Kids Vision Network August Meeting


We had another great network time together on Thursday 29th August at the Baldivis Church. Thanks Danny for hosting us and for Julie for the great lunch and cookies!

One of the outcomes of our dicussions was that we are going to review the timing of network get-togethers. We recognise that few of us are availble to meet during the day and so we would love to hear from you if a night meeting would make it easier for you to attend. Network gatherings are for anyone involved in leading and serving in a kids related ministry area in a church, school or outreach setting. They provide a terrific opportunity to be encouraged and resourced in ministry. Email Tania if you agree that a night meeting once per term would suit you better.

Julie and Kylie from Warnbro shared their shopping exploits from the Kidshaper Conference in Melbourne last week. They recommend:


  • The new DVD packs from Planetkids. These are sensational all-in-one ministry materials for Australian kids. Rob Bradbury and his team are committed to working together as ONE church to reach kids. The "4" DVD sets have fun, generic branding which means that they will fit into any church setting (in other words, they are not branded as Planetkids products). Check out http://www.planetshakers.com/ for details. Thanks Rob for your Kingdom heart!

  • Andrew Shepherd has written a book called "Honey I Shrunk the Kids Ministry!". Andrew is Children's Pastor at Crossways Baptist in Melbourne. Take a look at Crossways Kids @ http://www.crossway.org.au/. The book doesn't seem to be available as yet - so keep your eyes open.

  • Have you seen the series of books for preschoolers called "Lost Sheep"? These excellent books are now available in GIANT size and also come in a story telling kit. Take a look at http://www.lostsheep.com.au/.
