RELEVANT CHILDREN'S MINISTRY

The best kid's services are both crazy and calm.  In other words, an effective kid's service will have both high-energy and low-energy elements.  This helps you avoid "monotone" which is the culprit behind a boring kid's service.

Here are some of the service elements you want to be CRAZY: 
Opening
Games
High-energy worship songs

Here are some of the service elements you want to be CALM:
Offering
Meditative worship songs
Prayer
Hands on activities
Lesson
Discussions
Parent pick-up

These elements can vary between the two:
Icebreakers
Skits
Video
Bible verse memory

Place these elements strategically and you will hold kid's attention.  You can see more about planning a strategic service flow by clicking here.

Our friends at High Voltage Kid's Ministry have released a brand new curriculum series called "Help!  Calling on God in Times of Trouble."

It contains six lessons that teach children how to call on God in times of trouble.  It includes high impact video segments, graphic slides, a Bible lesson with graphics, games, skits, object lessons, and more.  It also includes small group lessons and family devotions to reinforce the large group lesson.

What sets High Voltage Kid's Ministry apart is the fact they are kid's Pastors in a local church who create and produce their own videos, object lessons, graphics, illustrations, skits, and more - then package and release what they use every Sunday to help your ministry.

I also like the balance they bring between live teaching and media elements.  The media does not replace the leader, but gives him or her the tools needed to enhance the lesson.

Over 5,000 churches world-wide have tried High Voltage Kid's Ministry resources. Now here's your opportunity to try it for free.  

I'm giving away a copy of the new series.  To enter the drawing email me at dalehudsoncm2@gmail.com.  I will post the winner here next Monday, Sept. 23.
