A TIME FOR GIVING THANKS
Here at Kidology.org we are so thankful for YOU! It is mind numbing to grasp the impact that each of you are having on the lives of children every week. Keep up the great work and have an extra slice of turkey on us!
November is a really good time to strategically and intentionally take some time to say thanks to the people in your life you are grateful for. Click here for some ideas and tips on how to say thanks in a meaningful way and perhaps you can make this month extra special to some people in your life.
And if you'd like to say thank you to Kidology.org for all those times you came here and got just what you needed, please consider a small gift via our "This One's On Me" donation drive. We need your support and look forward to launching future enhancements with your help. Every small gift makes a significant difference in our ability to equip and encourage YOU in your children's ministry. Thank you!
Because
Jesus Loves Children,
Karl D. Bastian - a.k.a. "The Kidologist"

ARE YOU HEADING TO CPC?
 It's time for the annual Children's Pastors' Conference hosted by the folks at INCM. CPC events take place in Nashville (January 5-8) and San Diego (February 4-7). If you haven't registered yet, what are you waiting for?
"CPC is the best!" enthusiastically exclaims Karl Bastian, the Kidologist. "I go to a lot of conferences, but none provide access to a wide variety of resources, the breadth of training, and the opportunity to network like CPC does.
Many events serve many purposes, but I've not missed one of the last 35 CPCs and that's because I view them as essential for networking and keeping on top of the trends in children's ministry, both in ideas and resources."

| KIDOLOGY REPORT: DEATH BY MEETING
"Author Patrick Lencioni captures the feelings of thousands of people in the simple title of his book, Death by Meeting," explains Kidology CP Team member Marty Martin.
"Most of us have been there, walking away from a meeting with a big headache and feeling like you just wasted 1, 2, 3, or even 4 hours of your life. You even dread going to the meeting, and it shows because you are always late. Of course, so is everyone else!"
"Why is this book important to you? Because meetings can be great times of vision casting, idea sharing, and momentum changing. Let me suggest reading this book and taking 2 or maybe 3 ideas he shares to make your meetings better. Then, evaluate with your team to see if your meetings are more effective and beneficial to the ministry as a whole."
