Don't Let Covid Stop Children From Growing in Their Walk with God

The past eight months have been difficult. Some of you may have caught covid. Some of you may have people you love who have battled with this disease. Some of you may have people you love who died due to covid. The children in your church have likely learned what it means to go to school "virtually". You, and the ones you love, may have experienced times of unemployment. Most of the families in your church, if not all of them, have likely not been to church in eight months - and this is likely true for the ones you love as well. If you have been able to return to church, it is extremely possible the Children's Ministry has not restarted - or if it has, it has done so in an extremely limited way.

If parents and grandparents in your church are focused upon handing down confident faith, then the children they love have likely been able to continue to grow in their walk with God. But, if church is the primary place where children learn about God and why they are able to believe in Him and trust Him with confidence, then it is very possible it has been eight months since they have been able to learn and grow in their walk with Him. Clearly, this is not what we want to see happen.

It does not have to continue to be this way. Please decide today to use the "Life on the Goldilocks Planet" series with the families in your church. I have cut the price for the digital versions of this series to make it very easy - and affordable for churches to use this with their families. All you have to do is email me, and for just $1 per family, per digital book ($3 per family for the combined book), you are able to get a digital license to use this series to help equip parents and grandparents to hand down confident faith. As a church, you will be able to encourage families to work through the books together - one animal and activity a week. As families participate, you will be able to connect through email to encourage and celebrate what everyone is learning! Please contact me to do this - my email is - lyndagcj@gmail.com and get this started in your church. Do not let covid stop the handing down of confident faith to the next generation - instead use it to equip parents and grandparents so they are the ones focused upon doing this vital thing with the children they love!
