Something to think about...

In a world that races faster and faster toward new apps, technology, and ways to stay “connected and informed”, I’m changing course.

This has been on my heart recently. I hope you are encouraged by it.

I just recently listened to a speaker say that, beginning now, our online presence is MORE IMPORTANT than our physical presence. *Sigh*

Hey KidMin Connect friends!

Here at Grace Community Fellowship, we have been updating our nurseries, and last week had a sale of lots of nursery/toddler toys, furniture, books and more.

We've decided to open it up to you as leaders for FREE. We just want to be a blessing to you and your ministries. Not all of the items in the pictures are available, but most are.

If you would like to stop by this week (Mon-Thurs), please send an email or text to Josh Doebler at [email protected].

One Hope is hosting the Community-Wide Worship Night on Monday, May 18 from 7-8. And it's all ONLINE! 🙌

https://onehopenetwork.org/worship

Here are some tips on the best way to invite your families and their kids to join us as we worship and pray together online.
➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖
✅ Prepare: Gather everything you need before the service starts (Bibles, journals, and our coloring sheet) Tell your kids what you're participating in - worship and prayer with lots of Jesus-followers from lots of churches in our city. Tell them God wants to hear their prayers as we pray together.

🖨️ Print: Coloring sheet. We've created a coloring sheet themed with the prayer points. No printer? No problem! Have your kids draw and write their prayer on.

📵 Put Aside: Take a break from distractions like phones, pets and snacks.

🙏 Pray: As a household, welcome the Lord's presence and ask the Holy Spirit to help you worship and pray in faith.

🎶 Participate: Model worship for your kids by singing, praying, and opening God’s Word.

🙏 Pray: When you're invited to pray as a family, give space for your kids to pray too!

✅ Remind everyone that the Church is God’s family— a group of people who love and trust Jesus— not a building or buildings.

❓Ask your kids what their favorite part was!

Hey fellow Kid's Pastors!
I want to let you know I don't have all the answers, but I'm willing to help in anyway I can.

Some conversations in ministry are harder than others. But when someone your kids look up to comes to the conclusion that it's all a lie/myth, how do you navigate that without shutting it down completely?

Matt Markins does a great job of breaking that down. Be sure to check it out.

My kids love Rhett & Link's Ear Biscuits podcast, but a recent episode where the hosts deconstruct their faith really rocked their worlds. How should youth leaders respond when these things happen?
