Families gathered for Family Night Lights February 3rd. Each family decorated a shirt and then went on a scavenger hunt in the Barclay Building. Following the scavenger hunt, families sang praises and learned together about February’s Life Application: Love = Treating others the way you want to be treated.
God created us with the capacity to love. Every time we choose to treat others the way we want to be treated we show others a glimpse into the perfect love God has for each and every one of us.
“This is love: not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.” 1 John 4:10
The first ever #playingforkeeps #everyweekmatters trophy was awarded to the Burkovich family. The purpose of the trophy is to encourage parents that what they are doing with their kids over time matters. As parents are intentional with the time they have in each phase, words become a series of messages that have the potential to guide someone in a different direction, love gives a kid value and worth, and fun breaks down walls and helps relationships go deeper.
The night was filled with a lot of laughter and fun. If you want to see more from the night: check out the website for additional pictures of the night - http://www.hebronkidz.org/#/events
If you couldn’t be there, we missed you and hope you can join us for our next FNL which is Saturday, April 8th, 10am-Noon. We will gather for the Easter Edition of Family Night Lights.
Thanks to everybody who served on February 3rd!
March Hang Time cards are online and in the literature racks. There are activities designed around 5 family values: Fight for the Heart, Widen the Circle, Create a Rhythm, Imagine the End, and Make It Personal.
Below is the March “Widen the Circle” activity.
What does it mean for a parent to “Widen the Circle?” It means parents become intentional about finding spiritual leaders and mentors for their kids; another adult who will say things that reflect what they would say. The older kids get, the more important it is for them to have additional voices in their lives saying the same things as mom and dad but in a different way.
March 9th is National Popcorn Lover’s Day !
Pop some buttery goodness and make treat bags for a few special adults who are significant in your kid’s life. Decorate paper bags together or add a note that says “Popping by to say..” and ask your kids to add something they appreciate about each adult. Stick the note to the bag and drop it off. It’s even more fun to ring the doorbell and run!
