Kids Ministry Survival Kit

There is no doubt that you can spell ministry W-O-R-K. Because of that fact, sometimes it is necessary to have some little reminders of why we do what we do. I shared the following survival kit with the Service Team Leaders here at Valley Family Church to help them remember the value they are. Jesus loved children and we do too, so lets remember to give them our best. I actually give people each one of the items and a bag to make their survival kit. I hope you enjoy.
