A Holy Week Invitation for Kidmin Leaders

If you serve in children's ministry, there's a good chance Holy Week looks a little different for you than most of the world. You're thinking about volunteer schedules, cleaning up from Easter events, printing parent resources, gathering supplies, and running through the Easter Sunday morning plan in your head. Don't get me wrong; all of those details matter. Doing ministry with excellence is part of loving the families we serve. But sometimes we spend so much time preparing the Easter story for others that we forget to sit in its truth and power ourselves. So here is a small Holy Week invitation just for you, kidmin leader: Before you send the next email or check off the next thing on your to-do list, take two quiet minutes and read Matthew 28:5–6 slowly: “Do not be afraid… He is not here; He has risen, just as He said.” The women...

Building a VBS Team Without Begging for Help

I've always said that trying to do ministry alone is like trying to play on a seesaw by yourself, and leading VBS is no different. Recruiting VBS volunteers might be the most stressful part of the entire week, and it happens months before VBS even starts. The good news is VBS recruiting does not have to feel like chasing people down hallways. (And if you want more support and tools for general volunteer recruitment, don't miss this.) Here are 3 ways to build your VBS team without begging for help: Start Early - If your VBS is in June or July, recruiting starts in January and February, especially with key leaders. Begin with conversations with people already invested in your ministry and invite them into the extra fun of VBS. Then write down everything that has to happen and every role required to make it happen. Identify key leaders like...

3 Questions to Shape Your Easter Sunday Lesson (And Make it More Effective)

On Easter, we have the privilege of teaching kids a central moment in the story of the gospel. Last week, we shared 20 creative ways to teach the Easter story to kids, but if you're having trouble deciding how you want to engage kids in the story of Easter this year, ask 3 simple questions to help bring clarity to your teaching: What do you want kids to think? What do you want kids to feel? What do you want kids to do? Answering these questions ahead of time helps you teach with intention, and it can help you invite kids to experience and apply the gospel, not just hear it. What Do You Want Kids to THINK? Easter is a story kids hear every year, but it’s more than a story to remember. It’s a truth to understand.
