Family TALK March 29

View this email in your browser We want to partner with you in creating a gospel-centered foundation.  So this E-newsletter keeps you in the "Know" with what is happening in the Children's Ministry of  Immanuel.  Feel free to respond back with questions or suggestions.  If you would like to be removed let us know that as well. Sunday night, children 5yrs thru 5th grade will make lasagnas for the home-bound of Immanuel Church, while they learned about kindness. Come and spread kindness as a family and get these meals where they need to go. · Meet at the church at 1:00pm on Saturday, March 28 · Grab meals and off you go, spreading kindness and sharing in the fun! (addresses will be packaged with the meals)   We have all heard it said or have had it said to us "use self-control".  But what is it, and what does it look like?    The Bible tells us in Proverbs 25:28 "Like a city whose walls are broken down is a man who lacks self-control".   Self-control helps us say no to wrong and yes to what God wants.  These houses (pictured above) were an illustration of how God uses self-control to protect and build/grow fruit in us. Next time your child enters a candy aisle and you say "use self-control" remind them of these houses.  We all have a choice to either say YES (protected and strong) or NO (broken and exposed) to what God wants.  The more we allow God to help us use self-control the quicker and more effectively we will live out of the other "fruit of the Spirit".  Lets make God look attractive to others watching and use self-control. Titus 2:10 Last month's issue emphasized that love means nothing unless we put it into action. Jesus loves us so much he sacrificed everything—including his very life—on the cross. Then he rose again to give us new life. That glorious Easter message is the best news we can share with our kids—and the world around us. God did something incomprehensible because of his unfailing love. His resurrection opens the door to heaven. As parents, we can put this big, abstract concept in understandable bites. But kids of all ages can understand the gospel, as well as what it means to make their own sacrifices to God. Use the tips provided in this months newsletter to talk about Easter with your kids.
