A good week?

Hi everyone,

Thanks to those who were able to make it to our first training session on Tuesday night. I welcome your feedback on this session!

To help you keep thinking through you might like to read this artice which adds another perspective on communicating so that kids understand and are changed.

Perhaps this is good opportunity for me to offer another prize to anyone who can find a helpful link and action point for us all, between this article and our session on Tuesday night.

Also, don't forget to pay particular attention this week to the language your kids use and ask those clarifying questions to see what assumed knowledge/language is present in your classes & lessons. This is an exciting opportunity for growing effectiveness & I look forward to hearing your thoughts about it when we reflect together next Tues night!

Hope you all have a wonderful week this week & I'll see you Sunday. We'll pray together at 8.50am in the Lower Lounge.

God Bless,
Lou

Latest Children's Ministry Magazine

Here is the online version of the latest Children's Ministry Magazine. I highly recommend you have a look through this. I always find many useful ideas in here. Some things particularly to look at are:

- the age & idea finder. This page will show you what's in the magazine that relates to different age groups.

- the age specific sections:
* ages 3 to 5
* ages 6 to 9
* ages 10 to 12

- the teacher telegram - ideas for you!


Because I really think this magazine is a helpful tool for you I am going to add a fun element here. I am going to give a prize (a cool prize) to the person who can tell me 3 things that they learn by looking in this magazine.

Get cracking & post you replies so I can give you a cool prize!!
