Parenting a child is spiritual formation, designed by God to shape your soul in many wonderful ways. What if one of God’s primary intentions for you as a parent is more than successfully raising perfect children but about you and your family becoming more holy? Rev. Judson Dunlap will lead this six-session video group study & discussion authored by Gary Thomas. We’ll learn how God can use dirty diapers, a toddler’s tantrums, and a teenager’s silence to transform us into parents who reflect the image of Christ. We’ll also share our own parenting wisdom to learn from each other and grow to be the parents God wishes us to be. Participant Guides are $8. Please
contact Judson Dunlap to sign up.
Jonah and the Whale has become a favorite bible story of many people. This spring, our youngest Kids for Christ, ages 3 years through Kindergarten, will explore this biblical classic through fun crafts, songs, and games. They will learn how to listen to God, or better, what can happen if we don’t listen to God! They will also discover God’s great love and grace given to us even when we don’t follow Him and are seemingly undeserving. So, kids, let’s head to Ninevah, together, each Sunday night (Feb. 26th through May 6th) from 5:30 to 7:00 pm. Watch out for hungry WHALES along the way!
Trinity Choir, kids in 1st through 5th grade, will continue their study/practice of Life School Musical to be shared in worship on May 20th.
