What I wish I knew when I started in KidMin

I recently took a survey on FB asking the question, “If you could give some advice to a person who is new in ministry, what would it be?” I was blown away by the answers and how many responses I received. Father God calls us and we answer His call.  Our journey begins.  Early in […]

What can we learn from the Easter Bunny?

Easter is quickly approaching.  Easter is a time of celebration for Christians rejoicing in what Jesus did for us.  He loved us to much that He died on the cross, took our sin upon Himself and rose again with new life. However, there is a big bunny in the room.  Did you know we can […]

Does God listen to kids when they pray?

Matthew 6:6, “But when you pray, go away by yourself.” (NLT) Prayer is talking to God and listening to God. This is how we spend time with God. When I teach kids about prayer, I want to establish three vital things: • Prayer is key to our relationship with God. • I want to define […]

“Once Jesus was in a certain place praying. As He finished, one of His disciples came to Him and said, “Lord, teach us to pray….” Why did the disciples ask Jesus to teach them how to pray? They could see that Jesus was getting answer to His prayers and they were not. I am a […]

The Best Parent Email I Ever Sent

I’d like to share with you the most successful parent email I ever sent. I have found email to be an effective way to recruit parents to serve in Kids Ministry, but it has to be short, direct and give a strong ask.   Like most churches, COVID decimated our volunteer force.

I’ve Got Some Good News…
