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!

Communication with children can be difficult at times, especially on the topic of human sexuality.
This retreat is designed for 5th and 6th graders and their parents. The Created by God experience emphasizes a healthy biblical and Christian perspective on human sexuality, values, and relationships.

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:
Week One: Sleep
While you may be used to sleeping in a large, comfy bed, many people around the world - including in the US - have no beds. If you are physically able, sleep on the floor tonight with no mattress, no pillow, and no blanket.

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.
In a world full of lying, blaming, and cheating, teaching children about honesty comes best in one form: by example.

It was a parenting moment to remember. While putting away clean laundry, I found the top of an antique dresser freshly marked with a carving. The offending tool, a contorted paperclip, still lay nearby, mocking me. This was going to take more than a little mama spit to fix. It didn't take much sleuthing to find the culprit: the carving was the full name of my middle child. What's a Mama to do?
