Thanks for this post about saving money for kidmin/ministry. Very few churches have the budgets to go wild with resources. This week I wrote a quick blog about kids church decor that doesn't have to cost an arm and a leg. Although the vendor specializes in over the top environments, they consult with churches even on simple (and inexpensive) things like color palates and such. I can't remember where it is (on the web) now, but they even produced a DVD that shows you how to do a lot of the decor yourself using easy to find materials.

It's always awesome to hear that there are people/companies willing to take on smaller projects. Great post!

I'm always looking for ways to save some money when it comes to my children's ministry classes. Thank you so much for pointing us over to Todd Outcalt's "The $5 Youth Ministry"! I'm sure that I'm going to get some really wonderful ideas for my upcoming Sunday school classes. Thanks again!
