Follow God’s Plan for Your Life

Follow God’s Plan for Your Life

By grlinn

Needed: 3-legged unassembled night stand, old shirt
For a long time, I have needed a night stand to go next to my bed so I bought one of these all purpose, easy-to-assemble tables. Here’s the top and here are the 3 legs. (Show top.) It’s just the right size because I needed space for a lamp and a clock. All I have to do is screw each leg into one of these brackets–just like this. (Put 2 of the legs on the table.) » I want to read more! »

Using the Olympic Games to Teach Spiritual Truths

Using the Olympic Games to Teach Spiritual Truths

By CMIV

Using the Olympic Games is a creative way to teach powerful spiritual truths from the Bible to your Sunday School and Children’s Church groups!

There are many scriptures which lend well to developing full Sunday School lesson and Children’s Church services along the theme of doing your best, finishing the race, etc…

Have you ever considered using Biblical Characters themselves as examples of Olympic-type competitors?  How about Elijah, the greatest cross-country runner ever? » I want to read more! »

Called

Called

By tdomf_b2b4a

This is great before an alter call – nothing fancy, or wordy…just simple.

Need 5-7 men with the last man dressed to represent Jesus. Need 1 child.

Stage-line men facing audience with Jesus last one on right child enters at left.

Children’s Ministry Christmas Drama

Children’s Ministry Christmas Drama

By tdomf_b2b4a

Thought about how I could do something different that the adults could minister to the children and then also involve the children. I feel like the Lord is leading me in the following:

(Stage is dark and the narrator reads the following)
In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world. And everyone went to their own town to register.
So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. 5 He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them.

Scripture Verse on a balloon

Scripture Verse on a balloon

By tdomf_b2b4a

This helps children remember there verse for the week. Put one word (or 2 if small words) on each balloon after it is blown up. Read it a couple times from the balloons and then have one volunteer pop a balloon. Try to say the verse with the word missing. Continue until all the balloons are popped and they can repeat the verse. Safety note: Use a lady’s pierced earring to pop balloons. It is not to sharp, but it will pop the balloon.

I believe verse memorization is very important for our kids.

How Many Clowns? Gospel Lesson

How Many Clowns? Gospel Lesson

By CMIV

Over a century ago, Sam Loyd designed one of the most popular and magical puzzles ever created-more than ten million copies were produced! This genuine puzzle masterpiece is called “Get Off the Earth” and features a posse of sword-wielding Chinese warriors. I was inspired to re-imagine Sam’s puzzle with an added gospel flavor and had been tinkering around with this for over a year. Then, one day, my daughter Christy suggested using clowns. Viola! Finally, my version called “How Many Clowns?” was created. This picture shows how I have adapted the puzzle into a simple tract or craft project for children which they can cut out and assemble. » I want to read more! »
