This September issue of INSIGHT caused me to ask some questions about volunteers, parents, special needs and planning events. Thankfully, answers to my questions were included in the E-magazine articles. I hope Eric Hamp's report will prompt you to consider participating in one of the 2010 INCM mission opportunities.

A fantastic new resource is being launched on September 15! The INCM Network Directory will provide an easy way for you to connect with other leaders in your local area and leaders in Networks across the country. Ministry Network leaders will be able to exchange ideas, share resources, develop plans, and post local meeting information on the FREE Ministry Directory site. Get ready to see your Ministry Network circle grow!

Next month will mark the one year anniversary of the INSIGHT! Pam Burton, the INCM Communications Director, and her ministry team of volunteers are calculating the celebration. Thank you for telling your friends about this free monthly resource…there are now almost 10,000 readers!

Lazy 20's!
by Michelle D. Basich

Some of them still sleep in past 9am on a weekend...others seem to not want to be involved in church activities...and seemingly all of them come in late to the late service!

Special Needs: Understand the Diagnosis, Understand the Individual
by Amy Fenton Lee

Many churches lack formal programs that reach or intentionally include children with special needs. However, the vast majority of children's ministries, often unknowingly, have children with disabilities or developmental delays participating in their programs.

Communicating with Parents and Family in Early Childhood Ministry

When parents and teachers share similar goals and use similar approaches, teaching God's Word is strengthened.
