January routinely marks an intensive planning month for Kid’s Ministry. Typically we plan the themes and delegate responsibilities for the year. The Christmas programs this year were bursting with more kids than ever before. Our desire has been to reach out to the kids with fresh resources, better crafts and memorable games. Through the blessings of a church we received brand new donated Bible Teaching for children – BTFK (LIFEWAY). It is complete with pictures, teacher guides, theme posters and learner guides for 8 – 11 year old children.
We have never had such a complete curriculum! We will give each regular attender a new 30 page colorful learner guide to follow along with in the new 3 month curriculum. Those of you who have been at HOPE and witnessed how we do Kid’s ministry in the past, will understand what a HUGE change this is for the children and us as well.
Normally we make do with what we have. We are very creative and draw pictures and paste them onto cardboard. The kids are accustomed to writing out their memory verses in their own study books that they bring to children’s programs. Many can’t afford to buy books for school AND for ministry. What a treat for us all! We anticipate some very ecstatic children when they see what we have to offer!!! We are so grateful for this HUGE BLESSING.
