As long as you don’t quit there’s always hope! -Dave Crandall #WhatParentsFace

  1. Your job as a parent never ends, it just transitions.
  2. Admit mistakes from yesterday, but embrace opportunity today.
  3. Stop trying to control, start building influence.
  4. Commit them to God and pray for them always.
  5. Wouldn’t you rather have your child walking down the path of God’s blessing than the one of your choosing?

#SummerAtFriendship got a little crazy with some beach ball action!

Kids Zone: Take It Home With You!

What We Learned:

Jesus Gives Me a Clean Start! Saul lived to hunt down followers of Jesus—his mission in life was to bring back believers of Christ to Jerusalem in chains. But then he met Jesus face to face, and his whole world changed! Saul believed in Jesus and chose to follow him. Jesus gave even Saul a CLEAN START, and Jesus can give us a CLEAN START, too!

In The Car:

Share with your kids about a time when you thought you did something unforgivable. How did Jesus show you that he still loved you? Did you have someone in your life to tell you what Jesus says to us in the Bible about his love and forgiveness.

At Bedtime:

Pray with your kids and help them ask forgiveness for wrong things they have done. Ask God to give them a clean start and to get rid of any guilt or ashamed feelings they might be hanging onto. Thank God for giving us freedom and joy when we choose to follow him!
