Not to mention the parents themselves. I had an issue this very weekend that I chose to handle differently to avoid a possible confrontation with a quite scary looking fellow. His kids are awesome... his wife is awesome... I realized I needed to b...
Another specific issue we face is retaliation. An older sibling or cousin is always there to retaliate when something happens. I find myself spending a lot of time talking through situations with kids and they are downright surprised that I actual...
I think it's illegal to burn cd's and distribute them. Maybe buy the kids some cheap mp3 players and fill them up with purchased music... and invite them to share the music during their day.
I focus a ton on making sure they stay humble. Kids with responsibility can quickly turn into kids with power over other kids... and I haven't found a single kid yet who can handle that properly without guidance and direction.
I basically do a lo...

I do these things called Jumps in my services… always have. Since I stared using the High Voltage Kids Ministry Curriculum I’ve been creating custom Jumps and wanted to share them.

Score Keeper 2 Is My Best Friend
I recently had the honor of working with KidzTurn Labs (and by working, I mean emailing and nagging) in influencing the creation of some awesome score keeping software called Score Keeper 2.
If you keep score for teams (boys vs girls or Team 1,… Continue

- Yep...Dan is the man! I asked GW3 if we could do more networking at future meetings. So I'm hoping to get to know the other CPs better. I went to a networking group at Pleasant Valley Baptist today and it was great! I got some great ideas. I'll be at your church this weekend for JBQ. Have a great day!

I gotta run and pick up a daughter from school, but I'll talk to you more at your cm monthly site.

- James,
It's Doug again...
I had one last question I just thought of.
You mentioned the 'jumps' you use in your children's church program.
I looked at a couple of the video jumps you had and they were so fast! I am not sure of the timing of a jump. Is it something that the kids already know about and when it shows up on the screen they immediately respond? Does it happen in about ten seconds then it's over? Sorry if I'm running too many questions at you, but I am hearing some great ideas and I'm just trying to get a handle on some of them.
thanks again,

- James,
I also had a question about videos.
I think I had followed some links from your site and found some really cool kid videos. I think they were on Youtube. Are those available for download to use in church? Do they have a cost?
