Summer 2012 Movies
Summer brings with it a large variety of movie releases targeted at children. Have you been keeping up with the animated films that have been hitting the multiplexes?

Kidology is here to help with 3 reviews on the biggest kid films of the summer. Don't forget that all Kidology movie reviews feature children's ministry-oriented teaching tools such as an overview, areas of concern, teachable themes with scripture, and discussion questions.

Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted
"... entertaining for the whole family with its dry and physical slap stick humor... Primary themes are "doing the impossible" and "showing determination."

 

Brave
"... So often the change we are looking for is not in other people, but rather on the inside of us... reflecting on our sinfulness, our pride. Repenting is the beginning of real change."

 

Ice Age 4: Continental Drift
"... showcases that these characters are friends... really an ad hoc family. Family reigns supreme, so does loyalty and self sacrifice... lots of action, plenty of laughs and a heartwarming message."

Plate-Spinning Management
Spinning Plates The fine art of "plate spinning" is a sort of a juggling act where you keep as many plates spinning as you can on top of sticks or poles.

If a plate stops spinning, it will fall and break, so you have to visit each plate as it slows and speed it up again. The more plates you have, the more frantically you must dash from plate to plate to plate to keep them all spinning.

But at what point do you let one plate in your ministry stop in order to add another one?
