This week, Sovereign Grace Music has asked me to review two of their CD’s for kids and also give away a few to some lucky Free CM Stuff readers!

They sent me two of their CD’s: Amazing God and To Be Like Jesus.

Both of these CD’s are incredible. My two daughters love them. They stay true to Sovereign Grace Ministries’ desire to exalt biblical truth in our world. Amazing God helps kids to explore the depths of the nature and character of God. To Be Like Jesus plants the fruit of the Spirit into young hearts. The music is of excellent quality and I’ve found myself choosing to listen to it on my own on several occasions. I definitely recommend that you buy these (if you don’t win them) to provide more biblically centered music in your ministry. I would also suggest you make parents aware of these great resources.

They will be giving away 2 sets of these CD’s. You can put your name in the hat in two ways.

1. Comment below that you want to be entered. (1 time)
2. Become a fan of Free CM Stuff on Facebook AND comment on the wall that you want to be entered. (1 time)

Your name can be entered into the drawing no more than two times. I will announce the winner on Wednesday April 14th. Good luck!

I’ve come across this really awesome band for kids called The Lads. They are from New Zealand and have a great sound. There is a movement in Children’s and Family music to make music more culturally relevant and this is a great thing! On their site, you can download several of their songs. Just look for the brown box with the orange arrow at the top of their site. I can’t link you straight to them because the site is flash based.

I love music. Since I miss a great deal of worship services, I worship at many other times aside from Sunday mornings. One of the tools I use in the office each week is a site called Grooveshark. You can listen (not necessarily download) virtually any song you can think of. It is a free, internet-based music service. You can purchase a membership with them in order to listen to music in more versatile ways as well.

Well, this is our last day of the “Freed Up” Ministry series. I hope that you have gotten some great resources over the last several weeks.

Today, I think you need to check out the Seeds Family Worship YouTube channel. Seeds Family Worship has some great free music videos that you can easily use as worship videos or intro music to events. Check out:

• I Timothy 4:12
• Philippians 4:6-7
• Psalm 55:2

You may recall a previous post here about how Seeds gives away the guitar chords for every one of their songs. I love to hear of organizations like this, willing to give of the resources God has given them.

Download these videos through a website such as Vixy, Gazzump, or Media Converter.

In the future, be on the look out for :

• More Wednesday Give Aways
• New Feature: Leadership Nuggets (small ideas or articles to help you in your ministry)
• New Series: Keep Your Focus (free resources to keep you spiritually focused)

If you are not caught on to Seeds Family Worship, then you are missing out on something great for your ministry. The music they produce is completely from Scripture and the tunes are modern and catchy. They not only offer a great variety of CD’s, but will also come to your church to help you put on a family worship night. When you purchase one of their CD’s, you actually get two, one to listen to and one to share. This is in an effort to perpetuate their “seeding” mentality concerning the Word of God.

Another way they plant seeds is by making all of the chord charts and words for each song available for a free download on their website. I personally contacted them to ensure that the downloadable chord charts were free for anyone and they assured me that they were. You can even listen to the songs through their site, then get the chord charts to learn them yourself. It’s a great resource for leading worship at your next special event for kids, during AWANA opening ceremonies or for a kids worship service.

Cornerstone University Radio has a great resource out there for you to pass along to families. It is a place where a good deal of Christian radio progamming for kids comes together. This is a quote from their site:

We’ve gathered the best in children’s Christian programming and put it in one place so you can easily find safe, entertaining, and enriching content just for kids! Our alliance of broadcasters and partners work hard to make HisKids.net a place you and your child want to be.

Kids can listen to shows like “Down Gilead Lane” and “Paws and Tales” on demand. Or you can stream the His Kids Radio station. If you contact them, they will set up a custom logo of your church on a special site of theirs. You can provide a link in your own website to the His Kids Radio site with your logo on it. You can see an example of mine here. This is all free, however, they do offer a paid service where you can stream your sermons, podcasts and trainings if you would like. This particular aspect of their service is charged by how large your church is.
