience and we have gotten amazing reaction from churches about how it is complete, thought-out and easy to use.

I’m going to make this one simple. Just check out this video about Starlight Rescue VBS and leave a comment below to share your first impressions. Feel free to be honest with any concerns or get excited if your a God Rocks fan. I will randomly pick one a winner next Wednesday 2 June 2010. If this is your first time to comment, it may take a few hours to appear because of my spam protection. I will only be able to ship this to US addresses. Good luck!
