Summer is Right Around the Corner!
I know, everyone is thinking harvest, Thansgiving and Christmas right now.  But, summer is the most popular time of year for events in Children's Ministry, so if you need a speaker for a camp, VBS alternative or Kid's Crusade, now is the time to be thinking about it and getting it on your church calendar as well as finding that speaker!  In fact, we have several ministries who are totally booked for the summer of 2010.  Go to http://www.forhiskidz.com/ministries.asp  to see...

Volunteers are a vital part of any children's ministry.  I know I depended on mine when I was on staff as a children's ministry director.  I was always looking for ways I could show my appreciation and I wanted to pass on a great appreciation idea/ Christmas gift  that you can give your workers.  
You can purchase a bulk subscription to K! Magazine and give each of your workers a gift that will bless them throughout the coming year.     ...

To all of Uncle Charlie's friends, fans and prayer warriors across the country & beyond
 
It has been exactly one month since the day when Uncle Charlie nearly lost his life in a high speed head on collision in southern Oklahoma.  We have been told time and time again what a miracle it is that Uncle Charlie was able to survive. The more we learn of the details of the accident, the more we all realize how blessed and fortunate we...

Dear Ministry Friends,
I'm writing to ask for your prayers for Charlie Bancroft, Uncle Charlie.  Charlie was involved in an automobile accident in OK late yesterday afternoon and is in the ICU in  Oklahoma City in stable condition.
He has three broken bones in his arm and they had to perform surgery last night.  He also has several fractured ribs and a fractured sternum.  We are thanking God that  He was protecting  Charlie because this was a very serious accident.  We know that God...

Volunteers, recruiting them and keeping them is a year round concern for those in children's ministry. Here are some tips to ponder as you plan for the coming year:
First of all, PRAY. God knows in advance just what you need in the way of help and whom you need.  He called you to your position and He wants to equip you to do the job He called you to do. 
Creatively promote the children's ministry in a positive, upbeat way that will...

Dear Ministry Friends,
If you're looking for a BIG outreach event for familes that will provide fun with a purpose, this is it!  Uncle Charlie and Rachel Sanchez are among the most sought-after kids worship leaders in the country!  Keith Coast is a widely known illusionist, balloonist, kids “evangetainer”, and all around crazy dude!  Put them together on one stage and you've got
Family Night of Fun, entertainment, music and worship
for kids and big kids at heart!
If you have never experienced...

The area of children’s worship is growing and so is the demand for quality worship leaders for camps and other special events.  The reason? Our children need the opportunity to connect with their heavenly Father through music. They need to understand (much like many adults) that there is a difference between singing and praise and worship. And once they catch on, we as adults can learn from them!
 
Music also is a medium that can be used effectively to teach kids almost anything. You know yourself...
