PARENTING RESOURCES

 

“Worshiping God is not about us. Worshiping God is not about what we get out of it. Worshiping God is not about our feeling good when it is over. Worshiping God is about God and what pleases God. ..I think it pleases God when children worship, and I think it pleases God when adults welcome children into the worshiping community even though they can be noisy, disruptive and uninhibited. Remember-God made them that way.”

from Postmodern Children’s Ministry by Ivy Beckwith

Partnering with Children's Ministries

Our desire in the Sunday activities is to teach children the Word, model a vital relationship with Christ and most importantly, provide resources families can use at home in discipleship. We want parents to know what their children are learning to enable them to incorporate the teaching into their plan for nurturing their child's spiritual life.

We also encourage parents to participate in the Sunday program to enhance their use of the materials and to provide more avenues for communication about the teaching at home. Parents are to be the substitutes for the regular teachers so be ready if you should get a call to help.
