resources for effective children's ministry

    In our Fall '97 issue we reviewed a few Nursery Resources. This book is another excellent resource for nursery ministry as it provides step by step information that will aid you in making your nursery a safe and caring one. It covers information on how to find and prepare a room, how to equip and maintain your nursery, how to recruit and train nursery staff, information on activities to help workers care for babies and information on how to develop ministries that reach out to parents in the church and community. It also provides important information on emergencies and sick child policies as well as information on how to minister with special needs children. Many of the resources in this book are reproducible - a nice feature!

    I highly recommend this book as an excellent resource to help you develop a great nursery ministry! Well done Jennifer and Group!
