The staff at Kids 4 Truth loves to keep the program as flexible as possible. We believe it is important for a program to fit into your ministry not the ministry fit into a program. With that in mind, we have kept the materials you use, how awards are earned, and service schedules as flexible as possible. We give our recommended scenarios along with optional scenarios to give churches ideas on how to set up their program. We have received requests for editable record keeping sheets. We are happy to announce that record sheets are now editable.
If you are happy with the record sheets the way they have been in the past, simply print the record sheets and manually fill in your names and dates.
To Customize (Edit) the files:
- Attendance Sheets: Simply type in the names and dates and print the file. Place the printed sheets in a notebook or folder and manually mark responsibility each week.
- Award Record Sheets: Type in the children’s names and dates for each week. To edit how each award is earned, highlight the text you want to change and type in the new text (or follow instruction below). After the sheet looks the way you want, print the file. Place the printed sheets in a notebook or folder and manually mark when the child has earned each award.
For those who want optional award scenarios or ideas on wording for how awards are earned, check out our new Awards Scenario Document (http://equipu.kids4truth.com/files/folders/generaldocuments/entry98.aspx).
