012: How to Stretch Your Curriculum Over 2 Weekly Programs
Trying to plan two weekly gatherings can leave leaders feeling stretched thin—worried about being repetitive, running out of energy, or needing to use a variety of curriculum. In this episode of Kids Ministry Answers, Mallory from Wisconsin has a question about using one curriculum for both midweek and weekend services. So we asked Linda Moon and Jason Sivewright to share practical ways to stretch a single lesson across multiple gatherings—no matter what curriculum you use—without doubling your workload.
