Time to Order!

jgillen — Mon, 14 Jul 2008 00:18:00 GMT

Fall is quickly approaching, and many of you will be starting up your clubs again, or for the first time! How exciting! We at Kids 4 Truth have been preparing for the new year as well, adding support staff, purchasing inventory, etc. We hope you'll find that some of our improvements are a big help to you.

In order to be invoiced through our on-line store, the Kids 4 Truth staff will need to add your account to the invoicing group. Please contact clubs@kids4truth.com if you'd like to have this option added to your account.

As note earlier this year, many of our items are now being shipped from different locations across the country. You will need to keep this in mind as you place orders. Here's a quick refresh of what has changed since last fall, and some standard shipping timeframes for UPS Ground (our default shipping option).

As we approach the fall, many churches will all be placing orders at the same time. The earlier you get your order in, the earlier we can get it to you. Please allow at least 2-3 weeks before your club begins for your order to arrive. The goal of the Kids 4 Truth staff is to ship orders 24-48 hours after the order is placed; however, during the busy fall ordering season, we cannot guarantee this. Orders will be shipped on a first come-first served basis. Also, please remember that banners take up to two weeks to be shipped, and shirts take up to four weeks.

As always, please feel free to contact us anytime you have questions. We are here to serve you.

Getting A Handle On The Scope And Sequence Of Kids 4 Truth

BobRoberts — Tue, 21 Nov 2006 21:45:19 GMT

Here is a short and helpful PowerPoint presentation that will help anyone evaluating the Kids 4 Truth Club understand the scope and sequence of the curriculum.

Also, for those of you using Kids 4 Truth, I recommend sending a link to this blog post to your fellow workers and parents of clubbers. Please let me also encourage you to use this presentation with a projector in order to explain how the children’s Truthbooks work. I trust that if you’re already using our materials you will find this a helpful tool for all who are involved in your local Kids 4 Truth Club.

You will need either PowerPoint or the PowerPoint Viewer to view this file. If you have neither, don’t fret! Microsoft has the FREE PowerPoint Viewer available on their website for immediate downloading. I recommend downloading the 2007 version.

Here’s the scope and sequence of the Kids 4 Truth Curriculum in a nutshell:

4 Age Levels
2 Truthbooks (curriculum workbooks) per Level
6 Doctrinal Themes per Truthbook
10 “Top” Questions and Answers per Doctrinal Theme
120 Total Top Q&A is reviewed every two years. Answers gradually “get tougher” as a child’s mental capacity grows. We desire to systematically build upon the rich doctrinal knowledge that the children have learned in previous Levels.

I hope this will be a blessing to you. Thank you, and may God richly bless you and yours this Christmas season.

Your Servant,

Starting Soon? Have a special event planned? Please let us know.
