The Story of Hope 2012 & Children

http://www.springcreekonline.com/

2012 is going to be a very memorable year for Spring Creek Church.  Click on the website to see all that's going on.

Though the The Story of Hope series is primarily for our adults I want parents to take their children along on the adventure.  Here are some ways to do just that.

During the year I'll be posting and providing weekly family guides to spark family conversations about the weekly messages.  Mom and Dad, you will hear the message in "big" church and in your Life Group and then take that message home and relay it to your children.  The family guides will be designed to help you follow up what you heard with conversations at home.

I've also prepared a resource list of books, Bibles, and websites that you should consider using with your children.  Here they are:

  • Infants & toddlers:  Lulla Bible: Baby’s First Bible Stories & Songs by Stephen Elkins (includes Lullaby CD)
  • Preschool & young elementary:  The Jesus Storybook Bible by Sally Lloyd Jones
  • Preschool & young elementary:  Read ‘n’ See DVD Bible by Stephen Elkins (includes DVD)
  • Mid to upper elementary: NIV (NIRV) Adventure Bible by Zonderkidz
  • Upper elementary: The Action Bible by David C. Cook
  • Elementary: What the Bible is All About Handbook for Kids by Blankenbaker & Mears
  • Bible Stories for Kids & more:  http://essex1.com/people/paul/bible.html
  • Bible Stories for Kids: http://biblestudy.pppst.com/bible-stories-for-kids.html
The books & Bibles can be purchased online at www.amazon.com or www.christianbook.com.

We will continue our normal Sunday structure and lessons in KidsCreek and continue to provide Parent Cue's for family talks at home.  As always the more we combine our efforts and energy the more we'll accomplish.  It's going to be a great year and I hope you're all in!
