A step-by-step guide to building a strong children's ministry that is a vital part of the church. People know they are called to children's ministry when they get goose bumps and butterflies from something a kid says or an idea that they know will communicate the gospel to children. Building Children's Ministry provides the practical information to transform those feelings and that calling into a successful children's ministry that is integrated into the life of the congregation. The book is divided into topical chapters, including:
<ul>
<li>Getting the support of the pastor and the congregation</li>
<li>Statements of purpose</li>
<li>Budgets and fundraising</li>
<li>Recruiting and keeping volunteers</li>
<li>Safety and security</li>
<li>Discipline and appropriate policies</li>
<li>Choosing and evaluating curriculum</li>
<li>Publicity</li>
</ul>
Building Children's Ministry is a practical guide through the challenging (but exciting) steps between recognizing the need for children's ministry and creating a program that ministers to children and their families.

In Ephesians 6:10-18 we see a description of the armor of God, but most of us remember it only through verse 17. We talk about the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, the shoes of peace, the shield of faith, and the helmet of salvation. But, verse 18 tells us about our Secret Weapon-prayer! It encourages us to have this weapon with us at all times and on every occasion. This is the weapon that clobbers the enemy and leaves him wondering what in the world hit him. In the pages of this book you'll find lots of ways for kids to use their Secret Weapon. They are intended to tap into a variety of multiple intelligences so that kids can experience fervent prayer and understand the potential of their Secret Weapon.

Holiday Extravaganza highlights 15 holidays, most of which are not traditionally centered around the Word of God. But, even holidays that find their roots outside of Christian beliefs can be redeemed! Jesus used the things of the world to convey His message, and we can follow that example by taking these celebrations and giving them a new focus. 
This book will provide you ideas and activities to share with your kids that incorporate the celebration, but direct them to the Scriptures. April Fool s Day can be a time to talk about Proverbs, what God considers wise and what He considers foolish. Earth Day becomes a time when we learn about bearing fruit in every season and that God is the One to honor on this day. Teach your kids at Halloween how God restores dry bones and gives them life! You ll find multiple ways of connecting scripture to each of the 15 holidays included.
