One challenge of children’s minsitry is keeping parents up-to-date about all the things the kids are learning. I’ve heard of several approaches:
- Mailing a newsletter to parents
- Sending regular email to parents
- The weekly take-home flier
- Bulletin Boards
- Children’s Update in the worship bulletin
All these can be good, but my favorite is the last one I listed. It takes less time, reaches the most parents, and has the best chance of getting read every week. Plus the whole congregation will know what is happening with the children’s minsitry.
Leave a comment and share your best ideas for keeping parents informed about the children’s ministry.
