Parents Stand with their Children before the Lord

There is much hype these days that parents have turned over the primary spiritual education of their children to the church. That may have been true in the recent past, but there is a huge mind shift happening in parents today. The church is supporting and encouraging them to be the primary teacher of their children. Churches only get a very small number of minutes with children each week. Parents have them for the many hours that they are not in school. You, as parents, are perfectly positioned to carry out,

Deuteronomy 11:18-20
Fix these words of mine in your hearts and minds; tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Teach them to your children, talking about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates,


Rolling Hills Covenant Church Children's Ministries understand that our ministry is not just to your children, but to you. We want to be volunteers in your Children's Ministry. We are committed to providing you with tools and support to help you with the spiritual development of you child. We understand as a church that strong parents and families lead to stronger spiritual champions in your children.

Take advantage of the resources we have for you. Join marriage and parenting workshops and series. Come as a family to Bible Study during the week. Use the weekend lessons your children have learned as a spring board to go deeper with God as a family. We offer you a tool online that shares weekend lessons and enrichment suggestions you can do at home. http://tiny.cc/vdpOP

This January we will begin the Bible Institute on Tuesday nights. There will be several classes to choose from while your children attend LINKED. Consider making Tuesday night a night your family is committed to come together and grow in knowledge of the Lord.

We are excited about the change we see here at RHCC. So many families are committed to the spiritual development of their children and furthering their own walk. I am proud to be part of this church. You are standing with your children before the Lord.

Bless you all
Brenda
