Parent Time

Good afternoon! I hope that you are all having a great week so far. This past Sunday your kids learned about how a good friend will make time for them.

This weekend take some time to read through the story with your child: John 21:1-14. It is the story of when Jesus goes to the disciples while they are fishing after Jesus has already come back from the dead. He tells the disciples to cast their nets into the boat and they catch all of this fish. When they come to shore the disciples realize that it is Jesus and they cook the fish and have breakfast together. Even though Jesus did not come back for the long, he still took the time to have breakfast with his friends.

Talk about the story with your children and tell them about at time when you made time for a friend or when a friend made time for you. How did it make you feel?

Have fun this weekend, enjoy the time you have with your kids!

Parent Time

Good afternoon! I hope that you all had a great spring break. I love the spring, I love taking walks with my husband, opening the windows in my house, not wearing a coat, the smell of fresh cut grass and my list could go on and on. Take advantage of this weather with your kids.

This past Sunday we continued learning about Friendship during KidZone. This past week we talked about the story of Doubting Thomas (John 20:24-31) and how Jesus helped Thomas believe in who He was. Our bottom line was: A true friend will help you believe.

This week I challenge you to tell your story of how you came to know Jesus to your children. Who in your life helped you believe in Jesus and make that decision to follow Him.

Have fun sharing your story with your family!
