We’re looking forward to Valentine’s Day, Super Bowl Sunday, and (more than anything else) a great month or ministry with you and your family!

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

ADD YOUR OWN DATES: CROSSWAY STATION
This quarter, we’re having kids travel around a “train station” to learn more about what Jesus did for them! Climb aboard!

ADD YOUR OWN DATES: KIDS COLOR RUN
This quarter’s event will have kids exploding with exciement, energy, and lots of color! See you out there!

A 4-WEEK SERIES FROM THE NEW TESTAMENT ON JESUS’ TEACHINGS

SERIES OVERVIEW:

Up is Down. Right is Left. Cold is Hot. That’s right, we’re celebrating opposite day this whole month (or should we say, not celebrating? This could get confusing!) This series will give kids a chance to talk about the counter-culture things Jesus said. It sounds impossible to believe that struggles bring us closer to Jesus or that our enemies can teach us about love. However, these beautiful opposites remind us that a God we can’t see is always with us and that it’s better to follow Jesus than our own instincts. Happy Opposite Day!

How do you talk to your kid about fasting? If you don’t feel comfortable doing so, if you don’t know what to say, or if you’re thinking, “oh, I didn’t know I was supposed to do that . . .” that’s perfectly fine! If we’re being honest, fasting is a spiritual habit that’s hard to understand and potentially dangerous if not handled correctly. So let’s talk about some ideas to explain fasting in a way that’s both healthy and useful to kids!

If you’re subscribed to Grow Your Ministry, now would be a good time to attach Parent Tip Video #7 from your Parents section.

As this new year rolls on, instead of trying to sculpt a more perfect you, embrace the you that you are -- imperfections and all! Check out THIS motivational video and remember that YOU are enough!
