"Parents are the key faith developers for their children - they can have either a positive or negative impact on their kids' faith growth. But either way, they'll have the biggest impact. You can have strong faith-shaping programs at church, but if you're not partnering with homes, you risk producing kids who have weak faith."
Ben Freudenburg - Family Friendly Church
One of the greatest assets our Children & Family Ministry has are our parents and guardians. It is a priority for us to help equip all parents on this Christian parenting journey. We are thrilled to provide a monthly newsletter called The Parent Link. This resource is geared for families with children age two to sixth grade and will be sent via email or will be available to download from the church website.
The Parent Link, is filled with age-relevant topics and Bible-based content. Each month you’ll find new ideas to enrich your parenting journey through Parenting Insights, Power Source, Open the Book and a Family Experience. A fact-finding page is included that will share What’s Playing in the Movies, What Music is Releasing, What Games are Out, Culture & Trends, and some Quick Stats on a question that today’s families are grappling with. Boy, will your kids think you are hip when you know the latest scoop on what’s hot!
This is another way we can partner with families to raise kids in the faith. A few paper copies will be available outside of Sharon’s office.
Partners in Ministry,
Sharon Stratmoen
