Kidstuf Media

[dmot]

I'm looking for the three photos for "The Word" segment in the Kidstuf Monthly Family Experience for the month of October.

Also, if your church uses Kidstuf and you produce a lot of media for it, what do you think about having a section in the MXC? Would that be helpful? Maybe we could ask the bosses is there was enough interest.

We don't produce alot of media for Kidstuf be because of limited personnel resources .. However I'd be interested in be a consumer for artwork/video created specifically for Kidstuf.

Thanks!

Explain what you are looking for (I am unfamiliar with the Kidstuf program) and maybe we could help out.

I may get this wrong a little but basically North Point Community Church (Andy Stanley) uses Kidstuf as the name for one of their children's program. The name can be licensed for other churches for a very small fee.

The curriculum that fits into it, and other youth programs, comes from an affiliated group (not sure exactly how) called Orange.

One of the components is a weekly and monthly family experience that includes drama and quite a bit of media. In that production for the October Monthly Family Experience, in the "Word" segment, we need a picture of an overflowing trash can, a messy kids room, and an elderly woman raking leaves. I have someone working on it for me now but sometimes when I get in a bind it would be nice to be able to share. It would also be helpful to share Media Time media. (Another segment that goes along with the monthly virtue.)

Well, I know where I could find an overflowing trash can and a messy kid's room...

I don't know how relevant it is to the graphics, but here's the story behind Kidstuf.

When North Point was founded, the founding member's included Reggie Joiner, along with Andy Stanley. Reggie was the family ministry director. In addition to normal children's services during service, they created an environment called Kidstuf. Kidstuf happens after normal service. Kidstuf is different because it includes both kids and parents in the service. In fact, they have a rule that says "no dropoffs" meaning that kids can't come without their parents.

At some point, Reggie started a separate non-profit company called Rethink Group. They provide curriculum and materials to other churches (for a fee, of course).

The name "Kidstuf" belongs to North Point, but they freely let you use it as long as you maintain the "no dropoff" policy.

Rethink Group has a lot of media available. Posters, live lyrics, story and intro videos. They do a good job with this stuff, but it would be great to have community that's doing this kinda unique program to share resources and ideas from a graphic standpoint.

Is there any body out there specifically creating graphics and videos for use in a Childrens worship environment?
