After Christmas Blues Song
This song is sung to the tune of Don Fransico's "He's Alive" - it is a spoof - you sing it seriously, but it is actually very funny, especially if you introduce it as a song the Lord laid on your heart last night as you reflected on Christmas being over. |

Spread the Word
The purpose of this game is two-fold. First, to visualize the need to work together to spread the Gospel (the Good News) as far as possible. Secondly, in a surprise twist to illustrate how often in our zeal to reach people far away, we miss those right next to us! |

God is Your Spotter
You start with little weights and move up to big weights. The same is true in our spiritual life. If we aren’t even attempting little things for God, He will never be able to use us for anything great. |

Saying THANKS
It's never too late to say thanks. "It's time to dig out those thank you cards," writes Pastor Karl Bastian, the Kidologist. "You better 'make your list, and check it twice' - because if you forget someone, it won't be nice!" |
