According to Ken Hemphill being a Kingdom Parent means trying to interpret everything through the lens of God's Word. Earlier this month Ken shared for two days on one of my favorite radio programs, FamilyLife Today (hear the programs HERE). "Parenting with Kingdom Purpose" is now very high on my "to buy" list. If you've read it let us know how it is!
FamilyLife has a website full of free resources, free podcasts and stuff we can purchase to build up families that focus on the Lord, grow lasting faith in our kids, and have marriages that model Christ-like living. Take some time to see what they have to offer!

52 Ways to Teach Memory Verses
We have taught our five year old son a number of memory verses from the Bible, and it's a habit that is important to us to continue. Our son will also be starting Awana this year, which also includes a lot of memorizing. Because of that I was excited to find the little book "52 Ways to Teach Memory Verses" from Rainbow Books to give us more ideas to help our kids.
This is an old book, but I'm glad to have one to help us hide God's Word in my kids' hearts. You can order this book from Amazon to look into all these ideas with your kids.

A whole new library at my finger tips!
As of today I am the Director of Children's Ministries at Bear Creek Community Church! I am in my new office today and going through the LIBRARY of resources here. I'm excited to find all the new ideas and will try to share my new favorites with you. If I highlight a resource on here that I found at BCCC it will have the tag "BC3 Library" on the post. If you attend Bear Creek just ask to borrow it!
Just give me a little time to go through things! lol
I am also cleaning out my office at First Covenant Church where I have been the Director of Student Ministries for nearly five years. I'm finding some of my old favorites there as well. My personal books will be tagged "Melanie's library."
