Wow these videos are so long and difficult to wade through. Is there just a ‘brief’ summary of the change we can expect?
These videos are provided for those who want a fuller explanation of the changes and why they were made so that they are better able to understand for teaching themselves and/or for preparing other leaders to teach. A prior blog post is available with a summary, there is a Kids Ministry 101 Magazine issue with articles about most changes, and, of course, the preview samples are available for access to see directly what is different.
