The Ananda Family Ministry needs YOU. Can you help us with reading a story during Sunday School? Holding a child’s hand going up and down the stairs, singing chants, lighting candles, meditating with young children, gluing, cutting or pasting?

This is a 40 minute direct experience while working with Divine Mother. These children will inspire you.

Here is a quote from one of the newest Sunday School helpers:

“The thing that stands out to me is the creative, fun ways we bring the message to the kids.  The activities tend to be as engaging to me as they are for the kids.”

“There are many lessons for a devotee in helping with the children.  The two most important ones for me recently have been noticing first of all, how quickly the children respond to non-verbal, loving energy.  When I feel really centered and open in my heart, the children are calmer too. They really act like little mirrors and are eager to cooperate and show their best side.  The second lesson has been acceptance backed up with prayer.  If the children are acting out or there is a situation happening that calls for an “adult” decision, first taking a deep breath, doing my best not to judge (acceptance) and then asking Master for help can bring a solution much more quickly.  Once I hear that inner answer, it has been much easier to be lovingly firm with the children and I have found they accept what I am saying.  If I am off center and inwardly unsure, they seem to know it and the acting out can go on longer. I feel really happy when I’ve been able to ask Master for help and together we have helped a child have a good experience.”
