DiscipleTown #12 - How to Meet with God
"How to Meet with God"How to Meet with God is Unit 12 in the DiscipleTown Kid's Church curriculum series from Karl Bastian and DiscipleLand.

While our ultimate destination with our Creator is to be cherished and celebrated, Jesus also died to welcome us into a relationship with Him during this life on earth!

In this unit, your kids will learn tried-and-true techniques for enjoying a personal "quiet time" with God so they can deepen their friendship with Him. They will also discover how to enjoy the Lord's presence throughout the day and how to call on Him in times of need.

Defining Discipline Policies  
Kidology ForumsKidology Forums member heater518 shares the following:

I am currently working on the discipline portion of our church's policies and procedures. My desire is to show grace to the kids who attend our church, just as Jesus has shown us grace.  So, I have a few questions for you:

  1. What policies do you have in place when a kid becomes disruptive?
  2.  

  3. How do you respond when a behavior becomes a pattern?
  4.  

  5. Do you have any discipline policies in place for kids with special needs, specifically autism and ADD/ADHD? If so, what are they?

You'll gain some great insight on kids, using tools like the Maslow Pyramid to help us better understand their needs. Download the PDF to use as a reference as you go through the process of creating your own policy manual.
