Everyone is preparing for Sept. 20th! That is the day our fall classes start for our Christian Eduction at BPC. Today there is a meeting after church for teachers to review curriculum, share ideas, learn how to better manage classrooms, and foster excitement about the coming fall CE classes. Our teachers are eager and the CE committee is looking forward to this coming season of classes. So what about you? How can you prepare for the fall? Here are some ideas:
Invite a friend: Begin to think about a co-worker, friend, family member, or neighbor you can invite. The fall is a great time to invite families to church and the CE classes are a great reason to do it.
Prepare your family: Talk with your kids about what they should expect from CE classes. Ask what they like, what they don’t like, who they can invite, and how they should act. Begin to pray with them and read Bible stories.
Talk to your child’s teacher:Begin a conversation with your child’s teacher and/or the CE committee members to participate fully in your child’s Christian education.
Foster your OWN Christian education:Make sure that your life is one that emulates Christ’s and model the characteristics you want to see in your child’s life. Take time to pray, read, meditate, care for others, be silent, etc. Your child’s Christian education begins with YOUR Christian education.
We are looking forward to the next few weeks! We know you are too! As your family settles in as summer closes, make sure to take time to foster your family Christian education at home during the week. Make time for discussion, prayer, laughter, and modeling. Most of all HAVE FUN!
Fall is a time that is full of busyness with sports schedules, school assignments, work loads, and household chores. It can also be a time for loads of family fun!
Discussion Point:
What is something that your family has done for the fall season? What things do you wish to be doing this fall?
