Friends -- Does not disappoint!
"As a regular user of Children's Ministry Deals curriculum, I have been consistently impressed with the comprehensiveness of their lessons. They have thought of everything you need: Large group Bible lessons, object lessons, games, memory verses, review activities... all in one place! What more could you ask for? The "Friends" curriculum also adheres to this "all-in-one" format, and I love the way the lessons take time to examine the "famous friends" of the Bible! Friends are such an important elements to our kids' lives, and this is the perfect platform/method for them to look closely at what God has to teach/say about friendships and what it takes to be a good friend. What a relevant topic! Kudos CM Deals! Well done!"

"Using it now, and enjoying it. :)"
Good content, but wish it was a little more practical
"The lessons are biblically solid and easy to teach, but my small group leaders did comment that they wished it was a little more geared towards building friendships between the kids. We picked this topic because we're having a little trouble with girl drama in the older groups. This series focuses on being faithful, sharing Jesus with our friends, and encouraging each other to do what's right, but it doesn't have a lot of specific practical steps to strengthen or rebuild hurting relationships."
Invite
"We combined this with our John 3:16 day (invite friends to church) and lead a friend to Christ booklets and gave the message of salvation...it worked great together and decisions for Christ were made!!"
Friends Curriculum
"I have really enjoyed using several CMD curriculum on Sunday mornings! They give great direction and options as to how you use them. The one thing that I've always found odd are the many grammar/typos that are in them. This last one had the wrong scripture reference to the story in one of the parts. It makes me not trust 100% in the content and making me feel the need to double check what things say. (Which I should do anyway.) I think I'd have more confidence in using/planning if I knew I could trust the content more. It's not something you can just hand off to your teachers. You need to go over every inch."

Friends Curriculum
"Our kids ministry staff and volunteers enjoyed this curriculum. In a society that promotes self a lot more than others, this curriculum was a good way to teach kids about the importance of friendships and what the Bible says about friendships. The object lessons were helpful to help illustrate the main point of each lesson and the kids enjoyed the games as well."
Review of Friends Curriculum
"I have not yet used the curriculum because we are saving it for the month of June as the kids prepare for summer vacation. We feel that is a good time because children will be spending more time with their friends, going on vacation and possibly making new ones. This curriculum will help them to examine their present relationships to see if perhaps some changes need to be made. It will also guide them in making new friendships. The curriculum looks great and we look forward to using it in June."
Loved it...
"I usually rewrite all my lessons for my teachers to help make it easier for them and them make up my take home sheets. But I didn't have to do any of that. I love the simple format and my teachers loved it too...."
Friends 4-Week Children's Ministry Curriculum
"I am so excited with the new curriculum we received called "Friends". I am going to be using this curriculum for our summer camp this year. There is so much wonderful teaching material, as well as games and other fun activities to go along with it. It is perfect for our "Choosing and Being a Great Friend" camp this coming summer!"
