If you have ever complained about the cost of conferences, or trimmed budgets, or travel costs or any other reason why you couldn't get quality training, I hope you took advantage of the free Children's Ministry Telesummit that took place earlier this week.

What?  You missed it?

Then you missed out on top notch training for 16 kidmin trainers without even leavin' your home!  I was honored to host a workshop entitled "Proactive Leadership," which expanded on my Children's Ministry Magazine Professional Edition series that kicked off with this article.

But I've got good news!  You can download all the workshops, listen to them whenever you like, and share them with your volunteers and ministry teams.  Keep reading for more information on this special offer!

Movie Review: Toy Story 3
Toy Story 3The toys are back in town!

"It had to happen. Children tend to grow up and go on with their lives. So, what happens to the beloved toys?" asks CP Team member Nancy Keith in her review of Toy Story 3.

"This film features lessons of endurance, trust, loyalty, standing up for what is right, and much more. You see these friends so committed to each other that they are literally willing to lay their lives down for each other... Love is communicated throughout this movie. The relationship between children and parents is respectful and loving."

As with all Kidology movie reviews, we provide children's ministry-oriented teaching tools such as an overview, areas of concern, teachable themes with scripture, and discussion questions.

In The "Between"
In BetweenAre you "in between" children's ministry gigs? Want to talk about it?

"I've been very quiet since October on these forums when I began a forced "sabbatical"... a.k.a. being laid off from my position at church," writes Kidology Forums member MizNetter.

"I've been reading, writing and working with Kidology Coach Barney Kinard during this period in preparation for the next place." 

"So here's a question that I have for you: What have you done when you were waiting for the next placement by God to prepare for the ministry?"
