Parent Lab

We know that parenting can be hard, stressful, and frustrating - as much as it can be amazing, rewarding, and life-giving. Here at South Lansing Christian Church we want to equip you by:

  • Giving you helpful resources to use immediately.

  • Encouraging you as you parent in today's modern culture

  • Connecting you to a community of parents who are in the same situations as you.

This is not a "you need to be a better parent" kind of event. Parent Lab exists to come alongside you as you raise your children in the community and Kingdom of God. Join us for teaching, conversation, and collaborative Q&A.

Child Dedication

We know parents and caregivers are their children’s primary faith influence and want to encourage, assist, and challenge you in that role. When the church and family work together, we make a bigger impact in kids’ lives! Our child dedication is a chance to make a public declaration to work to raise your child to be a follower of Christ and for the church to commit their support.

After the sermon, we will introduce and pray for all the families participating.

If you are interested in participating, please email greta@seekstudyserve.org

Kids' City Closed for Serve Day

Sunday, April 28th in Serve Day. We will meet at the church at 10am for a short gathering (probably about 15 minutes) of songs, communion, and prayer. Then we will go into our community and serve. Because of the short gathering, Kids' City will be closed.

We encourage you to find a serving opportunity where your kids can serve too.

  • The projects at City Rescue Mission and Advent House are not ones children can help with.

  • Closely-supervised children can help at Homeless Angels. Please be aware children should not be left unattended, particularly girls. Homeless Angels provides services to anyone in need, including people whose language or choices could be troubling to children who are easily upset. Please take your own child into account when deciding whether or not to serve here.

  • Children can help with The Good Neighbor Initiative. Possible projects include yard work and minor home repairs.

  • Other ideas for serving with younger children include checking if a nearby neighbor would like help with yard work, picking up trash along a favorite walking route, or making and delivering cards for someone who is not able to leave home often, residents in a senior home, or someone in the hospital

PARENTS LAB

PARENTS LAB

Have you ever seen the hashtag #nofilter on a social media post? It's the idea that the picture has not been affected, changed or shaped by a filter. Though many posts claim to have #nofilter, all people young and old alike have a filter they view all of life through. The filter is faith. Your faith affects, changes and shapes how you see yourself, others and life. Faith is the filter your children and students will choose their thoughts, decisions and actions through. You're invited to join us and our parenting panel for a discussion on how to foster an authentic faith in your home.   

#nofilter! Josh tried making a cup of coffee with an Aeropress WITHOUT a filter. Yikes.

#nofilter! Josh tried making a cup of coffee with an Aeropress WITHOUT a filter. Yikes.

We believe that the two influences of church and home combined have a greater impact on your student's faith development. Their faith is vital because faith is the filter that students view themselves, God and others through. You're invited to join us and our parenting panel for a discussion on how to foster an authentic faith in your home. 

Childcare will be offered, but we need to adequately prepare, so please RSVP with the number of adults and children who will be attending with you!

Family Worship Service

On Sunday, July 31st our worship service will look a little different. There will be more kids in the big room than most other Sundays! In Kid's City, The Aquarium and Zoo will be open for babies and toddlers, but the K-5th rooms will be closed for the morning. Why? There's several reasons.

  • First, we want to create time for families to worship together.
  • Second, Josh and Walter, our Children's and Youth ministers are going to share South's vision for partnering with families to raise godly kids.
  • Finally, the annual church picnic will be right after the service and Kid's City Park will be used as a staging area to prepare for this event. We're expecting a big crowd, we've invited our SLCC family and friends from the community! 

If you have younger children, we believe it's vital for you to explain the different elements of the worship service to them as they participate with you. We will have activity totes at the Kid's City Check In Station for you to pick up. These will have various activities for them to engage in while listening to the sermon. 

Our hope is to create space and time for your family to worship together and share our hearts on partnering with families!

With summer quickly approaching and graduations happening even now, we want you to know about what's happening on June 5th, our Graduation Sunday!

If your child will be graduating from 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 5th grade, they will be moving up to the next class, starting on Sunday, June 5th.  If you have a 5 year old who will be starting Kindergarten in the fall, you can move them up on June 5th as well.

Family Worship Experience

We believe it's important for parents & kids to worship together. To sing the same songs, hear the same message and engage together in worship as a family. 

Over the next 9 months, we've planned out 3 of these family worship events to help your family Seek, Study and Serve together. 

We look forward to Seeking with you in just a few weeks!
