If you would like us to keep you up to date with this weekly page (that is, send you the outline of Kids Church activities each two months), simply click on the above link, fill out the form telling us something about your ministry and we will add you to our regular Email list of "Kids Church" activities. This is now on hold for the present moment
Sadly there is limited time for this ministry to be produced for the web.
With the key person moving away it means this section will be on hold.
We are hoping we can resume this web ministry Late February 2009.

JANUARY 25 - Mark 1: 14-20, Jesus calls 4 fishermen –This is also the day before Australia Day so could have this theme added.

FEBRUARY 1 - Mark 1: 21-28 “Man with an evil spirit”
Activity: Create a special pillow case for children’s beds. Children have fear of unknown and the pillow to focus on being a support to them and to stress that God is always with them. Security. Use this pillow/case as a reminder that God is with us all through the
night... and the day... and in our beginnings and in our endings, and all time in between.
1. Place a double sheet of newspaper inside the pillowcase (to prevent the drawing going through to the back). Smooth out the pillowcase and tape it to a table. 2.

These put on an overhead, video projector or large display board. (Get in the statement – “They are very tasteless”). Then cook a second batch, add salt and pass them around. Again ask for questions. . (Get in the statement – “The salt made the difference”). Then the punch line can be made that we as Christians are the salt in the world etc

SEMINARS ON FAMILY & OUTREACH MINISTRY
Interested in having a workshop/seminar to develop....
* An effective "Kid's Church" and "Families" ministry
in your church
* Looking at innovative outreach ways of growing your church
in your area in 2009?
Or
looking at:
1. Why we have problems attracting people to our church?
2. What are some of the innovative things we could be doing?
3. How can we be seen as relevant in the community where we minister?
4. How do we keep people once they start coming?
Then
send an Email to "GrassRoots"
asking for more information
Bookings for 2009 are now being accepted from after Easter. Other pre-Easter dates have been booked out.
Seminar costs are not expensive - Certainly worth exploring further.
