One of our desires at Liquid Kids is to see the family strengthened by what we're sharing with your kids. While we're experiencing many changes here at Liquid Kids, one thing remains the same: our mission to share Christ's love with children and help them experience Him through everything we do.
I was listening to a message from Reggie Joiner about the responsibility we have as leaders in children's ministry to invest what we're doing in the small amount of time we get to spend with your children into the much larger amounts of time you as parents get to spend with them.
Check this out, parents: on average, you have more than 10 times the opportunities to discuss spiritual issues with your kids in one year than we do in 10 years.
That's HUGE! So, with that in mind, our responsibility as a church is to invest in that time because we have comparatively limited potential to impact your children for Christ. So, in a lot of ways, what happens at home is far more important than what happens at church.
At Liquid Kids, we've got a great team of volunteers who love sharing Jesus' love with your kids, but without your help, we're almost completely ineffective! We need YOU!
Here are ways that you can help us turn Liquid Kids into an effective program.
1. Bring your kids to Liquid Kids.
This seems like a bit of a no-brainer, but if you really think about it, without consistently bringing your kids into our program, they won't be able to receive the full impact of our program. From the progression of their lessons to the relationships they're building with their mentors and teachers, they're gaining so much just by being at Liquid Kids.
2. Make attending Liquid a priority.
Being at church as often as possible gives your children something consistent to observe in your life. They'll see how important it is for you to be at church, and that will translate into their making it a priority in their own lives.
3. Talk about church at home.
Believe it or not, you and your children can really learn from each other's experiences at church. Whether you're discovering something about a Bible story that you didn't previously know (Did you know what a coney was or that it was forbidden for the Israelites to eat one?) or teaching your child a slightly deeper concept from Scripture, a lot can be gained from interacting with your children at home.
We offer you material every week as you pick up your children. These cards are great ways to engage your kids during the week and help them apply the lessons they learned on Sunday to the rest of the week.
Once again, thanks so much for sharing your kids with us. We love sharing Jesus with them!
