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.

Camp Wallaballa is a fun musical about a group of children going to church camp.  On the way to camp, they are sidetracked because the bus breaks down, but during this “speedbump” on the road, they learn some of God’s promises.

Featuring a family-friendly kids musical production by our own Wee Worship Choir, entitled “Camp Wallaballa“.

Of course there always have to be refreshments after a race….. so you’ll be able to refuel before you head home.

Can’t wait to see you at the Finish Line!  Come cheer the kids on as they make their final lap!

Don’t miss it!

Description: No matter how your family functions (or dysfunctions) we’ve all got things that make our families unique and yet universal.  In this series we’ll be talking about all the dynamics that make up family relationships and how they serve as a template for the way we function as a church.  Join us as we open the Bible to see what God has to say about family!
