In years gone by, we've heard the Christmas story from the side of Joseph, Mary, the shepherds, wise men, and even the inn keeper. But this year we are going to pull back the veil and peer into the Creator's workshop to see Christmas from Heaven's perspective. This first week we explore why Jesus came.

We like the new shiny... the new gadget, the new trendy clothes, the hip new coffee house. We pursue the shiny. When we look at scripture, we begin to see that we are supposed to be the shiny - that special something that draws people in to relationship with God. Learning to live a life of shiny is a mandate we all have as Christians.

Parenting is chock full of questions that range from how to handle shared parenting when mom and dad aren't together to when to have the "sex talk" with your kids. While the answers may be simply spoken, they are not simple to live out. Join us as our pastors take the stage to answer parenting questions from the congregation.

Kids need so much from their parents to help them develop into adults who are healthy mentally and physically and growing spiritually and relationally. But what do the parents need to be able to help them do this? There are 5 things every parent needs to be able to parent their children from a place of wholeness.

Since service has been cancelled for today to prepare for the transition to the new building, our Pastor has recorded a short devotional on 1 John 3:11-18. In this devo, he shares how when you love God, your love for people will abound with the natural result being that we serve the world.

We don't know much about Jesus as a child, but we do know from Luke 2:52 that he grew mentally, physically, spiritually, and socially. As parents we couldn't pray for anything greater for our kids than that. But after we pray, what else are we responsible to provide our children? Today we will discuss the 5 things every kid needs.

Because parenting is so

stressful, it is hard to resist the temptation to respond emotionally to

our children when they misbehave. Is it possible to achieve scream-free

parenting? It is when you realize you cannot control your kids, but you

can control yourself.

Parenting is one of the most frustrating roles in life. It is one that is rife with many questions and very few answers. Can we successfully put together the puzzle pieces of our kid's lives that will help them become a healthy, mature individual? The answer is yes, but we must start with firm relational foundations.
