4. Redecorate the kidmin area.

Hit a wall with how to liven up your space? Here are a few helps to get you over the hurdle. We’ve even rounded up ideas to stretch your budget!

3. Get the 2022 VBS songs out of my head. (But learn the 2023 songs!)

Sure, you want kids to have praise songs looping in their brains. But you didn’t count on those earworms sticking around with such staying power. No worries—you’ll be excited for a fresh batch of music. Are you as excited for VBS 2023 as we are?

2. Get to know my volunteers better.

You know they’re the backbone of your program. But sometimes it’s hard to connect. Sunday mornings are busy! Here are great tips for valuing your leaders and accomplishing your children’s ministry resolutions.

1. Pray for the kids in my ministry weekly.

Prayer is one of the most powerful ways to love and guide kids. But too often we’re busy with the details. We’re finding volunteers, rounding up supplies, training the team, attending meetings, and putting out fires. Put prayer back at the heart of ministry! Talking with Jesus about each child will transform every Sunday. Try these ideas to make prayer a regular rhythm in your ministry.

As you make children’s ministry resolutions, know you’re not alone. God’s in this with you. And we’re cheering you on, as well. Here’s to 2023!
