God Moments
My passion for families grows each year as I work with your children here at Cornerstone. Recently we challenged our elementary kids to read their bibles every day and I was taken aback by the resistance I got from the kids. This was simply a reminder to me that each childs spiritual development can not happen at church alone. On average the most I or the volunteers have to invest in your kids is 40 hours a year. That is not much time to rely on us as the sole teacher of your child’s spiritual lives. Our C-Kids theme Sunday mornings is “first things first” and it is important that you join us as we teach your child(ren) what should be first in their lives. Our relationship with Jesus Christ.
I have heard from parents and kids that ‘we just don’t have time for that’. I agree we do live in a very busy culture and as a result time as a family suffers. The bible tells us “Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.” (Romans 12:2 NLT)
This short video talks about how you can teach your children in todays busy world and it’s importance. Family Role
