Merry Christmas

Just wanted to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I prayer that the Lord (the true reason for the season) has great things in store for you and your ministry to His kids!

Merry Christmas,
Greg - the Kidminister

New Applications coming to the Kidminister Site

I am currently working on adding some new applications to the site which will hopefully put more help and resources into the hands of children's ministry workers. The first of these applications is the new Kidminister Forum (http://www.kidminister.org/forum). There is a link on the bottom right side of the front page.

This will be one way that this site can become more helpful to others, which means your participation and involvement is important. This forum is strictly for resources, ideas and other such helpful things for children's ministry workers. This is not the place for debates, gossip or slaundering others (most of which are sins). So, get registered and help get the boards going.

Celebration & Service

The Christmas Season is upon us. All the craziness that goes with it is here, also. Be sure this December while you celebrate with your kids you also find ways they can serve. Christmas brings more opportunities, I think, then any other time of the year to do for others.

Classes or age groups can help with things like Angel Tree that buys gifts for children's whose parents are in prison, Toys for Tots, or one of those gift programs that sends shoe boxes of things to kids in need. Other ideas might be a simple as writing Christmas greeting cards to your church's windows and shut in members. Don't forget singing Christmas carols to places like fire stations, nursing home and again your shut in members. Whatever you do, don't forget to inspire generosity and service to others as you minister to kids living in a very material world.

God bless and Merry Christmas.
Greg
