Craft for Father's Day: Fun Sticks 
Father's Day Craft
Here's a craft you can use for Father's Day.  Shared by Nicki Straza, Kidology's Kidmin Pros Team Leader, it's an activity that features some great teaching elements!

For example, we can honor our fathers by:

    1.    Being Thankful
    2.    Being Helpful
    3.    Being Obedient
    4.    Being Generous
    5.    Being Affectionate
    6.    Being Encouraging
    7.    Being a Good Listener

To illustrate each of these, you'll need tongue depressors (7 per child), cup or can or flower pot for each child, colored sand or small pebbles, decorating items or paint.

Got all that together?  Let's make Father's Day Fun Sticks!

Unit 21 of DiscipleTown curriculum is HERE!  
"How to Be Jesus' Disciple"What does it mean to be a disciple of Jesus? How to Be Jesus' Disciple unit, the latest DiscipleTown Kid's Church curriculum from Karl Bastian and DiscipleLand, helps young followers of Jesus experience victory in their Christian walk.

We spend a great deal of time in ministry doing a great many wonderful things - reaching, teaching, and training kids for Jesus. However, Jesus gave just one primary command when He returned to heaven: "Go and make disciples."

This unit introduces children to five basic principles for having P-O-W-E-R to follow Christ in their faith: Praying from the heart, Obeying the Holy Spirit, Worshiping with the Church, Explaining their faith to others, and Reading their Bibles daily.

Yes, children can experience profound P-O-W-E-R in their walk with God when they begin to apply these life-changing disciplines!

Have kids in your ministry seen Epic?
Rise of the Guardians"Epic is a grand tale in miniaturized scale," notes Kidology Kidmin Pro Glen Woods in his review of this recent animated feature.

"If we are willing to look past any shortcomings in its storytelling execution and look deeper at the themes of reconciliation and belonging in our shared world, Epic just might jolt our collective jaded cultural selfishness."

"It might even prompt us to let go of our hurt and become reconciled to others from whom we have become estranged in our lives."

As with all Kidology movie reviews, we provide children's ministry-oriented teaching tools such as an overview, areas of concern, and teachable themes with scripture.
