First Presbyterian Church in St. Cloud

 

1. Created a welcoming and developmentally appropriate space in the sanctuary to accommodate young children.

2. We are still in the process of establishing a children's music group.

Montrose United Methodist Church

1. We ordered puppets and while we have not had a chance to find people to be in the ministry, we now have the means to start talking more about the ministry to get people excited about it.

2. We were also able to find a wonderful resource online for children’s bulletins and story packs to hand out to the kids each week that go along with the message of the sermon. 

First Presbyterian Church of Howard Lake

 

1. Having more regular conversations about children has grown our hearts and minds in new ways.

2. Telling our story in local social media has helped us gain help.

3. The help of receiving communications from Columbia and this grant project has expanded our knowledge of resources available to aid in our endeavors.
