January 29 Parent Forum 11:30am

Join us this Wednesday to kick -off our new series on Identity!

Everyone is searching for self-worth and value. We can base our identity on what people think or what God sees.

This is a three-week series about healthy identity, exploring the first three chapters of Paul's letter to the Ephesians.

Week 1: True You - Ephesians 1:1, 3-5 

Big Idea: You aren’t what people think, you are what God sees. 

Week 2: Rescued You - Ephesians 2:1, 3-5, 7; Acts 9:1-6

Big Idea: Jesus makes you a part of God’s masterpiece.

Week 3: Always You - Ephesians 3:17-19

Big Idea: You can’t do anything to make God love you more, and you can’t do anything to make God love you less.

January 29^th at 11:30 am at Marion Methodist Church, Room 100.

GENEROSITY CHALLENGE

Generous acts are easier than you think and can look like: sharing kind words, sharing your resources, providing donations, sharing your abilities, providing your time to serve, and more. Use the Generosity Challenge to practice being generous as a family. 



Your family can use the Generosity Challenge by:

• Putting the list in a place your whole family can see (the fridge, a mirror, in the car, etc.).
• Making a list of resources and abilities your family has to give to others.
• Going through the chart all month long and randomly choosing an action.
• Note: Don’t feel pressured to do this daily. You can choose a column or row or go through the chart in whatever way fits your family’s natural rhythm.
