ATYPICAL: A 4-WEEK SERIES ON FAMILY
WEEK 2 BIG IDEA: NOT-SO-TYPICAL FAMILIES PRAY FOR EACH OTHER

SERIES OVERVIEW:

No family is perfect — not even the ones that seem "normal" on the outside. No one truly has a "normal" family, and that's okay! Sometimes it's the most not-normal families that God uses to make the most not-normal difference in the world. In this 4-week series, we'll look at four imperfect and "atypical" families from Scripture. We'll discover that not-so-typical families are often used by God because not-so-typical families pray for each other, have tough conversations, and forgive each other.

DOWNLOAD THIS WEEK'S SMALL GROUP GUIDE

We all know some pretty amazing moms who give so much of themselves to their kids. This Mother's Day, think about the moms of the students you lead, and acknowledge them. Send a text, or write a card, or grab a small gift to let them know you're on their team.

At least once this month, choose a volunteer to celebrate. Add their picture and a few sentences about what makes them awesome!

Question for you. How well do you think our ministry serves the parents of teenagers? Reply to this email and let us know! We'd love to get better.
