 Planning for Ministry With Children
- Week of the Young Child - April 22-28, 2007
- Faith Development of Children
- Physical Growth of Children
When we teach Sunday school or vacation Bible school, lead small groups of children, or work in child care, it is important that we realize the physical capabilities and needs of children. This short summary highlights some of what we know happens as children grow and develop.
- Celebrate Life's "Firsts"
- Churches Can Be Advocates for Children
As think tanks, foundations, community groups, bishops, and child advocates search for ways to raise children out of poverty, integrate them into a caring community, and provide stability and purpose to their lives, we in the church carry a special responsibility to "make our family get bigger." Here are ways some churches can be
advocates for children
- Create Surrogate-Grandparent Experiences
- Helping Children and Youth Develop Good Giving Habits
- Nurture Children With Divorced Parents
While divorce continues to plague about half of the families in our nation, churches of all sizes need to nurture affected children and youth.
- Nurturing Children in the Christian Faith at Home
- Parenting Children With Disabilities: What the Local Church Can Do
From asthma and diabetes to developmental delays and everything in between, physical and mental challenges of children with disabilities push parents to face constant change. The parents' lifestyles and the way they spend their time and money must change quickly.

Selecting Bibles for Elementary Children
- When a Child is Poor . . .
Your congregation started a daycare or opened an afterschool program or opened your Sunday school to children from low-income families. Great. Now how do you make the children feel welcome and meet their needs without making them feel like conspicuous "objects" of your middle-class mission?
- When Children Are Absent
Your Sunday school class probably includes at least one child who is regularly absent from Sunday school.
Look carefully at attendance patterns. Why don't some students attend? Don't make assumptions.
