New Teaching Series: Bonsai & Wildflowers

Just how much influence should we exert on our kids? Are our children bonsai trees we must be prune and force into the right shape? Or are they wildflowers?

Expect some surprises in this series. For example, while many people think wildflowers are the easiest thing to grow, gardeners know better. If you just scatter seeds, then you get weeds. To grow a beautiful flower garden, you have to work on the soil.

This is a series about parenting, but it’s bigger than that. What Scripture teaches about how to raise healthy, faithful sons and daughters applies to a number of our relationships. Whether it’s our kids, nieces and nephews, students, small group participants, or neighbors, it’s important to understand God’s way of cultivating faith.

Pray For US: An Update From Wendy

Everyday KidzEveryday Church exists to make disciples of Jesus. That’s also the mission of our Everyday Kidz ministry. During this teaching series the elementary students are memorizing Hebrews 13:5-6, “God has said, ‘Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.’ So we say with confidence, ‘The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid.‘”

Let’s pray together, “Lord, give us confidence in your love and protection. Help us to not be afraid but instead to trust in you. We pray this for ourselves and for our children.” Amen.

Everyday Kidz: Tales of the Not Forgotten

Tales of the Not ForgottenBring the little ones in your life for this enriching new series based on the real-life Tales of the Not Forgotten.

According to Family Life Minister Wendy: “This series will spark an interest in your kids to consider God as their Storyweaver, someone who has seen where they have been and has plans for where they are going. Kids will wonder about a world bigger than the community they are a part of and become curious how they can connect with that world. After kids hear stories of people’s lives woven together by the Storyweaver, we’ll ask questions like, ‘How do I pray?’, ‘What can I give?’, ‘Where can I go?’ and ‘Who will I serve?'”

Everyday Kidz provides age-appropriate spiritual experiences for children, from infants thru 6th Grade, every Sunday as part of our Teaching Services. For more information, check out our Services page, or contact Wendy (Email her, or call 646-290-7779).
