Best Practices for Online Children’s Ministries

The Children’s Ministries Department of the Alberta Conference is excited to partner with Prairie Adventist eSchool (PACeS) to offer two sessions to improve your virtual ministries for young children. As the COVID pandemic continues to challenge churches and especially children's ministries to engage their members, we’re blessed to have a team of national experts in online children’s instruction right here in the Alberta Conference. The PACeS staff are excited to pass on their experience and ideas for using Zoom to engage your young children in church programs and Sabbath Schools. So, if you work in your church's Children's Ministries or Children's Sabbath School departments, please consider joining us on Monday, October 19 and Monday, October 26 at 7 pm for two one-hour sessions.

Sessions will be taught by professional Adventist children’s educators with plenty of time for Q&A and practicing these concepts yourself. If you’re involved in ministering to younger children online, you won’t want to miss this event. Please register at www.albertaadventist.ca/ChM2020
