Change is a beautiful thing!
I love change. I would say that I love change more than most people…. especially in ministry. I’m not talking about a complete overhaul, (although sometimes it is necessary, and I love it!) but I’m talking about tweaks here and there that will bring life to an area that seems to be overlooked or challenging.

Are you new to kids ministry or looking for ways to learn how to be a more effective leader?
This is what I have learned over the last 22 years in kids ministry:
I have used What's in the Bible videos in kids ministry for years. It has been and still is one of my TOP 5 KIDS MINISTRY RESOURCES! Phil Vischer and his team have done a super job creating a product that teaches the Bible in a fun way that kids (and grown-ups) never forget :)
How have I used these videos in kids ministry?
It happened last Sunday morning in Trinity Kids, ages 3-9 years old. We had just talked about this Bible Story: Jesus blesses the children. Then we talked about how important all the kids must be to God. We talked about the fact that God sees them all.

I'm so excited to share this resource with you! I first heard about this book at the GROW Leader Conference at Church of the Highlands in July. My great friend, Beverly, knew I wanted it.... and she surprised me with it during the conference! Isn't she a great friend?
In January 2003, I was diagnosed with adult-onset epilepsy, I was told I would have it for the rest of my life. It was horrible news for me, my family & my friends. This was a really big problem. It was huge like a mountain! We felt scared, sad, and we cried... a lot!
