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.

New Bronx Group

Bronx GroupThere’s a new Everyday Group brewing at Everyday Church! They are toying with the name: “Heart and Mind” (“Love God with all your heart and mind” Matthew 22:37). According to the leaders: “We will focus our discussions on  historical and scientific evidences for belief in God, the authenticity of Christ, the reliability of the Biblical scriptures through the centuries.  Also we want to learn how to have the heart to share our faith through serving others and sharing what we learn.” The first meeting will be on June 5th at 7pm in Riverdale. They will also meet on June 12th, 19th and 28th.
