Continuing our discussion on the book, Inside the Magic Kingdom…

No hesitation. No introduction. Let’s hit the next lesson.

Lesson #2: Pay Fantastic Attention to Detail

Fantastic attention to detail. What a great way to put that. What does that mean? How does that apply to ministry?

In my world it means:

• Replacing batteries in baby toys; repairing/replacing safety belts on baby swings
• Room inspections searching for areas that require repair, touch up, clean up, replacement, etc. And accomplishing these tasks before the following weekend
• Walking our space, placing ourselves in ‘Guest Mode’ to determine that our directional signage, table/booth placement, and traffic flow foster the right experience for someone brand new to our church
• Restocking supplies to ensure no one is running around during ‘show time’ trying to find a form, pen, cotton balls, batteries, etc
• Getting on our knees and viewing our space from a kids point of view. Will it capture them? Excite them? Grab their attention?

I could go on and on. But the bottom line is, we work all week for the big game. The big game is the Weekend Worship Experience. (and let it be that… let it be an experience!)

Part of our role in kids ministry is to set the stage for a child to learn about Jesus. To prepare the space where someone’s life will be transformed. Fantastic attention to detail pays in dividends when a child’s eternity is changed.

Where in your ministry should you pay fantastic attention to detail?
