I’ve Been Published
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.
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.
BTW -I am not above shameless self-promotion. Sorry…
I’m not above shameless self promotion either…my article is the third bi-line under yours! LOL
Very cool! That is sitting on my desk right now! Now I know where to start reading! I’ll read yours too Kelli. :)
Well deserved. Your advice and knowledge is that of countless parents.
Congrats dude. I let my subsciption lapse. I need to re-subscribe. Perhaps you can sell me a limited edition autographed version.
.-= Kenny´s last blog ..What’s on my plate =-.
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….
