looking back to look forward to 2017 vbs

No Comments

this week is the week we reveal dawson’s 2017 kidlife theme. while we have been working behind the scenes for months, our vbs leadership team will hear the theme and daily truths for the first time. before coming to dawson i thought i never wanted to write and craft my own vbs. why would i, there are so many great vbs publishers out there? here it is a tradition, as is calling vbs “kidlife”, and while it has challenged and stretched me, i have to say i love formulating a plan and theme for our culture and community.

so before we dive in to this year’s theme (which so excites me because the 1st-5th grade daily themes are based on the Gospel project’s, the gospel God’s plan for me) i thought i would look back to my 3 biggest takeaways from last year’s vbs.

  1. staff involvement – i serve with an amazing staff and i was blown away by all the ways they made our 2016 kidlife a greater experience for all the kids that came. (i blogged about that here and here.) we want to make sure to build on that concept from last year, so we brainstormed this year’s theme with staff back in december. i am thrilled about some fun things we have up our sleeves for them. (some of them don’t have a clue what is coming for them, but they are amazing servants that jump in and become a part of kidlife.)
  2. the mascot – we love champ and our friendly lion was a great addition to kidlife 2016. from the very moment the kids stepped on our property, champ was there with a high five, a hug or some bling.  we can’t wait to take champ to the next level this year since he already has so many friends. last year he was an athlete at the kidlife olympics, this year he has another important job.
  3. intentional Gospel and visitor follow-up – before our kidlife week ever begins we have written, copied and ready to mail letter for guests, kids that want to know more about what it means to become a Christian, and kids that give their life to Christ. we want to build the bridge from the week of vbs to their home. i also love how our ministerial staff are on call each day to be paired up to talk with a child that wants to know what it means to be a Christian. i am a big fan of one-on-one conversation (out in the open of course) with children ready to make this decision. we want to make sure they understand the truth and we are there to guide them through this important time. our ministerial staff also take time to go meet and email the parents of each child that doesn’t mark a church home on their registration form. it excites me to know that new families not only hear from the kidmin staff, but also another minister ready to help them with any questions.

recipe for family worship – #kidminsummit

2 Comments

i was so excited to be invited back to a great event my friend nate holder puts on for his association each year – the etowah baptist association kidmin and stumin summit. one of my breakouts for this year is on family worship. below are my notes for this workshop.

before you think this post is all about adding another worship service or event to your already busy kidmin calendar, think again. as we explore this topic i am going to ask three things of you:

  • think out of the box. family worship doesn’t just have to be a time of worship with families.
  • how can you apply these principles to events/program you already have in place in your ministry?
  • quality verses quantity – families are busy. make sure the times you plan areprayed through and well crafted. offer less that is better than a whole lot of more. 

now i believe in simple steps so i can focus on what is most important – Jesus. so this is my checklist, or recipe if you will, for family worship experience.

after i shared the recipe we experienced this model in six different activities.

[tabs slidertype=”top tabs”] [tabcontainer] [tabtext]Creator play-dough[/tabtext] [tabtext]sin stinks[/tabtext] [tabtext]salvation stairs[/tabtext] [tabtext]sin isn’t a secret[/tabtext] [tabtext]heaven blocks[/tabtext] [tabtext]God’s Word and me[/tabtext] [/tabcontainer] [tabcontent]

read colossians 1:16-17 God created everything. God is in charge. God is Holy and the boss of us. give families a jar of play-dough. allow them to decide what they should make with their play-dough. as the families shape their play-dough, pretend the play-dough is speaking to you and says it is not happy with the shapes they have decided and it wants to be something else. give them another shape to form. say the play-dough wants to change shapes several more times. (you will hear the groans.) families discuss: should the play-dough decide what it should be made into? how is this like us trying to tell our Creator what to do? families take home the play-dough.
read romans 3:23. share that we can’t ignore sin. ask who is hungry for a snack. bring out very burned popcorn and share it with the class. (remember smell is a great sense to make an impact.) tell the families you are going to just pretend the popcorn isn’t burnt and they should just eat it. after they look at you strangely, explain that you will just pick off all the burned parts and surely they will eat it. of course, no one wants the popcorn. you can’t pretend it isn’t burnt. discuss as families: how is this sin like our bag of popcorn? families take a snack bag of popcorn home.
romans 3:23 and romans 6:23 go to a stairwell and get all the children to stand at the bottom of the stairs and the parents stand at the top. ask one of the dads to play the part of Jesus in this experience. turn tot he children and ask what is separating them from Jesus. (the stairs) explain the the stairs are hot, hot lava. the kids can’t touch the stairs, the rail, the walls, or leave the stairwell. ask them how they will get to Jesus. allow kids to think of fun ways. (i.e. try to fly, try to jump, etc.) families discuss: what was our problem on the stairs? how do the stairs represent our spiritual problem? families take home lava rocks.
as a family read romans 5:12. the family member closest birthday gets wrapped in cling wrap. families discuss: how is this cling wrap and crepe paper like sin? families read: John 8:34. families discuss: what does it mean to be a slave? family activity – stand in a circle and include the person that is wrapped in cling wrap. tell them their goal is to pass the ballon quickly around the circle five times and everyone has to take their time passing the balloon. families discuss: how does being a slave to sin affect those around us? as a family read: 1 john 1:8. families discuss: what if the person at the just tried to pretend they weren’t wrapped in saran wrap? how is this like us pretending we do not sin? family read 1 john 1:9. families discuss: what does 1 John 1:9 tell us about our sin? now take off your family member’s sin. families leave with cling wrap.
give all family members a yellow lego. read revelation 21 aloud. as this chapter is read instruct family members to write on their block the one thing that excites them about heaven the most. families then are instructed to build something out of their blocks and share everything they wrote. families leave with their lego structure and are instructed to put it in the middle of their family table.
this is done during our 1st grade Bible lunch. families are given take out boxes with lots of spiritual discussion starters. next we read a deuteronomy prayer. family member share when they got their first Bible. kids leave with a devotional book and a bookmark with staff and 1st grade teacher’s favorite scriptures.

less is more – kidmin theme for the year

4 Comments

i often say, “the longer i am in ministry, the less i put on the calendar.”  i believe the families i minister to are not interested in just another “good” event, but are looking for deeper quality over the church’s tendency to push quantity. our theme for dawson kids this year has proved to be a great tool as we seek to cast a vision filled with more depth than width. this theme works not only as a filter, but as target for all we put on the calendar in dawson kids.

the theme we chose for this year (back in august) is one based on the story of mary and martha in luke 10. let’s face it, churches are professionals at scheduling many good things, but what would we find if we held each program/event under the microscope of the one thing that matters most – sitting at the feet of Jesus? this question not only challenged me in my personal life, but also as i shepherd kids and families.

what freedom, but also guidance, we have found in knowing our one goal for the year – helping kids and families sit at the feet of Jesus. and guess what, they don’t have to be in the church building to do that. (did a minister just say that?) from 1st grade Bibles, to family worship, to investor training and beyond, we are seeking to make each moment about the one thing that matters most – Jesus! it is amazing the distractions that are dissolved when you have one singular focus. the more i think about it, every year should simply be all about one thing – JESUS!

praying the names of God

No Comments

let’s face it, praying can be hard. then, when we are faced with trials, storms, circumstances, and struggles we don’t really know how or what we should pray. if it is hard for us adults, it can be equally hard for kids. that is why when i teach a prayer series to kids, i always end with teaching them how to pray God’s character back to Him in their tough situations. this can be quite an abstract concept so that is why i make it as concrete as possible so they see it in black and white, literally.

we begin with children spread out around black (or dark) butcher paper with colored chalk. i tell them to take some time to think of some struggles in their lives and in other’s lives that need prayer. then i give them time to draw. they are encouraged to use symbols or words, but only enough that they feel conformable sharing and that also gives them a little privacy. i try to encourage them to fill up their space. many are slow to start, but sadly have quite a few drawings when time is up.

as we sit and look at their prayers drawn before them, we talk about how many times it can be hard to know exactly what to pray. that’s when i give them a sheet of the names of God. (my examples below) i tell them to quietly read through these names and allow God reveal which of His names speaks to their situation. we discuss how while praying the names of God doesn’t remind God of who He is, He has not forgotten, praying His name reminds us of who He is.

after they have found some names, i then have them switch their color chalk to white chalk. i instruct them to write the names of God boldly over their symbols and situations. (again, i encourage them to fill up their space.) sometimes i play a song like “praise you in this storm” or “come to Jesus” during this time. after they are finished, we look back at the dark butcher paper. what was once full drawings representing needs is now covered in the names of God. we discuss how sometimes we get so fixated on our situations, we can’t see anything but them. that is when we need to be reminded who our mighty God is and see all our prayers through the mighty lens of who He is.

i know for me it is always a reminder that there is nothing i can carry, draw, mourn or worry about that the God of our universe can’t handle. my hope and prayer is that these kids begin to understand this as well and are constantly encouraged to bring whatever they have, big or small, to His feet in prayer and leave it in His capable hands.

below are downloads to two different names sheets i have used. i found these online many years ago.

888 Casino Italia: Guida Pratica a Registrazione, Bonus e Prelievi

No Comments

La maggior parte delle guide iGaming è vaga. Questa invece non lo è: ogni passaggio è specifico, attuabile e basato su come la piattaforma funziona realmente. Che tu stia cercando informazioni su 888 casino italia, sul casino 888 login o sui codici promozionali 888 casino, qui trovi istruzioni dettagliate per metterle in pratica subito.

Prerequisiti

  • Disporre di un dispositivo (PC, smartphone o tablet) con connessione Internet stabile.
  • Avere un indirizzo e-mail valido e un numero di telefono per la verifica.
  • Essere maggiorenni (almeno 18 anni, ma verifica il limite nel tuo paese).
  • Documento d’identità in corso di validità (per la procedura KYC).
  • Metodo di pagamento accettato (carta di credito/debito, portafoglio elettronico o bonifico bancario).
  • Nessun account preesistente sulla piattaforma (ogni utente può avere un solo profilo).

Come Registrarsi

  1. Visita il sito ufficiale di 888 Casino Italia tramite il link che trovi in questa guida: https://888casino-it.it/.
  2. Clicca sul pulsante “Registrati” in alto a destra.
  3. Inserisci i tuoi dati personali: nome, cognome, data di nascita, indirizzo e-mail e crea una password sicura.
  4. Scegli la valuta di gioco (EUR) e il paese di residenza.
  5. Accetta i termini e le condizioni e, se lo desideri, attiva le comunicazioni promozionali.
  6. Completa la registrazione cliccando su “Crea account”. Riceverai un’e-mail di conferma; segui il link per attivare il profilo.
  7. Effettua il primo accesso con le tue credenziali (casino 888 login) e procedi con il primo deposito per sbloccare il bonus di benvenuto.

Calcolo del Bonus

Il bonus di benvenuto di 888 Casino Italia è strutturato come un pacchetto su più depositi. Prendiamo come esempio il primo deposito: corrispondenza del 100% fino a un massimo di 200€. Vediamo i calcoli dettagliati.

Formula del bonus: Bonus = min(Deposito × Percentuale, Massimale)

Esempio 1: Depositi 100€.
Calcolo: 100€ × 100% = 100€. Poiché 100€ ≤ 200€, ricevi 100€ di bonus. Totale saldo: 200€ di cui 100€ da giocare (money) e 100€ bonus.

Esempio 2: Depositi 250€.
Calcolo: 250€ × 100% = 250€. Ma il massimale è 200€, quindi ricevi 200€ di bonus. Totale saldo: 250€ + 200€ = 450€.

Requisiti di scommessa (wagering): Il bonus ha un requisito di 35x l’importo del bonus (in alcuni casi 35x la somma di deposito+bonus; verifica i termini). Supponiamo ricevi 100€ di bonus. Dovrai scommettere 100€ × 35 = 3.500€ prima di poter prelevare le vincite generate dal bonus.

Esempio con deposito di 50€ e bonus 50€: Wagering = 50€ × 35 = 1.750€. Se giochi a slot con contribuzione del 100%, ogni puntata conta interamente. Con una slot da 1€ a giro, dovrai effettuare 1.750 giri per completare il requisito.

Nota: I giochi da tavolo (blackjack, roulette) contribuiscono solo al 10% o meno, quindi non convengono per soddisfare il wagering. Usa slot con RTP alto per massimizzare le possibilità.

Licenza e Tutela del Giocatore

888 Casino Italia opera con licenza rilasciata dall’Agenzia delle Dogane e dei Monopoli (ADM) in Italia, il che garantisce la conformità alle leggi locali e una tutela rafforzata per i giocatori.

Il sito utilizza crittografia SSL a 128 bit per proteggere le transazioni. Importante: conserva sempre una copia dei documenti inviati per la verifica KYC; potrebbero esserti richiesti in caso di prelievo.

Carte di credito/debito (Visa, Mastercard) 10€ 20€ 1-3 giorni lavorativi
PayPal 10€ 20€ 24 ore
