This year make
 Valentine's Day and
 Saint
Patrick's Day completely different in your church or home by using CMI's newest product, "THE HOLIDAY SERIES".
1.
Children's Ministry International announces
its newest product, "THE HOLIDAY SERIES". We know many of you
have been waiting for some time for this and we've had some "false starts
and stops". What we wanted to do is to take all the holidays we now
celebrate and look at them through the "spectacles or glasses of Scripture"
to see how we best could honor Christ through them.
In II Corinthians 10:21 Paul tells us "that whether you eat, or drink
or whatever you do, do it all to the glory of God". How often do
we simply take the time off on these special holidays or go through
symbolic rituals without ever thinking of what the Bible might have
to say about what we are doing. There are biblical truths that these
days symbolize, and we can edify the days by celebrating them to the
Glory of God.
Our children are already interested in them
from a historical point of view. Some of them, such as, Saint Patrick's
Day and Valentines Day have been eclipsed by the revelry, lust and passion
of the world so that we miss the origins of those days. Saint Patrick
was a great evangelist who almost single-handedly brought the Gospel
to Ireland from England. Saint Valentine was martyred for his belief
in Christ. Help us redeem these special events by looking at them in
our churches and homes in a way that brings to life biblical faith and
character.
Some of our holidays have an obvious Christian theme such as Christmas,
Easter and Thanksgiving. But, what about the others? New Year's Day
can reaffirm our standing before Christ and not be wasted in fruitless
"resolutions" that mean little; July 4th can remind us of where our
true freedom is (in Christ alone), President's Day can honor our rulers
as Scripture states and help us understand biblical authority; Valentine's
Day can offer us the possibility of looking how God has loved us first
so that we might love others; and Father's and Mother's Day can have
similar themes of honoring and loving our parents.
CMI has taken all the holidays we celebrate and put them into three
volumes of lessons. Each lesson is designed to be taught in one 45 minute
lesson, but there is enough material to do more if you desire. This
can be done in a Sunday School environment or at home. There is a memory
verse (with a visualized coloring opportunity of the verse), the background
to the holiday...be it secular or sacred, a related Bible story, a craft,
lots of application and a song CD with kids singing. All of this for
only $21.00. All of the hold-up visuals are in color.

our website for these and more of our products.

3. Easter Series - "IT IS FINISHED" is always popular!
 This
Easter Series, "IT IS FINISHED" is only $19.50, but it
gives you an opportunity to "take a break" at Easter time to teach about the
stories of "the Palm Sunday Processional into Jerusalem, the Last Supper,
Betrayal, the Trial, the Crucifixion, the Resurrection and the Ascension". All
in one book, with hold up color pictures (not flannelboard). Like all CMI
products the Easter Series is non-consumable, non-dated (your schedule- use four
weeks, two or one--as many busy churches do).
Children want to learn why Easter is so special for Christians--indeed every
Sunday we celebrate Christ's Resurrection. Your children will want to see and
hear this story every Easter!

It Is Finished Series now!
