Let me keep it pretty simple: I like reading children’s ministry blogs. Why? Because it gives me insight into the worlds of children’s pastors, from all over the world! I get a chance to see how a children’s pastor in a church of 100 thinks… and how a children’s pastor in a church of 20,000 thinks. At times I laugh with them, and I also cry with them. I get encouraged and I gain ideas and insight. Sometimes I disagree and I decide whether or not comment. I love the fact that blogs – from ministry people allows the rest of us to see your philosophy in ministry.
If you are a children’s minister, and you blog – thanks! If you are a children’s minister and you don’t blog, consider it. It won’t cost you anything but some time to tell us all what you are doing, what you think, share good news, bad news and ugly news. It would equip, encourage and amaze the rest of us.
Great post! I feel the same way. In some ways I get from blogging what I used to from the CM magazines/publications. The only downside… readers don’t comment nearly enough. Being a blogger who really enjoys getting feedback/discussion, I try to intentionally comment on most of the blogs I read.
Kenny – Good point and a great mandate for all of us out here who either blog, read blogs or both. Let’s step up the commets and get discussion going. I agree – appreciate the feedback. Thanks Kenny!
Hey! How about putting up some links to other children’s ministry blogs? That would be cool!
Thanks!
Mr D

I just now came across this blog entry of yours and decided to do something about it. I started a blog. Now let’s see if I can keep it going.
Keep writing the great stuff!
