We Want to Send You a FREE Christmas Bible Bingo!

Today I posted my first Kidmin Talk podcast that was recorded LIVE via Facebook Live. The topic was All About Christmas – creative ideas, curriculum and games that explore the true meaning of Christmas. It was a lot of fun and I plan to do it again. ( Vote on the best day of the week for you!)

While I hope the podcast provides you with some great ideas for celebrating Christmas – I’d like to hear YOUR Christmas ideas so we can share them with the Kidology Community. Submit Your Christmas Idea and we’ll send you a FREE copy of Christmas Bible Bingo as a way to say, “Thanks!”

How are you going to make Christmas Awesome this year?

Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.
I Thessalonians 5:18

You might even be thinking, I don’t know the first thing about church security; I’m no safety expert, and I wouldn’t even know where to begin. The good news is there are likely people in your congregation that are experts in church safety & protection and are happy to help if asked.

So where do you begin if your church doesn’t have a security team? Here are six things you can do to get the conversation started and build momentum for starting a team.
