Family Traditions

Christmas is a time of tradition...family...reflection...celebration.

Why not begin a new family tradition this Christmas season! Go here http://bit.ly/7s2ovi to download a family advent calendar. Advent is the season leading up to Christmas.

Just think... in only 5 minutes a day you can instill the real meaning of Christmas into your kids' minds.

What are some of your family traditions? elf on a shelf? Christmas Eve dinners?

PowerJam notes from 11/8/09


COOPERATION is the virtue for November in PowerJAM! Wouldn't we all like our kids to cooperate a little more...with homework, cleaning their rooms, behaving, etc.

This month, we are focusing on cooperating with others, to work together to do more than you can do alone.

Challenge your kids this week to look for ways to help somebody succeed. Just like Aaron and Hur helped Moses in Exodus 17:8-13.

Use these questions to start some conversations in your family this week:
  • What are some things that get in the way of us helping others succeed? (Our selfish motives, jealousy, etc.)
  • Why do you think it is important to God for us to cooperate and help others succeed?

Monthly Memory Verse: “Two people are better than one. They can help each other in everything they do.” Ecclesiastes 4:9, NIrV
