A sermon for parents

Yesterday, Pastor Farrell delivered a great message about parents' relationship with their children from Colossians 3.

"Living in relationship with Jesus Christ must positively enhance and impact our relationships with others."

"Parents are directed to build discipline and encouragement into their children." Colossians 3:21, Ephesians 4:6

Online Chore Chart

Do your children have chores to do around your house?

Do they get an "allowance"?

How do you keep track of their work on the chores?

One of the parents at our Community Group shared this website with us on Friday. www.myjobchart.com

This looks like it could be a great tool for families who might be looking for a way to help track chores.

Thanks Mario!

Do you have to be as tech savvy as your kids are with the internet?

A parent from our church shared this blog post with me today. It is a great article about living in a culture where our kids may know about technology than we do and what we need to do about it. I think you may be surprised at Jon Acuff's recommendation.
