Mailbox Ministry

Every child at UUI has their own mailbox, and every Sunday when they come to church something new is waiting for them inside their mailbox. A mailbox ministry can have many purposes. Some possibilities are:

• a place to keep nametags

• reinforce the time/words for all ages element of the Sunday Service

• reinforce the RE lesson for the day

• advertise upcoming church events

• full-week faith information for families

• be it’s own little mailbox pulpit

• be a safe space to accommodate Mystery Friends communications

• be an avenue for various church groups to connect with families

• be community building—kids will be excited to come to church and check their mailbox each week!

• help kids feel ownership of the church—their mailbox is a little piece of real estate in the church that belongs just to them.

This was for Black History Month. There was a dime in mailbox to glue into the picture frame.
