Ministry Fair Ideas

Those of you who are using the "Consecrated, Lord, To Thee" segment of Consecrated Stewards ( as well as many others) may be interested in some additional ideas for the Ministry Fair event that we recommend for the Sunday before Consecration Sunday. Karen Kogler, Director of Volunteer Ministries at St. Peter's Lutheran, Arlington Heights, IL, provides some hints and resources on her blog, "The Equipper" (Click Here). Included are sample serving cards, ministry fair map, and children's activity from Immanuel Lutheran in Batavia, IL. These are good resources for educating people about the ministries of your church and community and enlisting their time and God-given gifts for these ministries.
