Christian Websites for Boys?
I am currently looking for lots of interesting weblinks to put in the kids section of our church website.
I have found a couple of 'girls only' devotional sites that I'd quite like to include but do not want to do so with out having a boy-specific counterpart! Having surfed and wilfed for many an hour I have not come across any such boy equivalent and this led me to reflect on the lack of Christian material aimed at boys in general.

It's great you've joined this network. I was looking at a few other friends on the network and thought of you. I understand that you're still very much involved in children's work and thought this might help with the old networking thing. I'm also a member of a group called Children Worldwide which is an interdenominational (ie not all like me) network of children's workers led by Steve and Kay Morgan-Gurr (You can find Kay on page 6 of the members pages). If you'd like to know more about the network then either contact me or get in touch with Kay.
Hope to hear from you soon.

Looking at your profile I realise that I need to add the Oxford Diocesan Children's network to mine!
Hope to catch up soon. I guess I'll be in the information loop for any network meetings next year but do feel free to nudge me from here!
Have a GREAT Christmas time!

Hope to see you soon

You are welcome to join the children's web ministry group I've set up on this site.
Check out the www.hikidz.org pilot site I helped develop. There is lots of content that boys would enjoy. The vision for the full site still has to be made a reality.
Let me know what you think.

You can use whatever you wish, however coins may "talk" (i.e. you will hear them clinking in an "empty" bag). The ones with the strings are on the same principle but are "manually" operated, still easy to do though. I hope this helps
