NEW HOLIDAY SERIES FROM CMI!

Start out the new year right by celebrating all the holidays
from a Christian perspective.

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. Visit our website for these and more of our products.

HOW'S THIS FOR A NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTION?

Every January, untold millions of people resolve to do something, many times not even getting to first base with their desire of self-improvement. But in honoring Christ everyday we could resolve, with God's, help to start the family tradition of home worship or devotions. No one has to remind you of the importance of putting God's Word in your heart. This is best done by starting the day with a family worship time. We do a lot of good things every day, why not do the best?

CMI has developed Home Devotions Guides using the Shorter Catechism as a way of assisting families in the fine art of raising them in the faith. Each of the three volumes are only $6.00 each. These self-directed guides allow for a family to go at their own pace. Each lesson has a question taken from the Children's Catechism, has a redefinition, a Bible Lesson, songs and prayers. Order today.
