Happy New Year! We can’t wait to get started on a new year of ministry with you and your kids.

Here are a few things coming up in our ministry . . .

ADD YOUR OWN DATES: PARENT WORKSHOP
This month, we are hosting a get-together for parents to encourage you and talk about how we can better partner with you in helping your kids grow their faith! See you there!

ADD YOUR OWN DATES: GIFT TAG CHALLENGE
This quarter, we’re getting families to pay it forward with their gifts. Help your kids identify different things they can do!

A 5-WEEK SERIES FROM THE NEW TESTAMENT ABOUT JESUS’ EARLY LIFE & MINISTRY

SERIES OVERVIEW:

Museums have the unique ability to transform learning! Instead of merely reading words on a page, we can experience them through all of our senses! A Day at the Museum is a series all about helping kids interact with the stories of Jesus and connecting them to God. Jesus’ life and early ministry helps all of us experience (see, hear . . . even taste!) and follow God in new, tangible, and real ways.

When we think of gifts that kids have we tend to think of certain, visible type of gifts in areas like music, athletics, or leadership. Those are all excellent skills and gifts that a kid can share with the world . . . But there are so many more amazing gifts that we can recognize, celebrate, and develop!

If you’re subscribed to Grow Your Ministry, now would be a good time to attach Parent Tip Video #6 from your Parents section.

For those of you with preteens, you know what’s coming . . . lots of difficult conversations. Fortunately, we found a wonderful RESOURCE to help you get started on having some of these talks with your tween in less awkward ways. Okay, it might still be awkward. But you can navigate these topics with more grace and keep the communication going during this key developmental stage!
