This is great for a Sunday School project on palm Sunday.
What you’ll need:
Need a piece of palm, used traditionally during Palm Sunday service. I found this pattern in a craft book and wanted to share it with everyone!
As I’ve been looking up verses on love as I prepare to get married next weekend, I came across this story in Luke 7:36-47. Do you know it?
Jesus is invited to the Pharisee, Simons’ house. He is making his way to the banquet table, and has just sitting down at the table to eat. When a woman, who was a known sinner in the city, enters the room behind him, and begins weeping. Suddenly, the air is permeated with a heavenly aroma! The woman had broken her precious alabaster box at the feet of Jesus. People are starting to notice her, whispering one to another. “What is she doing?” “Why is she bothering the Master?”
People stand up and take notice about where they drop their kids off. How are your classroom/nursery conditions? Have you ever thought about giving your classrooms a little boost this Spring?
- Toy Clean Up - Clean out all the toys used by the kids in the nurserys and sunday school rooms. Those puzzles with missing pieces and torn up books can be a bad testimony of your church. Old doesn’t mean bad, unless its broken.
Online vs Desktop | Series 2
Before, we’ve talked about Online vs Desktop: Office Solutions. Today I’d like to discuss the little social media that could. Twitter. I wouldn’t consider myself a “social media guru” or even a Twitter “power user”, but I do enjoy tweeting on a daily basis.
Let’s be honest, Twitter’s home site is not exactly conducive for heavy use, and they know that. There weren’t many options at the beginning, but now there are several applications to choose from. Twitter is a great way to keep you, your ministry, or church connected to those interested. First question to ask yourself though is, “Do I want an online or desktop Twitter app?”
It’s easily the most famous prayer ever spoken, but when was the last time you contemplated the Lord’s prayer?We’ve said it so very often, yet what does it all mean? Here’s a breakdown of it all.
Matthew 6:9-13
Our Father
This speaks of the brotherhood that exists among Christians. It reinforces the need for communal worship. There are no Lone Ranger Christians. (Or at least there aren’t supposed to be)
The Monday Morning High Five
Continuing our list of all things 5 to hopefully bring a smile to your Monday.
There are a few drinks that the Christian community collectively smiles upon: Coffee and Orange Drink.
I like to eat SpaghettiO’s cold. I don’t know why, but I just prefer them cold. I take heat for this whenever anyone sees me eating them. Some say “eewww grosss!” like they were a third grader watching someone eat a worm, but I’m sure you have that one food that you enjoy that most others would not.
So it is with Orange Drink: The generic, orange flavored drink that is served in Sunday School classes, VBS snacks, and church socials around the country.
Many would say that Orange Drink is gross, but in my own opinion, it’s pretty awesome. However, it’s kind of like manna, it is only good for one day, and shouldn’t be taken home.
Here’s Five Reasons Why Churches Continually Buy Orange Drink
Get the Word Out:
- 4 weeks before: Post it in your bulletin, online and in the local news paper.
- 3 weeks before: Send out mailers to houses near your church.
- 2 weeks before: Send home flyers with your Sunday School kids.
- 1 week before: Follow up on RSVPs.
- Sunday before: Post it around the church, information area, bulletin board, on your overhead projector before the service begins.
- Day of: Advertise on your church sign.

Many hands make light work and depending on the turn out you will have, you may need a lot of help!
What if when Peter went to meet Christ on the water, and when he jumped out of the boat, it didn’t work. *Splash*
When I was in jr. high, I remember making the proclamation that I had never been rejected by a girl. This was said in a bragging type manner, but if inquired beyond the initial statement, you would find the opposite side of the story: I never asked a girl out either.
