PREFACE It
is over 100 years in the future. There is One government.
There is One church. And finally, after centuries of turmoil,
the world is finally free of the one religion that caused
all the problems... the Christians are no more. Truth has
been traded in for prosperity. But there is a Remnant. They
walk among us. They wield a great power. And slowly the tide
of history is being drawn toward its ultimate conclusion.
Indeed, Truth has not been eliminated, only purified and focused.
These are the Chronicles of the Remnant.

THE
KIDOLOGIST HITS THE ROAD Pastor
Karl Bastian and his wife Sara are currently on a 3500+ mile
trip across the United States to visit churches, see family,
and experience some of God's most beautiful creations! It's
all part of a 6-week sabbatical from his church ministry. And
you can follow along!
GOD,
CHILDREN, AND CREATIVITY "I've
been wrestling with the thought of just how God, children,
and creativity fit together," writes CP Team member JediKindergartner
in the Network Forums. "Now as children's pastors, I think there's
an instinctual creative drive and/or sets of disciplined creative
habits within all of us..."
SUPER
POWER ACADEMY The
Super Power Academy Kid's Church Unit is now available
in the Kidology Store. This 10-lesson series introduces children
to the Fruit of the Spirit. Written by the Kidologist and Pam
Helt, it's helpful in sharing the attributes that should be
in a life in which Christ lives.
CHANGING
CHURCHES What
is the best way to tell kids that you are leaving their church?
This is a question being asked by awalker in the Kidology
Network Forums. "I always want the kids to hear it from me before
they hear it from someone else," suggests another Forums member.

make bricks and build me a pyramid!"
WEEKLY
POLL: TIME OFF Not
everyone can drive across the country on a sabbattical (*cough*
Pastor Karl *cough*). Does your ministry give you any time
off to recoop, recharge, and take a break? How is that accomplished?
If not, how do you keep your edge and avoid burnout?
