Invaluable Resources for Families

I’ve been a long-time admirer of our own Marty Machowski’s books for children.  (Marty has been a pastor at Covenant Fellowship Church for many years.) I recently was looking for one of his books to purchase on Amazon and was amazed to see that he had published more material than I had ever realized.  And I wondered if many of you weren’t in the same boat.  So I asked Marty if he would please provide me with a list of all his works with a brief description.  So here it is.  My hope is that these will serve you and your local churches, and especially your parents, in many ways for many years.

Virtual Learning Resource from MinistrySafe

Given that most schools are utilizing “virtual learning” during the COVID-19 pandemic, Greg Love and Kimberlee Norris at MinistrySafe developed a risk analysis and best practices (below) to help educators and teachers to protect children from online abuse. I’m sending this resource to you not only to broaden your knowledge base, but you may also have teachers and educators in your church that could benefit from the expertise MinistrySafe provides.
