WHAT IS YOUR CHILD BEING TAUGHT?

As I've said many times, my goal is that families see LSCC as a tool box full of resources designed to help parents take on our spiritual parenting responsibilities.  These responsibilities are clearly spelled out in Scripture.  Deuteronomy 6:4-7 says,

"Hear, O Israel! The Lord is our God, the Lord is one! "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. "These words, which I am commanding you today, shall be on your heart.  "You shall teach them diligently to your sons and shall talk of them when you sit in your house and when you walk by the way and when you lie down and when you rise up."

Psalm 78:5-7 says,

"For He established a testimony in Jacob And appointed a law in Israel, Which He commanded our fathers That they should teach them to their children,That the generation to come might know, even the children yetto be born, That they may arise and tell them to their children,That they should put their confidence in God And not forget the works of God, But keep His commandments"

In order to accomplish this I feel strongly that the church MUST do a better job of training parents to see the church as this resource.  We have established two very important training tools to aid you in your spiritual parenting journey:

1.  Parent Orientation:  P.O. is the perfect introduction to Kids Adventure (LSCC's Children's Ministry).  You'll find out what your kids do each week, resources available to help in your parenting journey, upcoming event dates, and much more.  Our next parent orientation will be held on Sunday, August 28, at 11 a.m. in the SCA school commons.  Email me for more info at kevin.hartman@lscckc.org.  I hope to see you there!

2.  Spiritual Parenting:  This six week class isn't parenting skills 101.  Instead, we'll look at the calling that God has placed on all parents to be the spiritual giant our children need.  This class will cover the ten environments that are used in our weekend curriculum and HomeFront.  The class will be scheduled soon.  This class will begin on September 11, at 9:30 a.m. over in the school commons.  Dr. Michelle Anthony's book "Spiritual Parenting" is our resource and will be available for purchase soon.  More info on this class will be in our weekly bulletin and in handouts at your child's Kids Adventure room.

Finally, I have committed my life to help families become the front line of spiritual trainers for our children.  If there is anything I can do to help you personally please let me know.

Blessings to you as you lead your family!
