Preteen Curriculum

Posted on August 31st, 2010

Been doing a lot of brainstorming lately about PreteenMinistry.net developing preteen curriculum.  We’ve just released a new back to school series, SCHOOL DAYS, which has been super popular.  We’ve also released other series.  I have had many requests for an ongoing preteen curriculum that leaders can use every week.  Well, I’m ready to take it [...]

Last Friday I took a few preteen boys paintballing.  We had a blast!  What I liked most about the trip was the small group that came.  I didn’t open up the event to everyone, just a few that I hand picked.  It was a great opportunity to connect with them on a deeper level.  Something [...]

Preteen Lessons for Back to School

Posted on August 10th, 2010

We’ve had some weird weather in San Diego for most of June and July – cold & overcast.  When the rest of the country was experiencing hot summer weather it was cold here in southern California.  Things finally cleared up about a week ago.  We’re now enjoying sunny skies with highs in the mid 70′s [...]
