Orange Kids Podcast

No matter where you are right now, it’s safe to say you’ve been affected by the COVID-19 crisis. We’ve experienced uncertainty and crisis like never before as we’ve navigated this pandemic in our communities. As kids ministry leaders and volunteers, we’ve pivoted to keep showing up for our kids and our volunteers—even when we can’t be “with” them. So, what now? What do we do to keep showing up for kids and volunteers as many of us near the end of sheltering-in-place to embrace a whole new normal in our world?
