Kids Meals@Home
Hey parents! Pickup in Kidsville your Meals@Home conversation placemats for the kids, the “Family Dinner Chatterbox” (no…that’s not one of your kids!) and family ideas for making meal time quality family time. Did you know that the average parent spends 38.5 minutes per week in meaningful conversation with their children? That that family dinners are more important than play, story time and other family events in the development of vocabulary of younger children? More importantly the dinner table is great place to have intentional faith talks with your child because faith begins at home. So pick up these resources that you can use at home in Kidsville today!

Teen Meals@Home
Thank you to those of you who attended or helped make All Start Parents happen. We had a great family meal around the table and a great workshop after! Families who attended walked away with some great resources: Our Meals@Home (Teen Edition) placemat with some discussion starters, a Chatter Box, a recipe card parent & teen activity, and handouts sharing the benefits of family meal times. Extra of these Meals@Home (Teen Edition) packets are available at Connections Corner for you to use as resources for your family!

What about teens and mealtime? Meal time is beneficial as time to check in with teens, making it easier to spot a problem before it gets out of hand—whether it’s through conversation or noticing changes in your teen’s behaviour. Regular healthy meals can also help to manage teens’ stress. In today’s busy world, the family can relax and be together to share what’s happening in daily life.

If you’re looking to take some “next steps” here at Lewisville, we have a few opportunities coming up! If you would like to be baptized, there’ll be an opportunity coming up in the very near future. Pastor Gord would love to hear about your plans to take this exciting step, so be sure and let him know. HOWEVER: Don’t forget to fill out a Connections Card in your bulletin (or grab one at Connections Corner) to let us know you’re interested and provide a way to contact you! Just drop it in the offering plate or leave it with a Connections Team member.

(For more information any time, feel free to contact the church office.)

Can You Help CBM?
We’re asking for your help…one of our Global Field Staff (missionary) families will be in Canada this summer and is looking for housing in the Moncton/Fredericton/St. John areas. This family of 5 (2 adults, 3 children ages 5-13, 2 girls, 1 boy) needs housing in the following areas while here in Canada and speaking in local churches:

In the Moncton area May 10-21
In the Fredericton/St. John area July 1-23

If you, or someone you know, will be away at the cottage or on vacation and would appreciate having someone “house-sit” this could be a great arrangement. Please contact Barb at CBM (905-821-3533 x.122) for more information or to discuss an option you may be able to propose.

CBM Prayerline
CBM Prayerline is the replacement for the former monthly Direct Link Prayer Network which highlighted the prayer requests and praise items from the various CBM Global Field Staff. Prayerline has taken on a different format and is now a weekly newsletter. See the Missions bulletin board for the latest editions.
