Children, Can You Hear Me?

This Sunday is our first second large group of the month, month. Confused. Well every other month we have two Large Group Sundays, March will be our first time. Tab and Jeff Fellman have been teaching the kids about prayer in the regular large group and we are going to continue this in the second large group. It's going to be all about prayer and we will have a Pray Kids! club using some fantastic stuff from The Navigators. But this Sunday we will be reading to the kids, 'Children, Can You Hear Me?' a wonderful book for kids on listening prayer. We will do a prayer activity, a craft and practice listening prayer. Check back here next week for update on what happens this Sunday.

Faith at Home - Take it Home Event.
On March 29, at the 11:00 am service we will be having a Take it Home Event for the Grade 2 kids and their parents. The topic is Family Prayer and parents will receive 'Creative Family Prayer Times' (another wonderful resource from The Navigators). The kids will receive 'Children Can You Hear me?" Although this book is written for kids it has incredible stuff in the back for parents to help them teach their kids and engage them in conversations with Jesus.
It's written by a Canadian, Brad Jersak from Fresh Wind in Abbotsford, B.C.
Wanna read this book? Come, take five, sit on the couch in my office and read it. It will pierce your soul as you hear Jesus speaking to your very heart. I'll probably be weeping as I read some of it to the kids on Sunday. I'm planning on giving my spiritual companion a copy. It's spiritual exercises for kids.
I'm pondering changing the name of Take it Home Events to Equipping the Home.
Reason: Parents haven't connected with Take it Home - they don't 'get it'.
Any thots.

Well there it is. The first blog of my life. It wasn't actually that hard. Hope I did it write!
