Storytelling and the Hunger Games
A few months ago I picked up the Hunger Games. I started reading it early one Saturday morning and couldn’t put it down. I’ve now read all three books in the series. It’s been a while since a great story has totally sucked me in this way. The over arching theme of these books is not for young [...]

A few years ago I had a discrepancy with our mortgage company. They said we owed a late payment…I did not agree. I called them. I was on hold for 20 minutes. I explained the situation to one person. He was not authorized to change anything and advised me that the easiest solution was to pay [...]

One of my favorite things about Family Birthday Celebration is hearing our kids share their stories. If you work in Children’s Ministry you and your team play a part in stories just like this every week. God is at work in the lives of our children. I love that we are here to witness it!

While I was hanging out backstage with the volunteer team, I noticed how they had personalized their space. I loved it! There was an orange Christmas tree! There were verses [...]

We just launched the Big Idea of Cooperation. One of the stories that we wanted to teach as a part of Cooperation was the Great Commission. We wanted to show our kids that God could have spread His message in a million, supernatural, amazing ways, but He chose to work through people. Our bottom line? [...]

From time to time I get the opportunity to tell the Bible Story to our kids in both Waumba Land and UpStreet. I love it! As I hang out backstage with our different volunteers, I can see that everyone has a different way of preparing. Some methods work better than others and some people are more [...]

We had to travel through time . . . but it was totally worth it! Every year we challenge parents to bring the party home and [...]

October was a GREAT month in Waumba Land. Super Kids was the theme. Teaching preschoolers that they can count on God was the purpose. Implementing a fun theme from time to time, is a great idea! Our favorite things about Super Kids: 1. Our staff and volunteers were excited to do something new. It’s fun to shake things up every [...]
