Some wise sage has said that "families need to have more fun together" (thanks Case). I think he's right and I have this in mind as I prepare 252 FamilyX. Families do need to have fun together - at church - and I think they can be given meaningful opportunities to learn together too. Spring Creek Church 252 FamilyX is designed to deliver both of these.
252 FamilyX is built around the KidsCreek 252 Virtue theme for the month of May. For kids it will reinforce what they are learning on Sunday and for parents it will be a catalyst for being better informed and prepared for spiritual conversation at home. Typically when families come to church the family is separated. At Church kids are dropped off just as they are at school or daycare during the week and parents head off to their eventual destination for the morning. There are some obvious advantages to having learning environments that are specifically designed for each age and maturity level. However, the downside is that parents often struggle to capitalize on the formative potential of what their children are learning. 252 FamilyX will help to bridge that gap.
I don't know how often or if we'll do the FamilyX experience again but I'm sure that parents who attend will leave having had a great time with their children and primed for spiritual conversation at home.
