Meet Ministry
Leader
Dawn Heckert
Helping parents develop faith in their
children is critically important. Building
your church community matters, too. Let BOZ show
you an excellent way to connect church and home while he teaches
valuable lessons about keeping our God-designed bodies healthy.
A desire to take kids deeper
in their faith is what motivates Dawn
Heckert, Director of Children’s and Youth
Ministry for Christ Church Anglican in
Overland Park, KS. She believes teachers and
volunteers too often “lead children to shallow water when what we need to do is take them out to the
deep end and teach them how to swim.” Dawn says
curriculum materials from David C. Cook are just the
lifesaving help she needs.
Inside this box is everything you need to plan an event guaranteed to
bring preschoolers and parents together for a fun and meaningful party.
Plan the setting, invite families, and equip parents with the latest and greatest
resource for preschool spiritual development—at church and at home!

“I also appreciate the fact that the people at Cook go out
of their way to talk to those of us in children’s ministry
to find out what we need and what they can develop to
help us. They don’t just rely on their old faithful products,
but are always coming up with something new to meet our
needs. It’s a partnership I’ve really come to depend on.”

Dawn also likes the ability teachers have to
be flexible when using lesson plans from
David C. Cook. “I encourage our staff
to go off script and be creative—to
think of fresh, new ways to take
kids deeper in their faith so they
will really know Jesus.”

Event at a Glance
“What I really appreciate about Cook is that they have
great writers developing material that gives teachers
what they are asking for—lessons that help them lead
children closer to the heart of Jesus.
