Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings have you ordained praise because of your enemies, that you might still the enemy and the avenger.  Psalm 8:2-niv

Hello. 

Welcome to the official website of Darin Roberts. Please feel free to use anything here to augment your Children's ministry.

First, let me start with a personal note. God is awesome! The kids are doing great at their new charter school, Angie is getting better every day, and my doctor put me on weight loss pills, so after three months, I have lost over 45 LBS, and over 9 inches off my waist. My goal is to loose 180 lbs, so yes, I will be half the man I used to be!

Now to the ministry!!!!!!

I spent some time looking for FREE background animations and loops, as well as some free countdown timers for use in children's church. Here is what I found.

2010 is off to an AWESOME START!!!

We finished our Books of the Bible Contest at the end of March. Maggie Rexach was able to say ALL 66 books of the Bible in 15.7 seconds. This meant, of course, that I lost, only able to do it in 16.1, so I was covered with 5 gallons of Green slime, 5 gallons of Red slime, 5 gallons of Yellow slime, 5 gallons of Blue slime, 5 gallons of Orange slime, and 5 gallons of Purple slime. What a mess!!!

We also held our annual PJ party, where I wore my baby blue footie pajamas, with duckies

, along with my robe and duck doll, Quackers. Yes, a 400 lb man in a onesie!!! After church, one of the men DARED me to go out to eat with him, IN MY PJ's... As if that was a challenge!

Just wait till next year!!!

Our re-model of the children's church room is mostly completed! We spent the 2nd and 3rd week of January painting, and then added to the project by building a TIKI hut around the sound table. As you can see below, we went with a pier/boardwalk theme. I built a false wall about seven foot from the back wall of the room with a door in the center, a rear screen window on the stage right (looks like a window at a touristy pier shop), and made puppet windows on the stage left with some large crates and portholes. Look below for pics.

Room we met in at start. Boring!!!


Concept Art - Hand drawn by my brother in law, Jerremy Vickery, late of Big Idea/Veggie Tales, and Pixar. He now lives down the street from me.
Now, almost complete. Just adding final details, and figuring out what to do with the floor.











Please feel free to utilize the Bible study tools provided at the bottom of this page. I am always working on improving this page, so come back soon.

I have also updated pages for the schematics for my electronic game show and my random point board. Links for these are also at the bottom of this page.

Do you need an idea for a Children's Church backdrop??? Here is what we did at our last church. It is AWESOME!

Click Here to see and hear Taylor Hanson, an awesome young lady who has the voice of an opera star, and the face of an Angel. This was filmed in 2003. Taylor was 6 or 7. She is now a beautiful young woman who loves God with all her heart. I should probibly take this off my web site, but her talent is just so amazing, just can't. Sorry Taylor... lol


I hope that the resources here are a help to you. Be Blessed.

Please note: Please choose your reading meterials carefully, as I try to do. Some of these titles would not be appropreate for children, nor those of us who use Philippians 4:8 as a guide. Many of these books are great, and many are not. Read at your own discretion, and by the guideance of the Holy Spirit.

I understand this is a large bill for most churches, but this software has everything. I used it at my last church, and it is incredible what this did for our records keeping. Feel free to call me to ask more. It is well worth the money.
