Earlier this summer on Dad in the Middle, I reviewed a series of CDs from God’s Kids Worship and gave away a set of the CDs to one lucky reader (GOD’S KIDS WORSHIP MODERN CD 3-PACK (A Dad in the Middle Review). Since that time, I have had a chance to meet Bob Singleton (founder and president of God’s Kids Worship® at the CM Expo, and I am grateful that God’s Kids Worship® became the very first sponsor of Dad in the Middle. In order to celebrate, I am giving away a set of DVDs from God’s Kids Worship this week – but more on that later. First I want to tell you a little bit about the DVDs. These DVDs contain 14 songs each and feature the music of God’s Kids Worship. I wrote extensively about the music itself in my last review of the modern worship CDs, so I won’t reiterate all that here, but as I explained in my last review:
The songs are engaging and fun to listen to and make for a great worship experience. They are also perfect for parents to listen to with their kids in the car or at home as both are sure to enjoy the music.
What I do want to tell you about is some of the awesome features included on the DVDs themselves. For this review, I watch the 3 DVDs which are part of the June/July/August Modern Worship Summer DVD set. Down to the packaging, which is pretty cool, the attention to detail on these DVDs is amazing. Everything is designed to help you use the DVD’s in your children’s worship services as easily and effectively as possible. Each DVD loads quickly as there are no FBI Warnings or company logos to wait through in order to get to the music you need. This might not seem like a big deal until you are standing in front of 30 5 & 6 year olds waiting for you to get the DVD player working. The songs can be selected individually, or you can choose from one of four ready-to-go worship sets (containing four songs each) on each DVD.
I’m heading off to the CM Expo this week, so it seemed like a good time to get caught up on telling you about some articles I’ve written over the last several weeks which were published on 
It’s been a while since I did an installment from the book 
Based on that presumption of relationship, and the generally laid back nature of people in children’s ministry, I will refer to him as Larry throughout this review.
I was recently given the opportunity to review some modern worship CDs put out by 
The Village Church is a great church in the Dallas, Texas area where Matt Chandler is the lead pastor. I have listened to the podcast of his sermons for the last couple of years and have a great deal of respect for him and his work for God’s Kingdom. They also have some solid blogs related to their Children’s Ministries at their different campuses. Recently, I discovered that they have made a worship album for kids called “Jesus Came to Save Sinners.” The entire CD is available for download at: 
The Bible is clear that the principle responsibility for the spiritual development of children lies with parents. In children’s ministry, and as a church, we must work to encourage and equip parents in this role. To that end, Group Publishing has developed a small group curriculum that engages both parents and children. The press release accompanying this curriculum explains:
