Hello!
If you're reading this blog, it is probably because you have a preteen (which, like the phrase or not, that is what your 4th and 5th grader is) and are interested in the best possible way to partner with us, your church, in seeing that they have the best chance to know, love and follow Jesus. If that is the case, then you are absolutely in the right place.
The goal of this blog is very simple: to give parents (that's you) another tool to meet your child where they are on their spiritual path as they grow in their relationship with Christ. While church (that's us) is a fantastic place for the body of Christ to gather together, encouage, serve, worship and learn with others, it is not the primary source for the spiritual formation of us as individuals. That source is, and always has been, the home. Not only that, but God has designed for you, the parent, to be the spiritual leaders of that home. Our job is simply to assist you in that process by affirming what you're already teaching and providing the best opportunities for those conversations to happen in a natural way.
So, aside from keeping you in the loop with what we're talking about each weekend in our preteen Bible studies, we'll be providing you with different information, resources and opportunities as you build into your preteen's spiritual formation. Not to mention keeping you up to date with all of the exciting things that are happening within our growing ministry.
Check back often for updates and information. If you haven't yet, please visit the newly designed children's ministry website at lpkids.com and make sure to like us at our lpkids - Firewheel page on Facebook. We look forward to continuing to partner with you and seeing God work in the lives of your 4th and 5th grader.
