What is SWAP???

Welcome to SWAP!

That's "Silly With A Purpose"!


If you serve in children's ministry, you know kids love to be silly! They love it even more when their leaders are a little silly too! I believe in having tons of fun when teaching kids, not just for the sake of being silly, but for the purpose of reinforcing biblical truths.


When planning lessons, I often run across ideas that are either too boring or might be fun and silly, but don't have much depth to them. Some children's ministries think the silly stuff is - well - silly and that we need to be more serious about The Word, while other children's ministries focus so much on the silly that when Mom & Dad ask their kids what they learned about in Sunday School, all the kids remember is the goofy game they played. Why can't both silly and serious live harmoniously? I believe they can and that's what this blog is all about.


The intention of this blog is for those of us in the wonderful world of children's ministry to SWAP ideas for incorporating fun and silly activities into our lessons without sacrificing the integrity of The Word.


Regardless of the area of children's ministry in which you serve, feel free to share your ideas...what's worked for you...what hasn't...offer suggestions...ask questions...in other words SWAP with others who love Jesus and love children as much as you do! Just leave a comment with your suggestions and ideas and feel free to use my ideas in your ministry as well.


May the Lord richly bless you as you do your part in training up the next generation of Christ followers.


To God be the glory!

My "What": They preached with joyful urgency that life can be radically different; right and left they sent the demons packing; they brought wellness to the sick, anointing their bodies, healing their spirits. Mark 6:13 MSG My "How": Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight. Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and turn away from evil. It will be healing to your body and refreshment to your bones. Honor the Lord from your wealth and from the first of all your produce; so your barns will be filled with plenty and your vats will overflow with new wine. Proverbs 3:5-10 NASB My "Why": From HIM and through HIM and to HIM are all things. To HIM be the glory forever. Amen. Romans 11: 36 NASB
