Are Your Kids Thriving?

It occur to me recently that nearly every week at church we hear the phrase, "Are you going to Thrive?"  or "Are you thriving?" 

I believe that the same question can be asked of our kids.  The one factor that is different is, they still need to be reminded by you their parents to thrive.  They will and do model what they see us as parents doing.  Bottom line parents, if you are not thriving, it is likely your kids are not!

Not only is it important for your children (age appropriate) to be in the word of God everyday, but...it is EXTREMELY important for your children to be in fellowship.  They need to be at church on Sunday mornings. 

You would be surprised at how many of our kids only attend church once or twice a month!  Now, I know there can be good reasons for that, however there are many more that I know can be at church on a weekly basis. 

We have to ask ourselves, are we making every effort possible to be sure our kids are consistently at church and are they signed up for Kids Quest or Breakout for September so they can THRIVE?  Our kids will do exactly what they see us doing!  Good or bad alike they are little shadows with us!

See you Sunday!

OH WHAT A SLIDE!

Wow!  May 30th was a super slide success!  Thanks to all of you parents who not only encouraged your kids but partnered with them to bring as many as would fit in your car; we had an amazing turn out with eternal impacting results!

 

We had a total of 175 kids who attended our event.  65 of those were first time guest to Champs!  Approximately 16-20 of them raised their hands to accept Christ as their Lord and Savior.  Not bad for the first time out of the shoot and down the slide.

 

It was an amazing evening on every level!  Now Parents, you need to continue to encourage your kids to inivite those same kids to a Sunday Morning service.  Do whatever you can to get them there! 

Just think you and your child had a hand in seeing to it that more souls will be in heaven!  What a reward that is!  Keep up the good work.

Till next time,

I'm slip sliding away,

Pastor Julie
