Five Snowy Day Family Devotional Ideas

by

I don’t know about you, but here in the northeast we have gotten hammered with snow.  Now I am not a cold weather person in the least, but I do adore the affect that snow has on kids.  The sheer thrill of snowflakes falling makes every limb of theirs dance stubbornly in their too big for them snowsuits.  Because they love snow, I have pledged to love snow as well. In Job 37:5-7, the Word says, “God’s voice thunders

Teaching Kids to Use Their Bibles (even before they can read)

by

Next to a saving relationship with Jesus Christ, the most important thing we can give the kids who pass through our children’s ministries is an understanding of how to use their Bibles.  The Bible is critical to the continued spiritual development of kids. If there was any doubt, just read these verses where the Bible describes itself. In my church, I work with Kindergarteners and First Graders every Sunday.  It’s a great age, but it does present some unique

This article will begin to cover the practical imperatives for IG ministry. The practical imperatives include uniting the fragmented family, embracing the scriptural role of the biological family as well as the family of faith, promoting the unity of the body, and nurturing the faith of every generation. Out of these four imperatives, uniting the fragmented family

Where is Jesus in this Bible Story?

by

For our children’s ministry, we use a curriculum from a well know national company who specializes in writing children’s curriculum for churches. Frankly, the stuff they put out is great! The large group teaching, small group activities and variety of “extras” you can buy to go along with the curriculum are all outstanding.  Each month we review a new biblical virtue and each week an aspect of that virtue is taught based upon a biblical story or

Review: Joey Allen’s "Big Thoughts for Little Thinkers"

by

One of the members at my church recently asked me if I knew of any good books for young children who were asking questions about spiritual matters.  There is a plethora of children’s bibles and curriculum geared towards older children, but it can be difficult to find foundational materials that invest in younger children.  A series with which I have been particularly impressed that is intended for ages four to seven is Big Thoughts for Little Thinkers,
