Frugal Fun: Creative Kids Ministry Events
Episode 43
Pastor cuts our events budget seventy percent. Just like that. I'm sitting there thinking great now we're the church with stale goldfish crackers while everyone else has actual entertainment.
But then Sarah mentions that dumb movie night we did with bedsheets and kids are still obsessing about it months later. Fifteen bucks total and they act like we took them to Hollywood.
Made me realize I'm completely backwards about this whole thing.
Tonight we're talking about why kids go insane for sheets hung between chairs but get bored at expensive stuff. How scavenger hunts with church junk work better than whatever fancy thing costs money we don't have.
Also what happens when you stop trying to keep up with churches that actually have budgets and start working with random garbage you find in closets.
Turns out weird beats expensive every time. And weird costs nothing.
For anyone whose budget got murdered, leaders sick of feeling broke compared to mega churches, and people ready to discover that kids prefer chaos over fancy productions anyway.
