Greetings in the name of our Lord and
Savior Jesus Christ. If you are like me, you are probably tired of
forking out a lot of money for curriculum that is
just not worth it !!! I know that many of you have good
ideas and quality programs, but you need some
new
and fresh ideas to use every once in a while. God has put on
my heart to write down some of the best ideas we have had in the past 15
years, to pass them on to others. Jesus said, "Freely ye have received,
freely give", and being the God didn't charge us for the ideas He gave,
we aren't going to charge, but give to others what He has given to us.
We also suggest, and ask that you come
up with your own names in the place of the names you will find on the following
pages. This will allow for your Children's Church to be unique,
and fitted to your own personalities and characters. If every church had
a puppet with the same name, yet they all looked and sounded different,
this would seem strange to a child who might visit your church on one particular
Sunday.
"Fishers of Kids" is a non-denominational
ministry. The curriculum is evangelical, with its lessons on the
principles of Christianity: Salvation through Christ, Living a Christian
life, Faith in God, Love, Forgiveness, Reading the Bible, Prayer, Witnessing,
a two month period on the Ten Commandments, and more.
The curriculum is a children's church format
designed for kindergarten through the sixth grades. The skits were
written for the same age group, but we have often modified them and used
them for Jr. and Sr. High Youth group skits.
If you have enjoyed this curriculum, please
feel free to duplicate it and give
it to others. This ministry's purpose is to get kids to Jesus, and
to get the words of Jesus to the kids. Also, if you have any ideas
you would like to share, please send them in, and we gladly will pass them
on.
Peter says in II Peter 1:12-15 that he
continually put the people in remembrance of God's truths even though they
already knew them and were established in those truths, so that when he
would go on to be with the Lord, the people would have those truths firmly
and deeply rooted in their minds. In the same way, we in the Children's
Ministry need to continually put our kids in remembrance of Jesus and His
truths, even though they think they
know it all and are established in those truths, so that when they leave
our Sunday School, they will always have these truths firmly and deeply
rooted in them, and be able to stand strong in the faith of their Lord
and Savior Jesus Christ.
If you have found this curriculum helpful,
or if you haven't, please email us and let us know what you think. Your
opinion is not only desired, but needed. clunky@fishersofkids.com
Now, God bless you as you minister unto
God's children.
Love,
