PARENT CONNECTION

Faith tools for parents to help grow spiritual connections within the home

 

Prayer and your child

Each time your child attends KidVenture, he or she prays as part of Small Group time - this includes Preschoolers through 5th Graders.  Each child is given the opportunity to share prayer concerns and joys with others in their Small Group.  This important element of KidVenture allows children and leaders to connect with God and one another spiritually.  If you've had the privilege of being a Small Group leader you know just how special this time can be for everyone.

 

Weekly prayer is an awesome thing for kids to experience!  But, regardless of how much a child prays with a church leader or mentor, nothing can compare to the deep and lasting spiritual connection that is created when a parent prays with their child.  Prayer is a special time when we take a moment out of our busyness to have a conversation with God.  Prayer doesn't have to be elaborate or eloquent, it just needs to be sincere and from the heart.

 

Action Steps

This week, make a point of praying with your child at least three times.  Try to be very intentional.  But, intentional doesn't have to mean lengthy and overly structured.  Here are some helpful tips to enhance your prayer life.

Trunk-or-Treat Needs Your Trunk

Trunk-or-Treat will take place on Sunday, October 28 from 4:30-6 pm.  The event will take place rain or shine.  If needed, "trunks" (card tables) will be setup in the Atruim instead of the parking lot. Hosting a trunk doesn't need to be difficult.  Pick a theme, bring treats to give out, and come ready to have a great time!  If you are interested in hosting a trunk, signup this Sunday, October 21 in the Atrium or via e-mail by contacting KidVenture@ConnectWithCalvary.org

 

Operation Christmas Child

Fill a box with school supplies, hygiene items, and small toys to send to a child for Christmas.  Stop by the table in the Atrium on October 28 and November 4 for an information packet or visit www.samaritanspurse.org.  Suggested items are toothbrush, toothpaste, bar soap, washcloth, school supplies, flashlights (with batteries), t-shirts, socks, sunglasses.  Bring boxes back to Calvary on November 11 & 18.  If you'd prefer not to fill an entire box, feel free to bring separate items to the tub at the Atrium table on those dates.
