Being Childlike, Not Childish     

We get into kids ministry because we love kids and relate well with them.  But often this can lead to being misunderstood by adults - even alienating us from the relationships we need with our peers.  

 

In the latest episode of Kidmin Talk, I talk about how we can balance being childlike without appearing childish.   

 

Tune in for tips on connecting with adults while being immersed in the world of kids!

Mid-Week Guarding!
Here's a great game you can use for your midweek programs!
Guard Your Heart
Guard Your Heart
is an object lesson game that can be used for Valentine's Day or any teaching situation that features Proverbs 4:23 - "Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life."

The object of this game is to guard your own paper heart while trying to capture others.

However, as revealed at the end of the game, the winner is not the player with the most captured hearts. Rather, the winners are those who still retain their own heart, no matter how many they have captured!
