PARENTING RESOURCES AND TOOLS
HomeFront Weekly cards are provided as a parent resource with each week’s lesson which will be handed out in KidQuest and FirstLook, placed on the KidQuest table in the foyer and available for download on the children’s ministry resource page at www.wentzvillecc.org/children. The difference between a HomeFront Weekly card and a GodTime/FridgeDoor or Small Talk card is that the HomeFront card is not a review of the past week in KidQuest or FirstLook; it is an introduction to the next week in KidQuest and FirstLook. This resource is designed to help parents intentionally spend time in God’s Word with their children before coming to church each week. The cool part is this: parents are first to introduce their kids to the Bible content they will hear at church. In this way, the church is supporting parents as they spiritually nurture their child.
There are three sections on the HomeFront Weekly: inspire, equip, and support. The first two sections are for parents to read on their own. They give the vision for the Scripture story as well as some background on it. The third section gives parents ideas for a practical setting where they can read God’s Word with their kids.
HomeFront Monthly is a resource you will receive for parents every four weeks. This is a magazine-like publication stuffed with great ideas about how to create spiritually forming times in the home. It has articles and activities on everything from marriage to family, and food time to blessing. This resource is all about equipping parents with really practical ideas about how to create space for the Holy Spirit to spiritually form their kids.
Remember, this isn’t about doing more; it’s about framing the things parents naturally do with some space for God to work.
HomeFront Monthly ties to the lessons and HomeFront Weekly through the common thread of the Environment. Therefore, there is only one HomeFront Monthly for both FirstLook and KidQuest with ideas for engaging both age levels. This is also where you will find the children’s remember verses. They will be learning one verse over four weeks to help them truly hide God’s Word in their hearts.
We hope you will find both of these HomeFront Resources to be life-changing for you as they intentionally create space for God to meet with your family in brand new ways.
