Children's Ministry
Welcome to the Children's Ministry Webpage!
We are committed to providing assistance to congregations. The Children's Ministry Committee meets regularly to plan annual events. Below, please find published articles networking several congregations in the Michigan District, as well as the Children's Ministry Committee's Newsletter, "Fish Hook."
What's Happening in Children's Ministry? Several events are being sponsored by the LCMS in 2010 and 2011. The National Conference for District Early Childhood Consultants will be held in Phoenix, Arizona in February. A Children's Ministry Workshop will be held August 12-13 at Trinity Lutheran Church in Wausau, Wisconsin. The 2011 National Christ-Children-Community Conference will be held July 7-10, 2011 at St. John's Lutheran Church in Orange, California.

Concordia Publishing House (CPH) has launched a new VBS website for summer 2011 program, Big Jungle Adventure. This site includes a wealth of new features designed to assist those planning to host VBS programs. Visit the new website at www.cph.org/vbs.
Beat fall boredom with www.jcplayzone.com. Along with games, craft ideas, music, and recipes, the internet site now features daily devotions for kids. Each devotion includes a short story, Bible verse, and prayer. A companion website, www.jcparentzone, offers access to relevant information on parenting from a Christian prespective. Articles and spiritual answers to questions are updated regularly. These websites are resources from Lutheran Hour Ministries, www.lhm.org.
