Merry Christmas!
Now for a Blessed New Year!
This
is Children's Ministry International's
25th Anniversary
as a ministry devoted to bringing Bible-based materials
to the church, school and home.
Twenty-five years ago retired pastor Hank Thigpen
and his wife Carolyn began the ministry in Tucker, GA (northeast
of Atlanta) out of their home. CMI headquarters is still
in Tucker, GA although the Thigpens retired in 1997 and moved
to Florence, AL to live with relatives. Brad Winsted is
now the director and invites you to examine all of our products
and seminars available for your church, Christian School or
home.
The distinctiveness of the CMI ministry has stayed the same.
Offering you colorful, Bible centered material that is non-consumable,
non-dated (your own schedule) and multiple aged (non-graded).
The children continue to memorize the basics of the Christian
Faith by our visualized method of Bible verses, question and
answer format and other multi-sensory techniques (music, review
games, coloring books, visualized songs and crafts). All
culminating in the child knowing what they believe and where
in the Bible to find it. Order a

Consider now a New Year's Resolution that is biblical by reading
our Children's Ministry International (CMI) article about the
whole subject of
New
Year's Resolutions.
There is a way to start off the year with something that will
last a lifetime and pass a cherished tradition on to your children.
Read this article first on the "LOST
ART & PRACTICE of FAMILY DEVOTIONS" in the July/Aug
PCA EQUIP magazine.
Wouldn't the family tradition of daily getting together and
reading God's Word, praying together and singing a song be a
great
way to start or end a day? You'll enjoy
the article and maybe make a truly significant resolution with
eternal rewards.
CMI
has daily devotion guides to get you through the basics of the
Christian faith that are simple to use and show how a
busy parent can have songs, prayers, Bible Stories and questions
and answers all ready to go each morning. And the best
news is that they are only $6.00 each.

Its
also not too early to think about what Christian lessons you'll
be using for Easter. CMI has a very popular group
of four colorful lessons (not flannelboard) for only $19.95
with coloring books also available

Also,
CMI has completed three "CHRISTIAN
CHARACTER QUALITIES" booklets with 50 character
qualities outlined and ready to be studied at your own pace
for church or home.

Please pray that volume one of our "HOLIDAY
SERIES" will be ready in January. CMI has taken
every major holiday and prepared lessons for you to show your
children how Christians should relate to the theme of that holiday.
Yes, from New Year's through Valentine's Day (Christian love
vs worldly love), President's Day (proper obedience to authorities),
Saint Patrick's Day (evangelism) to Memorial Day (what are we
to remember of others),
Volume one will basically
take the first part of the year. The remaining two volumes
will take the rest of the special days. There will be
Bible stories, historical references and clear methods to "redeem
the day for the Lord". Many of you have been after us
to complete this series and we are in the midst of producing
it now!
