How We Know Santa Was Once a Children's Pastor

OK, lets be honest. Santa Claus has a little bit too much in common with a children’s pastor. Coincidence? I don’t think so. It seems clear he use to be a Children’s Pastor. Think about these similarities.

• His office is hard to find.
• He is fashion challenged.
• He assumes any and all snacks he finds are his to eat.
• He has no adult workers.
• He is only seen on rare occasions.
• No one seems to know who he reports to.
• He laughs way too much.
• He is nobody’s definition of a physical specimen.
• He is always trying crazy stunts like climbing down a chimney.
• No one seems to know what he does during the week.
• He does an impossible job with no visible means of support.
• Kids love him.

Make November a Month of Thanks

Bonus: Here are some snack and craft ideas to celebrate this season of Thankfulness! http://www.pinterest.com/tonykummer/thanksgiving-crafts-and-snacks/

 

 

With November right around the corner, the holiday season is quickly approaching!  Here’s a fun idea to help your family remember the blessings that have come your way during the month we set aside to be thankful.

Beginning November 1^st and going through Thanksgiving Day, have each member of your family write what he or she is thankful for on a piece of paper and place it in a special bowl or container.

 We use a bowl that was given to us as a gift that has the word ‘blessing’ written in different languages on it.  Don’t tell the others in your family what you have written down.  If you have younger children, mom or dad may have to help write down what the child is thankful for.  Even children as young as two and three year olds can participate in this activity.  On Thanksgiving Day, take out the pieces of paper you have collected during the month and read them aloud as you celebrate the day set aside for us to be thankful.

The things you write down don’t always have to be serious.  One year my son said he was thankful for his fish; other times he said he was thankful for his family members.  By the end of the month, you begin to think of things that you may not think of on a daily basis to be thankful for!  It is always fun to read what each person has written as you gather around on Thanksgiving Day.

We do this with just our immediate family, but you could also involve your extended family and use it as a way to celebrate when you get together for your big Thanksgiving meal.

This is just one of the small things my husband, sons and I do to celebrate Thanksgiving each year.  I’d love to hear how your family makes Thanksgiving special, too!

Addressing Sibling Conflict

When kids fight it's best to work with them separately because each child needs a specific plan for dealing with the other. Furthermore, trying to train them at the same time often results in resistance or even allowing kids to gang up on you, hindering the process.

Here are some other ideas for addressing sibling conflict that you might find helpful.

Parenting Rules for Addressing Sibling Conflict

1) Remain calm.
Don't add your emotion to the existing drama (Most important Rule)

2) Separate kids.
or they feed on each other's explanations.

3) Don't dialogue with a child who is emotionally overwhelmed.
It usually escalates the problem.

4) Require a break to help a child settle down.
Calm the heart before trying to teach it.

5) Empathize with the child's challenge.
(Yes, I understand, your sister can be annoying.)

6) Ask, "What did you do wrong?"
or "What did you do that contributed to the problem?"

7) Define the challenge more clearly.
"So, when your sister was being annoying, you didn't know how best to handle it so you hit her. Is that right?"

8) Validate the child's thinking and identify the mistake.
"I see you were upset and wanted to do something about it. But hitting her wasn't the best choice."

9) Explore other options with a coaching attitude.
"What better response might you try next time?" "You can do the right thing. I believe in you."

10) Affirm and release.
"Okay, let's try again, I think you can make a better choice next time."

Remember, offended kids generally have three choices: Ignore, Confront, or Get Help. Kids need skills that will help them with all three. You're the coach providing solutions not just rebukes.

How Do You Add Value to Others?

And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease about the people. ~ Matthew 4:23



When people think about you, do they say to themselves, "My life is better because of that person"? Their response probably answers the question of whether you are adding value to them. To succeed personally, you must try to help others. That's why Zig Ziglar says, "You can get everything in life you want if you help enough other people get what they want." How do you do that? How can you turn your focus from yourself and start adding value to others? You can do it by:

1. Putting others first in your thinking.
2. Finding out what others need.
3. Meeting that need with excellence and generosity.

Around Freedom, we have 2 phrases that speak well to this "living for the other person's good" and "find a need and fill it, find a hurt and heal it."

What can you do to add value to someone you know?

10 Cultural Forces that are Dying and will Affect Children's Ministry

Here are 10 cultural forces that are dying.  Some of these are trying to stay alive, but their death is imminent.  These changes normally do not happen overnight, but over the course of several years.

And yes, they do affect your children's ministry because they are key indicators of cultural shifts.  These shifts affect the way we communicate with and reach out to kids and families.

NETWORK NEWS

Between 2002 and 2008, consumption of online news sources increased by one hundred percent, while broadcast network news has steadily declined.
  

MAGAZINES

Print magazines are on the edge of extinction.  Even the most popular magazines are down double digit percentage points.  That's because the content provided by magazines is now available to anyone with an Internet connection.

DIGITAL CAMERAS

Digital cameras are being replaced by phone cameras.  I recently talked to a picture developer and she told me the vast majority of pictures being printed professionally are from phone cameras.

PHYSICAL MEDIA

In the foreseeable future, all media will be digital.  Streaming will continue to replace DVD, Blue Ray, and CD.

NEWSPAPERS

Newspaper circulation is rapidly dropping as more and more people go online for news.

Newspaper ads generate 20 billion dollars a year compared to 70 billion ten years ago.  Google now pulls in more ad revenue than all US newspapers combined.  Newspapers will soon be a thing of the past.

TELEVISION

Televisions as monitors are not going anywhere.  Large flat screens still continue to sell quickly.  But the methods of receiving programming on television monitors is changing.

Companies like Netflix and Hulu are all pointing broadcast networks toward a new business model—one that does not require scheduled programming.

People no longer have to adhere to a network's programming schedule to get the content they want.  With on demand streaming, scheduled programming is losing ground each passing year.

LAND LINE PHONES

Cell phone usage has risen every year since they became available.  This has resulted in a large percentage of people dropping their land line altogether.

In 2012, the number of households with no land line was in the majority for the first time ever.   Many kids today have never used a phone that was not wireless.

DRIVE-IN THEATERS

At the height of their popularity in the 1950's, there were over 4,000 drive-in theaters in the U.S.  Today, only 366 remain.

CATALOGS

While there are still plenty of print catalogs still in circulation - their numbers are dwindling just as quickly as online catalogs proliferate.

All of the largest retailers have made the move to online, and the vast majority of print catalogs still in existence cater to niche markets, and even those serve largely as conduits to orders placed online.

VIDEO STORES

With movies available online, the days of the physical video store are numbered.  Blockbuster had over 3,000 stores 5 years ago.  Today less than 500 remain.

6 Benefits of Serving in the Greenhouse

First of all, you’re joining a FAMILY.  You’re going to find you develop friendships with the people you serve with.  You’ll laugh together, share prayer requests, support each other, pray for each other and encourage each other.

You see, we weren’t meant to do the Christian life alone…and serving in Children's Ministry means you will be surrounded by friends who will walk with you on your journey.  You’re gaining a family.

You’re also getting ready to be a part of FUN.  Yep…that’s right.  Fun.  And lots of it.  No matter your age…there’s still a little kid inside you who wants to have fun.  And now that you’re a part of the Children's Ministry team…you can let that little kid out and have fun.  Laugh…smile…enjoy yourself.  Have a good time!

Another benefit of serving in Children's Ministry is FAITH.  You’re going to find your faith growing.  You see, serving is a key component of growing your faith.  So get ready to see your spiritual growth accelerate as you begin serving.

There’s something else you’re going to be part of by joining the team…and that’s a FOCUS.  We are focused on one thing – impacting our world with the love and message of Jesus Christ…everyone...everyday...everywhere.

This is WHY you will be serving.  This is why you will be holding babies in the nursery while worshipping with them, this is why you will be helping preschoolers get excited about hearing a message from the Bible in a creative way, this is why you will be greeting new kids and families, this is why you will be leading a small group of kids, this is why you will be running a computer presentation or sound board, this is why you will be high-fiving kids as they leave asking them the main point they learned, this is why you will be helping families check in, this is why you will be leading kids in worship, this is why you will be sharing a Bible story, this is why you will be helping keep the kids safe.

It’s so they can be impacted by the love and message of Jesus Christ…so they can discover the hope that's found in Him.  This is the focus of the team you are joining.  It’s a focus that’s worth giving your best to.

You’re also going to experience FULLNESS of joy.  There is a joy that comes from serving others.  It’s a deep, abiding joy that comes from knowing God is using your life to help other people.  You’re going to discover it truly is more joyful to give than to receive.  As you give yourself away...your joy will be full.

And finally…you are going to be a part of FRUIT.  The Bible tells us as Christians we are to bear fruit.  By fruit, it means helping other people come to Christ.  And boy did you pick a great place to bear fruit.

Did you know that 85% of people who come to Christ do so before the age of 18.  I believe the heart of a child is the most fertile soil in which to plant the Word of God.  Studies show children learn more in their early years than at any other time in life.

You’re going to see spiritual fruit. You’re going to see kids step across the line of faith and become lifelong followers of Christ.  You’re going to see kids immediately grab hold of what you share and begin to live it out.

And not only will you see the fruit now…but later as well as your ministry continues to bear fruit in their lives as they grow up.

So get ready to experience family…fun...your faith growing…a focus that matters…fullness of joy…and lots of fruit.

We're ready for you to jump in and try serving today.
Let's partner together to make a difference,
Pastor Tiffany
