Kids Ministry at The Branch
This document provides the motivation for children's ministry at The Branch church. It discusses the importance of ministry to children as they are developing beliefs and behaviors before age 13. While the church only has 40 hours per year with each child, parents have 3000 hours of influence. The document outlines four goals for children's ministry: 1) Get their attention by presenting the Bible in a relevant way, 2) Teach kids the Bible, 3) Show kids they belong through small groups and leaders, 4) Empower parents to be spiritual leaders and connect with other families.

- Church leaders are addressing how to transition churches from being internally focused to being missionally focused on reaching out to their communities. This involves helping congregations overcome fears about loss of traditions and embrace a more outward orientation.
- Effective strategies discussed include describing what it means to live missionally in everyday life, creating safe spaces for questions, and working across denominations. Leaders emphasize the importance of communicating the gospel in a way that is both culturally relevant and countercultural.
- Transitioning churches sustainably to a missional focus requires managing expectations, moving beyond talk to concrete action in the community, and viewing those outside the church as part of the same community.

In Memory of Alan Dean 1958 - 2021
No one vision is sufficient in and of itself – visions can guide but only by collaborative action in a creative generative process can visions grow and become part of an ongoing positive sociocultural reality.
Without taking into account the many worldviews that currently co-exist and crafting ways of including them in a positive and healthy form we will continue to alienate vast sections of all communities and humankind.

Children's Spirituality
The document discusses children's spirituality, critiquing common views and highlighting research findings. It notes that spirituality is often suppressed as children age and that children have psychological capacities like sensitivity and openness that support spiritual life. Examples from interviews with children show spiritual experiences can be profound but also erratic. The document argues for nurturing children's natural spiritual capacities through practices like providing space, process, imagination, relationships and trust.
Encouraging giving
This document provides resources for encouraging giving among children and young people. It includes learning resources that use the Exodus story to explore issues of poverty, money, and possessions. It also lists several Christian development agencies that offer specific resources for children and families who want to give to charitable causes in Latin America and around the world. For young people, it suggests sessions and Bible studies available online that use active learning to explore Christian stewardship, as well as a book containing creative sessions on spirituality including one on giving.
Children and giving
This document provides principles and strategies for engaging children and young people in stewardship. It discusses that young people are often financially dependent but may have increasing independence. It emphasizes that giving should not feel like legalism, and young people need ownership over donated money. Strategies include giving youth groups money to allocate, having families discuss giving together, and setting up envelope donations for individuals. The overall goal is for young people to experience Christian generosity through community involvement and feedback on how donations are used.
Dramas for creation time
There are several reasons:
1. Population growth. More people means more demand for water.
2. Pollution. Industry and agriculture are polluting water sources with chemicals and waste.
3. Overuse. Groundwater is being pumped out faster than it can be replenished. Rivers are
being drained dry.
4. Climate change. Changing weather patterns mean less rainfall in some places and more
flooding in others.
5. Lack of infrastructure. Many developing countries do not have proper sanitation or
sewage treatment.
6. Mismanagement. Water is wasted and not conserved or recycled as it could be.
So in summary, the main causes are human activities like
Lego nativity
Mary was engaged to Joseph and living in Nazareth when the angel Gabriel told her she would have a son named Jesus. Joseph was also told this in a dream and agreed to marry Mary. They traveled to Bethlehem for the census and Mary gave birth to Jesus in a stable, laying him in a manger as there was no room at the inn. Shepherds in the fields were visited by angels announcing Jesus' birth and went to see the baby with Mary and Joseph. Wise men from the east followed a star to bring gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh to the infant Jesus.
Ice breakers
The document appears to be a worksheet for an icebreaker activity called "Getting to Know You." It contains 20 prompts for students to find other students who fit certain descriptions and have them sign their sheet. The prompts cover topics like shared initials, place of birth, hobbies, favorite subjects, and other personal details. The goal is for students to collect as many signatures as possible to learn more about their classmates.
