Do you sing Children's songs at your church? No - I mean, in the main service, when everyone's all together?

I'm always amazed how few churches make a real effort to include their children in their main service. Often the kids are in for the first 10 minutes, when they're only really engaged with during the "kids slot", and then they're kicked out to Sunday Club.

Don't get me wrong - the Sunday Club is vital, so that children can be taught the Bible in a way that's relevant for them; but for those few minutes when children are with us in the main meeting, we need to make more effort to include them, and engage with them (as well as everyone else).

There are all sorts of ways of doing this - and one important way is to sing a children's song (or two) as a congregational song, with actions!

It's holiday / vacation time, and you're going to be spending some time driving around with the whole family in the car. Sometimes the kids will be tired and a bit grumpy, other times they'll just get a little bored...

Why not take off your Beatles / Lady Gaga / Pink Floyd CD, and instead put on a CD of some Christian Children's Songs? Change your iThing playlist from "Dad's Faves" to "Kids Fun"!

Within no time your children will know the songs off by heart, and they'll love singing along. And all the time you'll be helping them to know and love our Lord Jesus Christ more.

Ah - of course, that'll only happen if they're decent songs! That's where "Maynard's Groovy Bible Tunes" comes in - OK, the recordings are amateur, but they're pretty good, and the songs are full of great Bible verses and themes.

Have a listen for yourself on the website - you'll find a jukebox-style player where you can try out all the songs, and see the lyrics and actions / motions - www.mgbt.co.uk/jukebox
Hint - listen with your children!

Once you know which ones you like, go to the store, and you can buy them on CDs, or as Album or Individual downloads.

Hope that helps you to enjoy your vacation driving!

When the kids are off school for the vacation / holidays, it's a great opportunity to run a Holiday Club of some sort for them. Knowing Jesus Christ is something that brings joy, so it's quite easy to have a lot of fun when learning about him. Songs, games, craft, drama - we can do all sorts of activities with kids as we share Bible stories and truths with them.

Often we'll use a pre-packaged scheme: a Vacation Bible School, Backyard Bible Club, or Church Holiday Club will use an "off-the-peg" book of plans and ideas. It saves us time, and often brings us ideas that we'd never think of on our own.

BUT: there are pitfalls! Here are some things to think about when adapting a pre-packaged scheme for your situation:
