Pay No Attention to the Man Behind the Curtain!

Anyone who's ever seen the Wizard of Oz remembers the wizard frantically trying to keep Dorothy from seeing what was really going on behind-the-scenes to make the wizard look so awesome. Here in Children's Ministry, though, we love to pull back the curtain to help parents and leaders to see all that goes into creating a fantastic weekend experience for their kids.

Long before a weekend service arrives, our staff team has been adapting and writing curriculum, buying and organizing supplies, creating props, sets and costumes, setting up lighting and tech and preparing volunteer leaders for the big moment when kids walk in the door. Many long hours and meetings go into crafting what we pray is an incredible experience for every child in our ministry.

Over the next couple of months I'm going to unpack step-by-step what our talented does to take a weekend service from the page to the stage, all to help you to see just how much we want to help kids fall in love with Jesus and follow Him. And who knows, some of you along the way may just say, "Wow, I'd love to be a part of that! How can I help?" I'll be letting you know just how you can make a big difference by partnering with our team.

So, stay tuned for more behind-the-scene with Southland Kids!
