Giveaway for Grandparents - or Families - in Your Ministry!

One thing we do for families - including grandparents - is look for resources they can use to pass faith to the children they love. Concordia Publishing House recently invited me to have a giveaway for their Happy Times Magazine which is designed as a tool for parents/grandparents to use to pass faith to preschool age children. Today I'm happy to let you know about this resource which you could share with the families in your ministry.

Happy Times
Published by - Concordia Publishing House
Ages - Preschool

Favorite Features -

• Lots of color - it will capture the attention of little ones
• Filled with stories and activities - it is fun for children to work through with their parents/grandparents
• Parent Talk - guided conversation for parents and grandparents to help connect content to pass on faith

Concordia says; "Packed full of hands-on activities, crafts, and stories that encourage a child’s faith, Happy Times is full of tell me-about-Jesus moments for you to share with your child. Happy Times is created for preschoolers and the adults in their lives. Each bimonthly issue is filled with hands-on activities, crafts, stories and more which encourage a child's faith growth. Children will look forward to activities they can do independently along with projects which need grown up's help. This fun magazine is a wonderful resource to help adults talk to children about Jesus and to guide families in faith growth at home and church. Kids love getting mail, so send them some Happy Times! Only $16.50 for a one-year subscription (6 issues)."
