Let's Plan the PERFECT Party for Paul Bunyan!
"Big Ears and the Blue Ox" is an original interactive concert presentation with brass instruments, drums, and narrator designed for children ages 2 - 10. The concert takes kids on a trip through the Minnesota woods while they help Big Ears the Rabbit build the perfect song for Paul Bunyan's birthday party. Along the way, children learn how to carefully listen for musical concepts like melody, rhythm and harmony while singing and moving their bodies to the music.
Come along with us and join the party!
FREE FAMILY CONCERT!

January is Homelessness Awareness Month. Every week in Chapel Time we will discuss this issue with our Hennepin Kids. Our month of raising awareness will culminate on Sunday, January 28th by celebrating the Sabbath to End Homelessness in the Traditional Worship Service and then the Super Bowl Host Committee sponsored event called, "Bold Hope in the North". This event is a collaboration by the Downtown Coalition to End Homelessness and showcases some of the best local talent that the Twin Cities has to offer!
Every week we will offer a challenge to help families connect with this important issue:
When you don't have access to washing machines, nor many clothes, you make the most with what you have. Today we challenge you to not only wear one outfit all day, but then lay it out neatly tonight and put it back on tomorrow.

Prize Box!
Last Sunday with our Hennepin Kids, when we introduced Homelessness Awareness Month, we talked about what
"DCEH" stands for.
Can your kid remember what it means? If they guess right, they will receive a special prize! (It means "Downtown Coalition to End Homelessness".)

The
Values Project is a year-long initiative designed to equip families to raise children who thrive emotionally, socially, and spiritually. Get inspiration, practical ideas, family activities, and parenting tips from our network of seasoned parents and faith leaders, because it takes a village to raise a good human. Each month we'll explore a different value-like honesty, loyalty, creativity, kindness, and more.
Kevin and Britta Alton reflect on parenting-and what it's like to teach their kids about the value of honesty, even when it means they receive a negative consequence.
Co-written by Kevin & Britta Alton
As the parents of two preteen boys, we've had a rolling social experiment going in our home for right around a decade. It goes like this: something is broken, ruined, misplaced, left out, scratched, or just plain missing. Whatever the item is was not broken, ruined, misplaced, left out, scratched, or lost by one of the parents. This narrows the suspect list significantly, but-despite obvious culpability-we continually run into a mysterious, apparent reality: no one did it.
