India Missions!

I am leaving for India in just 8 short days...so much to do in those 8 days!  Please keep the team in your prayers, so many of you have donated your time and money into helping with this project, I am just so humbled and grateful for everything you've done!  


For those of you going on a missions trip in the future, just trust God!! I've been on 8 missions trips (India will be 9!), and I can tell you, it's a little nerve wracking sometimes, but God ALWAYS brings the money in.  When you put your trust in Him, He follows through for you.  Thank you all!!

Explaining baptism to kids!

Hello Everyone!

We are having a baptism at Freedom Valley on February 6th!  Only a few short weeks away, so those of you who teach or minister to young children, may get some questions.  You are always welcome to refer them to me, however, I've found some really great information online from other Children's Minister's who have found some awesome ways of explaining it!  Here's the link: http://www.cmconnect.org/forum/topics/explaining-baptism.  This site, called CMConnect.org, has TONS of great information about Kids Ministry on it!  When you are done reading the comments and posts about baptism, please feel free to peruse the rest of the site for valuable tips and insights into the world of teaching children about God!

Thank you all for serving with me!

First and Foremost.

Hello Everyone!

This is a secret blog of sorts...only for my Freedom Valley Kids Staff Members and anyone wanting to learn more!  Kids Ministry is hot right now in the church world, but you may not realize that if you aren't in the loop, so here is your chance to get in!  I will be posting articles and links and notes from conferences, and anything that I've learned from, so that you can learn along with me!

So here's how you can get updates:  First, I'll send the link to a new post to everyone that has an e-mail listed on our CCB site and is a part of our Kids Staff Group.  If you've served in Kids Ministry recently, you should already be a part of this group.  If you don't know if your e-mail is listed, please log onto freedomvalley.org, and click the tiny little sign up button at the bottom of the left and add in on our new online church database!  Second, I'll post links on my facebook and twitter, so search for me on either of those sites, and you can get your updates that way as well.  You can always return to read old posts anytime at ffreedomvalleykids.blogspot.com.

This blog will also be used as a training blog!  From time to time, I may post video trainings or podcasts.  I'll update you every time though, so you won't miss a thing.

Thank you all for doing such a great job with our Freedom Valley Kids!
