Easter Egg Hunts and the Wondrous Truth About Jesus

“He is not here, but He has risen. Remember how He spoke to you while He was still in Galilee, saying that the Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.” And they remembered His words. Luke 24:6-8 When adults participate in Easter egg hunts, a hiding place must be picked with great care: deep in the bushes, cleverly disguised in a colorful flower bed, or high up on a tree branch.

What Does Being Active in Your Child’s Faith Really Look Like?

Hi, Mom, here's some interesting news I wanted to share with you: I recently Googled “how to engage parents in children’s ministry.” I found articles that suggested these roles for parents in children’s ministry: drivers event planners Facebook facilitators host homes greeters But did you notice?

9 Creative Ways to Kid-Proof Your Love Life

@mixetto  |  iStock One of the oldest running jokes in the world is how kids put a halt to romance. And believe me, I get the joke. The distraction and prohibition begin with the last trimester of your first pregnancy and end when your youngest child leaves home. That’s very likely more than a couple decades. What you need is a plan. A plan for making time for romance even though you’re both a little tired, you’re both a little distracted, and all your extra cash is already going for ... [keep reading]

Do Your Children Have Chores? If Not, Why Not?

If you let a toddler wash a mirror with you, he will leave streaks. If you ask a child to take out the trash, she’ll likely forget to gather it from one room or another. If you ask a teenager to mow the grass, he’ll probably rush through it and miss spots. It’s much easier just to do what needs to be done yourself. In the long run, assigning chores to your kids will help you. You’ll have to be patient as you teach them how to do the work right, but if you are consistent and instructive, it ... [keep reading]
