ADOTS Children’s Ministry

CONNECT with other ministry leaders around the country:

Children’s Ministry – The Family Ministry network has a monthly call and a super awesome Slack channel to keep you connected.  Most of these meetings are recorded, so you can go back and browse resources and videos if you are unable to make the Zoom meeting.  Canon Jessica Greiner previously directed this network, and can tell you it will be an incredible way to expand your network, get great ideas, or share your brilliant ideas!  Connect to the slack channel here.  All the information you need is there, including the meeting link and time.

Catechism in Family Prayer – This is a fabulous new ACNA resource that integrates the whole of the Catechism with the Family Devotion format from the Book of Common Prayer. It places our common prayer and our common teaching in the most influential space for a young person: the home.

This devotional was designed by the Student Leadership Network to be used in the home by families as they prepare for confirmation and continue their formational life, but can be used by any family at any time.  Catechesis in Family Prayer will be complete by May 2022, but you can download and use the first five months.

GOD’S BIG STORY – A gospel driven, Christ-centered children’s curriculum that is perfect for any Anglican children’s ministry setting.  Lots of ADOTS leaders are using this resource, so we encourage you to check it out.  Lesson samples are available for little ones, age 2 all the way through grade 6.  Browse their website for more information and to download samples. If you wold like more information, you may contact Canon Jessica Greiner or you may contact the Author – Penny Love directly vie email.
