Comments for More Than Babysitting http://jeffmcclung.com Children's Ministry That Makes a Difference Wed, 15 Feb 2012 22:28:17 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ Comment on 10 Commitments of a Kidmin That’s More Than Babysitting, Pt 1 by David Wilson (@davidwrites) http://jeffmcclung.com/2012/02/14/10-commitments-of-a-kidmin-thats-more-than-babysitting-pt-1/#comment-687 Wed, 15 Feb 2012 22:28:17 +0000 http://jeffmcclung.com/?p=4755#comment-687 Good list! I feel good now because our kids’ ministry has an equal balance of male/female volunteers! This has meant that we can do the hyper macho parts of the program and the more girly sensitive parts, and do them both well! We’re still struggling with involving parents, particularly in engaging their interest in the first place.

I’m surprised that “Don’t Beg for help” made it into the top ten! Not that I’m suggesting we should, but I do believe that most people’s talents can be used in children’s ministry, and there’s not always a big pool of volunteers to choose from! I guess the trick is motivating and retaining volunteers once you get them!

I love Point#3, and have worked for 5 years at my current church to transition away from special events being the “be all to end all” things they’ve been!

And just because you don’t know someone now doesn’t mean they won’t walk into your church on Sunday or Wednesday. I had a similar reminder: http://www.growingkidsministry.com/my-thoughts/you-never-know-whos-watching-you/ last year!

What really got me to take action this year in eating healthy and exercising was last October, went to a conference in Las Vegas. Of course taking photos is expected. After seeing those photos of myself, had no idea how big I’d really got and that was my turning point.

Keep up the great work!
