I’ve Been Published

November 10, 2009 — 8 Comments

I’ve had a long-hidden goal of writing something that may one day be read by others.  One could even rightly assume that is why I started this blog some 5 years ago.  Well, I officially got something published of the paper variety.

Fly Paper Ministry

My article is in Group Publishing’s Children’s Ministry Magazine.  Do you see it?  I wrote that second bi-line on the cover there.  See it now?  “Entice Your Parents to STICK AROUND.” I was approached a few months ago to elaborate on something I had written about here at www.jonathancliff.com.  They gave me a title, a topic, and I ran with it from there.  The article is a great synopsis into the changes we made at Trinity Church last summer to help parents get more involved with their kids.

Fly Paper Ministry: Discover the three keys for every church event that make parents give up dropping off their kids -and actually STICK AROUND.  It’s easier than you think!

If you’d like to read it, come by my office and buy me lunch.  If you already have a copy, head over to page 86 and give it a look-see.  If you can’t take me to lunch, and you don’t have a copy then then head over to www.childrensministry.com and sign up for a subscription today.

    Hey Jonathan, congrats on getting published. That is awesome. I look forward to reading the article. I would take you to lunch, but Lubbock is a bit of a drive.

    I have been recently been exposed to your blog and your children’s ministry website at Trinity. I am deeply inspired and encouraged by the things you have done and are doing in the little i have read. I am a young CM Pastor from Ohio and am experiementing with a lot of things. When i read your blogs about Thinking Orange it really made me thinking of doing new things, and with our VBS especially! Then i was reading through the magazine and saw an article very similar to what you had talked about and there you were in the magazine. I truly feel that God is drawing me to do something greater, than just the “drop off ministry”, ya know? This is definitely a highlight to read about as it is such an innovative way of approaching ministry with the whole family. Sweet idea bro….
