Don't throw away that coffee can! If you're short on cash you can still score high on creativity! Using everyday objects most of us have lying around or ready for garbage pickup, Tina Houser shows us imaginative ways to make great children's storytelling props, activities, games and classroom décor that reinforce Bible stories. As Tina says, "When we lack the resources others have because of low finances or little vision for children's ministry, there is a tendency to believe we can t do BIG things and FUN things with kids. Nonsense! Don t look at what other churches have and feel defeated. Don t let a lack of funds and resources inflict its negativity on your creativity!" "Have you ever seen small children at Christmas after they ve opened all the presents? If there s a big box left in the midst of the toys, more than likely they ll find themselves inside it or under it. The box...the garbage...the junk is what they find most intriguing. "So, I invite you to join me in ministering to children by using some objects others might call junk, but you and I can put to good use as resources." Let's get creative!

It's Not Junk, It's Resources!

The story of Jesus' death and resurrection is not ONE simple story! Tina Houser provides Sunday school teachers, children s pastors and children s workers with elements to make each part of Jesus' last week come alive for kids! This book includes: Nineteen stories that occurred during Easter Holy Week. Four more stories that occurred before Christ's Ascension. Games, crafts, snacks, science experiments, storytelling ideas and/or object lessons to help teach the stories. Two outreach activities to use during the Easter season that will encourage parents and grandparents who do not attend church regularly to include worship as part of their Easter celebration. Tina says, "We can't allow the Truth to fall under the shadow of a giant rabbit costume." She shows us in this book how "to enjoy both the celebration of our culture and still keep our eyes fixed on Jesus." "Celebrate everything Jesus went through that week, so when Easter Sunday arrives, your kids are ready to pull out all the stops and rejoice that...Jesus is alive!"

Scripture memorization is a holy habit that has huge benefits for every believer! Then, why don t we do more of it? There are several reasons. We ve never really become convinced of its value. The routine has never been established. It feels too BIG. And, we just don t know the techniques of memorizing that make it easier. When we do memorize scripture, we usually get it into our short-term memory, but never move it to long-term memory. This book offers help and encouragement to get started, or to get back into the habit. It is divided into three main sections: Part 1 gives 14 keys to memorization, including why we memorize scripture and methods of memorization Part 2 includes games and activities for exploring the Scriptures, reviewing passages, recalling Scriptures, and reviewing multiple verses. Part 3 provides an outline, along with lesson plans, for an intensive six-week program where you memorize large portions of scripture. Whether you re leading the children at church in scripture memorization, doing it as a personal discipline, or including it as part of family worship, the games, outlines, lesson plans, memorization techniques, and ways to explore the passage to gain understanding are all packaged in this one-of-a-kind resource.
