Because He First Loved Us

February 9, 2010 – 9:26 am

We love because he first loved us.
Short. To the point. Powerful in its simplicity. First John 4:19 is all that and more. I call attention to this verse as I work with my kindergarten students and as I talk with my own children each year whenever we focus on Valentine’s Day.
Looking around at the flowers, [...]

Christ the Savior Is Born!

December 21, 2009 – 2:13 pm

I would like to share that I ordered the “Christ the Savior Is Born!” party packs with nativity craft kit to use with my kindergarten class and with my 8-year-old son and 4-year-old granddaughter. What a big hit they were!
The kits were easy to assemble and the children loved the experience of “creating” their own nativity set, [...]

Looking for a Preschool Christmas Event?

November 16, 2009 – 11:07 am

Five years ago our preschool was looking for a way host a Christmas celebration for our families. We decide on an Advent Worship and Cookie Reception. We’ve made it an annual event. The service offers an opportunity for even our non-member families to gather in a casual, non-threatening environment to celebrate the Savior’s birth.
CTA has helped make [...]

Sunday Giveaways

September 16, 2009 – 10:26 pm

After church on Sunday I was part of the giveaway team. A group of us handed out a special remembrance to everyone as they passed by. People loved them! Many will hold on to their meaningful gifts for years to come. (Then again, some will sell them on eBay to make a [...]

A Step Down

Simple Steps to Thank Those Who Serve

June 30, 2009 – 12:01 am

If your church or Christian school is anything like most others around the nation, volunteer effort makes all the difference. We could never, ever afford to hire people to do the things our volunteers do with such excellence and joy year in and year out.
Most of them would do what they do, even if no one [...]

Serving in His Steps

May 21, 2009 – 2:03 pm

Graduation is barely over. VBS is about to begin. Everyone on your ministry team is scrambling to implement the great ideas you’ve been collecting for Summer Sunday school or the youth mission trip in July.
I know you’re not ready to think about Fall just yet or about welcoming new workers to the paid staff or [...]

Mother’s Day/Father’s Day–100 Years of Love (Part 3 of 3)

April 7, 2009 – 9:04 am

As I noted in part 1 of this series, Spring, 2009, arguably marks the 100th anniversary of both Mother’s Day and Father’s Day—at least as we know them! Both began as grassroots movements initiated by daughters who wanted to honor their parents. Both holidays followed a zig-zag path to nation-wide acceptance. But 1909 was a [...]

Teach me!

March 13, 2009 – 7:30 am

One of the things I have to remind myself of regularly regarding CTA’s great teaching resources and products is that teaching goes well beyond the Christian school. Sunday School teachers, small group teachers, VBS teachers, Bible Class teachers – please forgive me! You’re all included (and appreciated)! I come from a long [...]
