One of the things that I thought about over and over again when wanting to start 252 Basics for our Elementary kids was “are our kids growing in their relationship with Jesus?” I knew they were learning something but I never knew if it was enough. Working in Children’s ministry has helped me to realize the importance of parent involvement with their child’s spiritual growth. We understand that what kids are learning about Jesus at home is far more important than what is learned here at the church. Each week we only have maybe an hour with each child, so our impact can only go so far. One way that we are attempting to help our kids grow beyond Sunday morning is through “Devos” or “God Time Cards”. These are designed to help each child learn more about what they heard on Sunday throughout the week. I think our kids are going to take great strides in their knowledge and understanding of Jesus and how He wants us to live through these times in the week. So parents, if your child is seeking help or direction please help leave a lasting spiritual legacy with your child.
