Introduction:

Please read 2 Samuel 9 (the story of Ziba & Mephibosheth)

The Bus Ministry still works!! It is one of the best avenues in reaching little boys, girls, and families for the Lord. It is not a free transportation service, nor is it a free babysitting service. It is a way to reach your city for the Lord and let people know that there is a church that cares.

1. Singing โ€“ It should be the best part of your program.

A. It will kill/drown out conversations that they should not be having (gossip, worldly music, etc.).

B. It will prepare their hearts for Sunday school and church.

2. The Program โ€“ The program starts with you and the workers.

A. Have everyone involved! No workers should be sitting together. SIT WITH THE KIDS!!

B. Have variety! Donโ€™t get stuck with โ€œPotato Chip, Potato Chipโ€ or โ€œCoca-Cola Went to Townโ€ for months!

C.   Have a song, skit, game, and teaching time – G.M.R.C (good manners, right conduct), memory verse, Bible character of the week, best seat awards (boy/girl).

3. Your bus is a moving advertisement.

A. Have a good time, but be respectful of the neighborhood, especially during pick-ups.

B. The neighborhood should hear laughing, verses, and singing. Kids in the neighborhood should be running outside to see whatโ€™s going on on the bus.

Closing:

Your bus should be a little heaven here on earth for your kids. They should be requesting to be dropped off last and excited for next Sunday. Give your best; give your heart to your route.
