KiDS Weekly Experience Guide & Parent Cue: week of September 20th
Parents, we love partnering with you to help your kids take their next steps of faith and we hope that the parent cue is a tool that you will find helpful as you lead your family. Beginning this week, we have reorganized the information on the parent cue to create a step by step process for working through the information with your kids. Whether you are joining us at home or you are looking for a way to review what your kids learned at church this week, you can use these steps to lead your kids.
In addition, we want to make you aware of one more awesome tool that we have to help you review with your kids during the week. Sign up to receive the Northridge Kids text blasts and we will text you a weekly question to discuss as a family. These questions are designed to get your whole family talking and to help your kids apply what they learned. Click here to learn more and sign up.
