Creating a “Church-Ninja” Package is a fun, easy, and pretty inexpensive way to remind the children of your community of faith that you’re thinking of them this summer.

How Does it Work?

The concept is basically to create a treasure box of fun activities and items, and then secretly drop it off at the homes of the kids in your congregation .  It’s pretty straight-forward stuff – just think of a wine/book ninja adapted for church kids.

Have fun with it!  Invite members of the congregation to fill the boxes and make the Ninja-deliveries!  It’s probably best to let the parents/adults know that a package is coming, but try to keep it a secret from the kids!

 Greeting Message from the Church Ninja

  • Personalise the message with the child’s name, community of faith, and contact info for ministry and/or volunteer leaders.
  • Template is included, but feel free to change or create your own.

Treasure Box Container

  • Depending on budget, the Treasure Chest could be a purchased box or simply a decorated shoebox.
  • Just remember to personalize the box with the child’s na me!
