Seeds Family Worship is a wonderful resource for memorizing scripture as a family. Summer is a great time to take on a little memory work as a family. Seeds Family Worship is a way to experience God’s Word through music. We wanted to share with you how to use the music and free website resources to make the most of scripture memory.
Start by going to www.seedsfamilyworship.com/
Once you are at the site choose a theme; The Character of God, The Power of Encouragement, Seeds of Character, Seeds of Purpose, Seeds of Praise, Seeds of Faith, Seeds of Courage and Purity.
Last summer my family chose The Power of Encouragement, and this summer we are listening to Seeds of Courage.
Take the next step. You can do more than just listen to the music, download the Memory Cards! Under Resources you will find every song has a memory card. You can print these off with the check list. 
This picture is of our work station above the children’s art table.
I hope this information is helpful for your family as you discover ways to experience God’s Word together.
Growing in Grace, Holli
Today we wrapped up “A Taste of Secret Church”; 4 weeks of using material from past year’s gatherings during our 9am spiritual formation class for adults. There is a ton of good material archived at the Secret Church website.

“To embrace the ascension is to heave a sigh of relief, to give up the struggle to be God (and with it the inevitable despair at our constant failure), and to enjoy our status as creatures: image-bearing creatures, but creatures nonetheless.”
—N.T. Wright, Surprised by Hope
On April 11th and 12th Children’s Ministry hosted a parenting conference based on the book Spiritual Parenting by Michelle Anthony. We used her DVD conference series as the basis for the two day conference and had a wonderful crowd. Because of the amount of time we structured at the conference in April there were portions of the series that we were unable to get to. Also for families who were unable to come we are offering Spiritual Parenting as a Sunday morning Adult Education course in June, at 9am.
June 8: There will be a review of what spiritual parenting is and watch a portion of the introduction so anyone who missed the conference is able to feel comfortable in the class. Discussion will also include; making a “mission statement” for your family, parenting with Grace.
June 15th: Creating the Environment of SERVICE conference session and discussion. *This portion was not covered during the conference.
June 22nd: Creating the Environment of OUT OF THE COMFORT ZONE conference session and discussion. *This portion was not covered during the conference.
June 29th: During this session we will cover from the book;
- Love and Respect: As aptly explained in 1 Corinthians 13, faith without love is empty. This environment of love and grace enables kids to receive and give grace. Children must be respected because they are made in the image of God.
- Knowing: It is critical that our kids know and our known by God. It is important that, in this world which denies the existence of absolute truth that we model our belief in God’s truth.
- Modeling: Kids learn what they see. We must model an active and transforming faith for our kids.
If you attended the conference in April, you already have a binder that was prepared for you with all of the sessions, there is no need for you to register for this class. If you were not at the conference and would like a binder with the class materials please contact Harmony (kids@christcommunitychurch.com) to register and have a binder prepared for you. The cost is $6 per binder of materials.
