		<title>Why ORANGE?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have the blessed opportunity to speak with kid leaders everyday.  Many leaders are seeing that change is needed and they need to engage kids in a better way&#8230;its just how to get there. The Sunday School church model of the 50&#8242;s isn&#8217;t attractive for these 21st century kids.  Volunteers aren&#8217;t attracted to serve. Filled [...]]]></description>

		<title>Manna Up!  Trusting the freshness of Manna</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This summer gal loves the fresh produce of summer. Its the real deal. I relish each bite of a summer tomato. I read in Exodus about the Manna deal God made with the children of Israel. Out of complaining, God  showed his faithfulness to them. To me it was really a trust issue. A trust [...]]]></description>

		<title>Planning on an ORANGE fall</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am a summer girl.  Hot is good.  Cold is bad.   Long live the good times of summer!

		<title>Clever Like That&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have heard SO many great stories from people who do ministry both as a volunteer and  paid staff who lead kids. These are not your average bear leaders. No- this is a new breed of clever! One who is focused on a mission of re-activating the family in their church and community. They are [...]]]></description>

		<title>Come Together&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have a Beatles hit playing in my head today&#8230;&#8221;Come Together.&#8221; My prayer for all who experienced the Orange Conference last week is a that there is lots of &#8220;coming together&#8221; happening in churches. I pray that leaders never go back to  &#8220;corners&#8221; of ministry, rather they unite to form  a circle of influence that [...]]]></description>
