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

• Paint & repair outdoor furniture
• Pick up trash around the facility
• Cut brush & trim overgrown trees
• Clean & fix the retention wall
• Install a small fence in the parking area
• Cook hotdogs & share a meal
• Connect with kids and families at the shelter

Come dressed to serve — comfy clothes, gloves, closed-toe shoes, and a heart ready to bless. Let’s show up with joy, energy, and compassion as we love on our city together!

Parent Lab is a gathering for parents of children birth - high school held 2-3 times a year. It typically includes a time of sharing information, data, and resources on a subject, a question and answer time, and time to contemplate and write down a step you want to take. Some sections include discussions or idea sharing with other parents at your table.

We’ve begun going over the book Habits of the Household by Justin Whitmel Earley over several parent Lab gatherings. The book looks at how our daily habits can be a tool in guiding us and our families closer to God. This session, we’ll look at the chapters on habits around mealtimes and discipline and how you can use them to connect yourself, and in turn, your family, to God.

Also at this session, we’ll continue our multi-session segment on Gender & Identity, working to answer any remaining questions.

Light the Night is a great way to be out in your neighborhood on the busiest night of the year! You (or your group) supply the driveway, decorations, and food or drink and SLCC will provide the cups, napkins, and candy bags.

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.

• 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
