We know you’re learning a lot about raising a teenager, so we’d love to learn alongside you. What’s one thing you’ve learned this year that ever parent of a teenager should know? Hit Reply and share your wisdom!

We believe that students aren't just the church of tomorrow, but they are also the church of today. In turn, we must meet them where they are and walk with them on their journey with Christ. So, we decided to start up something new. A Deep Divers class. This class started on Sunday, March 13th, and has seen great engagement. This class is for students interested in going even deeper into understanding faith with a more robust lesson. It's open to any high schooler and we encourage anyone who wants to think more deeply about how faith can be expressed in their lives to attend.

We will begin in the Crossing for announcements before going to our classroom. The current topic we are diving deeply into is Lent and the good news of the Cross.

This month on May 15 & 29, Jeremy and I will be offering a time that I want to invite you as parents/guardians to chat, get to know one another more and pray together. This will happen after Sunday school from 12-12:30. You don't have to stay the whole time, but I hope you will stop in. If you are unable to make it into the building, but still want to connect (which I hope you do), please respond to this email and let me know. I can set up a zoom so we can stay more connected.

I pray you are excited for all that Spring is bringing and all that God is doing in your life.

Celebrating often feels like a fun thing to do when we have extra time, but I would like to make the argument that we would be better off making celebration a priority! There are a million things (big and small) that you have to celebrate as a parent, but often those can feel secondary to all of the responsibilities you have. So let’s pause for a moment and talk about all of the amazing things you can celebrate this week!

Here are some ideas . . .

1. Celebrate the expected. There are a lot of things you do successfully every day. Did everyone leave the house with their teeth brushed? Did they get to the bus on time? Go to sleep well-fed and happy? (Or at least well-fed?) Who cares if these wins are expected? Celebrate when you’re a winner!

2. Celebrate the unexpected. In the last week, what’s one unexpected win you or your family had? Maybe a great conversation, a resolved conflict, or an un-coerced apology? Celebrate that today.

3. Celebrate the unseen. Chances are, you had a recent win no one else could possibly know about. Were you able to stay calm during a difficult conversation, or remember to pray for your family, or not say that thing you really wanted to say? Awesome. Celebrate that.

4. Celebrate their wins. Here’s a fun game to play: call your teenager out for doing something good. It’s a lot more fun than the opposite scenario.

The things we choose to celebrate are most likely to be repeated, so make it a point to celebrate your family’s wins this week.

Parents, you’re doing great. Really. Keep going!

There are amazing conversations waiting to happen in every area of your life. With teenagers, with families, in your job, and with people you haven’t even met yet! Be ready to meet more great people and to talk about more amazing things by watching this short VIDEO and learning 10 useful rules for better conversations!

We're trying to get ahead of the calendar planning so we can make sure everybody has a chance to participate to the utmost! Please take a gander at the potential calendar for NEXT YEAR and give feedback. Understand that we are working with a sizable number of families and will not be able to accommodate everybody on everything, so let's approach this with a sense of excitement and grace. 

Thanks!
