In It's about Relationships, you'll learn:

  • How to connect with kids by thinking like kids
  • The HUGE difference between why you do kid's ministry and why people volunteer
  • Practical ways to make kids feel welcomed and special
  • How to make time in your week to build relationships

A Dad's Gotta Do What A Dad's Gotta Do
 

For parents and children alike, many of the fondest “school days” memories revolve around a bustling morning routine that began with a hurried breakfast, followed by loading backpacks, and culminating in the drive to school. A Dad’s Gotta Do What a Dad’s Gotta Do is the story of one seemingly ordinary dad who makes a certain Monday morning drive to school anything but ordinary for his two boys.

In this beautifully illustrated book created for kids to read with their parents, author Mark Jones presents the amusing and easy-to-understand narrative of a father’s unconditional love for his children. Kids will giggle with delight, and parents are sure to be inspired to find their own special way to shout their love for their children, as they sit down together to read A Dad’s Gotta Do What a Dad’s Gotta Do.

Adopted! Single Lesson
 

Adopted! is a SINGLE LESSON by Karl Bastian, exploring Bible characters that were adopted, from Moses to Jesus. This self-contained lesson is ideal for teaching on Mother's Day, Father's Day, or anytime you'd like to illustrate adoption as a picture of salvation.

 

The theme of this lesson is based on Ephesians 1:5: "His unchanging plan has always been to adopt us into His own family by bringing us to Himself through Jesus Christ. And this gave Him great pleasure."

Kids will learn that the adoption offers protection, provides for the needs of a person, and shows that they have a divine purpose. Every believer has been spiritually adopted into the Family of God for the same reasons. Every Christian is Adopted!
