Emerging Children's Ministry

A place to discuss and encourage those involved in ministry to kids in an emerging/postmodern setting. Or... a place for those interested in the emerging church and ministry in a 21st century context. It's a conversation...

"The church's ministry to children is broken. A cursory look doesn't reveal its brokenness. From the outside children's ministry looks healthier than ever. But it is broken. ... And perhaps most importantly, it's broken when the church tells parents that its programs can spiritually nurture their children better than they can."

Can anyone recommend resources to help me start a family or youth missional
group geared toward growing 12 year old boys into passionate lovers of
the living Christ in the world? My son is losing interest in church, sunday school,
and youth groups locally that are pretty standard.

Hey gang. I don't know if this is the right forum for this, but I thought I'd give it a shot anyway. I'm looking for a music video for my children's worship. The song I'm looking for is called "Give me a J". If any of you know of where I can find that song, I'd appreciate it if you'd let me know. You can also email me at tnballoonguy@gmail.com. God bless.

help! Children's Pastor needs help! I am wanting to make countdowns for my sunday morning super church. I have the video's but cannot find a countdown clock program or software that i can make these on. Has anyone made their own countdown with video in the background?

Mary,
Thank you for your ministry over the years. Although I agree with the need for new and innovative songs, I still use your music with our Early Childhood Ministry. May the Lord Bless you as you continue to minister to kids through your music.
Mary Rice Hopkins Comment by Mary Rice Hopkins on September 18, 2008 at 1:41pm
We need new tools and new approaches to reach today's children. That is why I write new and innovative songs and continue to teach the Bible through song. I also like to partner with other ministries and help kids who are going through tough choices. I am looking forward to hearing more here.
Blessings,
Mary Rice Hopkins

I work with postmodern children, specifically...they are a new generation that require a different approach in raising, loving and ministering. I can answer questions or give you ideas on how to minister to these kids.

The threats of society, the breakdown of the family system---all of these things contribute to their behaviors and they way they think.

I'm happy to serve however I can!
