For those navigating the rough waters of parenthood we have a new book in the resource center that helps you apply biblical principles in raising your children. Go in and check it out!
Shepherding a Child’s Heart is about how to speak to the heart of your child. Bringing deep biblical principals to the task of parenting and concentrating on what is going on inside a child rather than just their outside behavior.
Have a wonderful week!!!

With the start of the new school year a level of craziness is reached that doesn’t settle down until after Christmas. That’s why I thought it was a great time to challenge you to add something new to your schedule. My challenge is for you to begin a weekly Family Night where everyone in your family is together…no matter what! This may seem impossible to some, but the benefits of making it work are eternal. The influence you have with your children of all ages is enormous. One major obstacle for using this influence is lack of quality time together. Today, right now, pick a night of the week that works for everyone and plan your first Family Night.
You may be pretty excited about the possibilities of having everyone together for a night each week, but then you realize you have no idea what to do. Here are some ideas, although the possibilities are endless:
Take the challenge, begin Family Night this week and watch God work in your family beyond your wildest expectations.
Blessings in Christ,
Greg
There’s so much excitement about this ministry year at New Harvest I can barely contain myself. One new addition I’m particularly excited about is the beginning of KidStuf.
KidStuf is a program- for parents and their elementary age kids - that uses music, drama, dance, and storytelling to entertain and inspire. KidStuf is…
Value Driven - where character and faith are taught by emphasizing a monthly value
User Friendly - where your friends will thank you for bringing them
Creatively Wired - where video, lights, sound, and drama are used to make a lasting impression
Family Centered – where parents and kids spend quality time together
Kid Focused - where learning is fun and relevant for elementary age kids
Volunteer Fueled – where everyone can participate and get connected
The plan is to start KidSuf early in 2009. We’ll be giving periodic updates so stay tuned. In the meantime, check out this KidStuf promotional video so you can see what we have in store for the future at New Harvest Church:
