Kidmin

Singing out

You didn't see me around the church the weekend for a reason, I was out of town. I was attending a conference in Chicago called Kidmin and I was highly affected by it. First off let me say this, children's ministry workers are some of the kindest most passionate people working in the kingdom. They love God and kids in a way that could inspire the rest of your congregation if they could just see it in action.

Me in a cape

Kidmin was put on by Group Publishing. I say that because often I am skeptical of vendors. If you have spent any time in youth or children's ministry you have received the glossy post cards peddling this or that. This weekend I got to look into the hearts of the people who make this stuff, and there is the fingerprints of Jesus all over them. They love my kids almost as much as I do.

I am excited for next year to invite my volunteers to join me in Columbus to experience what I got to experience first hand. In the mean time I am inspired to pray for my fellow worker. Those of you know the power of God and the sensation of finger paint. Those who have sat on chairs so small your knees ache so you might have the opportunity to tell kids the best news ever told, emmanuel, God is with us.  

More on this one later...
