The Latest and the Greatest! ... Really?

Seems every day there is something "new" in the Kidmin world vying for your attention and money. While I celebrate the advancement of children's ministry... and with it the rapid increase in resources, events, and services to help us reach and teach kids... it can also be overwhelming to the leader who is just trying to get ready for the fast-approaching Sunday!

New has its appeal, but there are times when the stable and proven should be preferred over the latest fad that pops up.

Kidology.org has been steadily and affordably helping children's ministry leaders and volunteers for over twenty years. Our vast collection of helpful tools and resources are tried and proven. When it comes to coaching, we don't offer large webinars or impersonal conference calls. Our coaches meet one on one with their students weekly, customizing the material to fit their real-world church challenges and journey with them toward success.

There is always something new on Kidology.org, and it becomes part of our 20+ year collection of tools that keeps growing so we can help you in your time of need.

Don't see what you need? Let us know! We have a team standing by to help.

On Halloween

Every Halloween it’s the same silly thing.

People getting annoyed with the gore. The focus on death. The devil. The blood. And you know, I’m not a huge fan of all that stuff either. In fact I’m kind of a basket case with it, to the point I don’t even watch commercials for scary movies. So totally not my thing. But as I sat in my van tonight listening to Christmas music while watching Glenn and the boys knock on my parents’ neighbor’s doors, I was struck by something.

This is the only night of the entire year that most of your neighbors and mine are going to come knocking on our doors. The only night.

And what is the typical Christian response to this?
