This volume provides over 300 inventive, hands-on activities that involve children in service to one another, their churches and local communities, and the world. Within these pages, children's workers and leaders will find short and long-term active service/learning opportunities that encourage the youngest members of their congregation to follow Jesus' example of living their faith by caring for others. The book features: lively, age-appropriate projects and activities for 3- to 5-year-olds, 6- to 9-year-olds, and 10- to 12-year-olds; guidance for working with children of different ages and abilities; ready-to-use reproducible pages and a Scripture and topic index; and contact information for numerous national and international service organizations and programs that work with and relate to children.
A family-faith crisis is occurring in church-going families. Often church leaders are perplexed about the best way for their congregation to care for the families within their midst and community. Nurturing Faith in Families offers 425 creative ideas that pastors, teachers, and other leaders can use to help families grow spiritually and feel more connected to the church.
Many churches already involve parents and families, but most are falling short. Many focus on their inability to get parents and families involved, often failing to build on the strengths they already have to meet families' needs. The Roehlkepartains take a broader approach to family ministry. Based on recent research, their book challenges pastors and other church leaders to expand their vision, become proactive in meeting the needs of families, and help the church be a place where parents and their children can grow. The authors provide key research findings, true stories, quizzes, checklists, and practical tools that congregations can use to become more effective. Even the most experienced pastor and church leader will find new ways to strengthen their families--and their churches.
Ideal for children's ministry, children's church, and child-care programs, these new games give young children a faith foundation in ways that are fun and exciting. Original.
