Built-In Pit StopsIs life crazy busy for you? Have you tried to get it in balance and failed? Have you strived for margin and seen it fill up over and over with church and other stuff and fought to get it out again? Have you wondered, "Can I ever win this battle to get control of my life?!"
Me too.
You may want to consider a built-in pit stop in your life. A breakaway from ministry via our Kidology retreats, Yosemite Summit and Unbridled. These ministry sabbaticals allow you to fellowship with each other and focus on your relationship with God. And nothing else.
There is only 1 spot remaining for Yosemite Summit (Men, May 23-27) and 1 spot open for Unbridled (Women, May 24-26). Don't miss out on these awesome opportunities!
Because Jesus Loves Children,

So, you want to talk Family Ministry?
|  Frank Tan asks in the Kidology Forums, "Do I dare venture to say that parents may be more receptive to a children's pastor who's single (seen as objective third party) or whose children are grown (seen as experienced veteran)?"
Join the in-depth discussion about the ins and outs of family ministry... and a little bit of Collaborate thrown in for good measure!

| DiscipleTown #6 - How to Make Good Choices |  How to Make Good Choices, Unit 6 in the DiscipleTown Kid's Church curriculum series from Karl Bastian and DiscipleLand, is now available!
Many parents pray long and hard that their children will make good choices. It is essential that we equip children while they are young with decision-making skills that will enable them to weigh and evaluate alternatives.
This unit will help your children understand the power they have to choose between right and wrong. They will learn how to win the spiritual battle that rages inside, as well as what to do after they make a bad choice - as we all do far too many times. You will encourage your kids to listen to the positive influences that help guide them toward sound choices along the way.
