Family TALK May 25th

			KEEP ACTIVE THIS SUMMER Welcome to summer! For many of you, the next few months will be filled with travel, adventure and increased opportunities to spend time together as a family. As you begin to think about and plan how you will spend the next few months, we’d like to present you with the Summer Family Activity Book. It is a family resource that gives you ideas on how to be intentional with the time you spend together this summer.   There is a charge given in the book of Deuteronomy to continually and intentionally talk with children about what it means to love God with all they are—no matter where they are, no matter what they’re doing: Click HERE to check it out.  Or download attachment
		FOR YOUNGER KIDS Summer offers children a number of opportunities for learning and growing, for having new experiences and developing new skills. But many of those experiences are intended for older kids, leaving toddlers and preschoolers at home or on the sidelines with Mom. While you may not be able to send your littlest ones to soccer lessons or horse camp, you can still make summer special for them by providing new experiences and sensations at home. Here are a few ideas to try:  Click HERE
