A group of children’s ministry leaders who serve in churches in Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania and Delaware get together a few times a year to share ideas and learn from each other. If you are interested in joining us for those gatherings, please contact me and I’ll let you know about the next gathering.
Here are the notes from some of our previous gatherings (PDF format). Let me know if you need clarification on anything, since some of it may not make sense out of context.
- Notes from March 9, 2009 – In this gathering we discussed 3 primary topics as a group, and shared ideas within those topics. The topics were Partnering with Parents, Training Leaders, and Volunteers.
- Notes from June 15, 2009 – In this gathering we had discussions in smaller groups surrounding a variety of topics, including Training, Preschool, Creative Environments, Partnering with Parents, Strategy, Large Group, Small Groups, and Communicating Vision.
