This past week we launched the beginning of a new curriculum series for this year. Yes, we are still teaching a big idea each month, and yes, we will still have a bottom line each week. But this year we are going to spend 10 months tying the big themes of the Bible together in order [...]

18. August 2010
As we were preparing our small group leaders to start the new school year, there were a few things that we wanted them to remember. Our hosts are opening with a “Don’t Be That Kid” video segment in large group, so we thought it would be fun to play off of this idea. We emailed the [...]

Today was a great day! Lots and lots of kids…lots and lots of parents…lots and lots of volunteers. God brought a lot of people through our doors.

As we head into this Easter weekend, I wanted to share a recording of the Easter Bible story that we told on UpStreet a few years ago. I know that Easter weekend is a busy time for children’s ministry leaders as you add more services and pack more families in than any other time of [...]

24. March 2010
A few months ago we posted on our “non” electronic check-in system. We know there are many great reasons to use an electronic check-in system and when we received a great comment from Clair Maurice, a children’s pastor from Silverwater, Austrailia, we asked her to write and tell us about it.
