Welcome Parents and Families to our new blog dedicated to keeping you informed about all things related to Children's Ministry at StoneBridge!
I hope that this tool will be another avenue for us to be in partnership with you in the Spiritual growth of your children. I know full well that your job is a big one. Just when you think you've mastered one phase of life with your kids, another one starts...and that's if you had only one child. Juggling the ever changing phases when you have a brood is another thing altogether. Through this
blog, I hope to encourage you, be encouraged by you (your comments and questions are welcome!), keep you informed on what God is leading us to teach your kids on Sundays, and maybe even make your job a little lighter...even if that happens just because you know you're not alone in the process.
The journey through parenthood is a wild ride-sometimes a roller coaster, other times a bumper car, with the occasional day on an easy merry-go-round...but at least you're not riding it alone.
So...let's get started!
This Week's Announcements:
- Sunday, Sept. 1st: Since it is Labor Day weekend, all children in 1st-5th grade will attend the adult service with parents. Children in Kindergarten and under will go to rooms as usual.
- Sunday, Sept. 8th: This is our new projected date to kick off in our new space. If this date sticks, we will do an open house/orientation to the new space, and we will promote (finally!) all the kiddos who have been sticking it out all summer. PLEASE STAY TUNED TO ANNOUNCEMENTS FOR CONFIRMATION ON THIS OPENING DATE.
What God is teaching us:
- 2's/3's and Preschool/Kindergarten will hear and experience the story of Jonah this week. (9/1)
*In future blogs, you will find a link to open a copy of the previous week's curriculum.
What kids are saying:
"I know I'm God's favorite...but so are you!" (One 6 year old to another while playing with Legos)
Today your parenthood ride may be bumpy, crazy, scary, or just plain fun. I hope that whatever you're experiencing today, that you know one thing for sure...
God chose YOU to parent your children. He thinks you've got what it takes (and more) to take care of His special creations. He is with you in the que-line of every ride you'll take, He is on the ride with you, and when the ride is over...He says, "you did it!"
I am just thrilled that I get to be somewhere on the ride with you! And by the way, occasional screaming is allowed.
Penny
