"Pure and lasting religion in the sight of God our Father means that we must care for orphans and widows in their troubles....." (from James 1:27, NLT)
THIS is REAL "children's ministry" -- adoption...a beautiful picture of what God has done for us through Christ, a living illustration of God's grace!
Blessings to my friends Brian and Melanie, & their son Walker, upon the adoption of their newest little blessing: Graham Thomas.
Graham, may you grow to know and love and serve Jesus as your forever family diligently SHOWS and TELLS you of His goodness and love!

Children are a Heritage from the Lord
"We will not hide these truths from our children but will tell the next generation about the glorious deeds of the LORD. We will tell of his power and the mighty miracles he did....so the next generation might know them-- even the children not yet born-- that they in turn might teach their children. So each generation can set its hope anew on God, remembering his glorious miracles and obeying his commands." Psalm 78:4, 6-7
Start Splinking!
Children are a Heritage from the Lord
What is Show & Tell Children's Ministry?
Show & Tell is a Christian Children's ministry, primarily for families with preschoolers and young children...that is heavily driven by the following principal:
While Biblically-solid, fun, and high-quality activities for children in local churches are wonderful blessings, the MOST EFFECTIVE strategy for ministry to young children, so that what they learn "sticks" and truly develops them as disciples of Jesus Christ, IS ...to thoroughly EQUIP and ENCOURAGE those children's parents to SHOW & to TELL them of God's Truth, God's Love, and God's Wonders within the context of day-to-day living....
But isn't that BRAINWASHING? OF COURSE! But--IF WE DON'T, WHO WILL? The computer? The T.V.? The school? Their peers? Pop culture?
So...Show & Tell those little blessings about our wonderful LORD...when you rise up, when you lie down, when you go on a trip, when you come in, when you go out, when you work, when you play.....ALL DAY!
