United Parents is a software that you download on the computer that your child uses that monitors their web behavior. It allows parents to safely guide their children’s online activity while at the same time respecting their privacy (however, at my house, privacy is not something I’m inclined to grant too often as a parent! If you have to hide it from me, for the most part, it’s probably wrong).

United Parents is a collaborative program, meaning that as you report and analyze various web sites and activity your children are engaging in, they use that information to make their program stronger. My children are not quite old enough for me to worry about this, but it seems like a quality option for parents to monitor their children’s internet use. I’d definitely recommend it to parents in my ministry.

Thanks to Dick Gruber and Jason Rhode, you can download 13 lessons on the book of Hebrews from the resource section of the CMU site. Dick and Jason are the hosts of the podcast Children’s Ministry Talk.

This is a site of various free materials. Videos, music, design ideas, lessons, etc. I’d call it a hodgepodge of church freebies. I’m not sure how updated they keep it. I saw a few “2004″ years around there, but there is a good deal of content.
