Fuel passion for their roles as parents, giving them reasons and practical ideas for the value of family time. Next, provide resources as tools and communicate the <em>how</em> and <em>why</em> of each resource (FamilyTimes Virtue Pack, God Time cards, Refrigerator Door cards, Small Talk, For Heaven’s Sake, HomeWork, etc. See the <a href="https://secure.rethinkgroup.org/store/home.php">reThink Store</a> for these resources.). You could package a month's worth of tools in a cool way (create a custom printed "toolbox" using a Happy Meal box, paper gift bag, folder, or plastic bag).</p> <p>Another way to encourage the dialogue is to set up a section of your web site where parents can share ideas on what’s been helpful to them. If your church website doesn't have space or bandwidth for this, you can set up a blog web site through <a href="http://www.wordpress.com/">Wordpress</a>, <a href="http://www.blogger.com/">Blogger</a>, <a href="http://www.typepad.com/">Typepad</a>, or any other source. </p> http://www.orangeleaders.com/forums/topic/student-ministies-manual#post-42 Thu, 09 Jul 2009 15:56:08 +0000 N8Bristol 42@http://www.orangeleaders.com/forums/ <p>We are wanting to resource our leaders with a Student Ministries Manual where they can recieve guidence and confidence in leading students.

When you subscribe, you'll receive articles, podcasts, and other resources to help develop both ministry leaders and volunteers. You'll also receive instructions and creative ideas for hosting regular volunteer training and appreciation events.</p> <p>Monthly or quarterly events are great ways to encourage your volunteers and show them gratitude for their consistent service. Use these times to update leaders about happenings in your ministry, to address questions, to tell remarkable stories about the children and students in your ministry, and to develop their leadership capacity through short messages and teachings. </p>
