• Bridges to Nowhere?
Bridging Insights We have used the word bridge in the church as a verb—“to bridge someone to Christ.” It has become our culturally polite way of describing how we help a person who is in the process to becoming a Christian, without offending them. It appears to give the option of delay—the urgency is […]
• A Busload for Heaven
By Jessica Klinker About 12 years ago, during my first year as a Children’s Director, we were celebrating our AWANA Pinewood Derby. I was still nervous speaking in front of adults (actually, I still am). I asked our AWANA missionary to give our devotion for this night. I waited and waited, the Derby had started […]
• Living the Kidmin Legacy

• Twelve Flannel-Graph Tips
Twelve Flannel-Graph Tips I do recognize that with all the technology that is available today for teaching children, that Flannel-Graph seems to be relegated to “old school.” However, you must take notice that the use of Flannel-Graph in many parts of the world is quite new. When you consider that many children’s leaders overseas would […]
• Next Generation Partnership
Partners for the Next Generation Recently, our church sponsored a Photo Contest. However, the photo submitted had to answer the question: What do I love about my Church? After a lengthy process, I concluded, “I love my church because it has been willing to partner with me to influence the next generation of the […]
• Lead Children to Jesus
Teachers: Lead Children to Jesus The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, and he who wins souls is wise. Prov. 11: 30 The greatest joy of teaching children is watching them put their faith in Christ. The hope of each generation remains in the children. The Scripture makes it really clear that […]
