Parents Week

Help parents contribute to their child’s spiritual development!

God tells parents to raise their children in the Word so they’ll have it for all time (Deuteronomy 6:4-7). Yet, many parents let the church assume the main role in their child’s spiritual growth. Though changing that pattern won’t happen overnight, the more ways we find to involve parents the better!

Download and send a parent letter home to a mom, dad or primary caregiver. The letter explains Pass the SALT, asks them to help their child learn and invites parents to club the following week.

The Awana parent brochure really helps parents get involved. Give the brochure out either on club night or send it home with kids. Attach church contact information to the brochure for parents to learn about spiritual development. Parents of returning Awana kids could even share the brochure with new parents.

Parents are critical in children’s spiritual development—God planned it that way! As you help boys and girls come to know, love and serve Jesus Christ, think about how you can help parents fulfill their role in their children’s lives.
