Waumba Land this Fall....things you are going to want to know before Sunday!

HILLSIDE FAMILY MINISTRY

Back to school is here and it is an exciting time in the life of a preschooler.  As young families transition into new routines, your Waumba Land Team wants to let you know about some necessary changes to the program that they have been working on as they get ready for the Fall Launch of Waumba Land.  

The primary purpose of Family Ministry at Hillside is to partner with parents in the spiritual development of their kids.  As an effort to continue to hone that relationship, we have made some changes to how we run our environments that we hope will make communication easier, make our environments better for your children and help our dedicated volunteers to maintain balance in their lives.  

Information regarding all environments that you need to know:

1. Our new formats will begin on our Fall Launch date of September 11, 2011. 
2. New registration forms will need to be filled out on your first visit beginning with September 11.  Registration area will open at 9:00am on launch day.  One form per child.   
3. Our registration area will be open by 9:15 each week beginning September 18 to allow for parents to drop off in a timely way each week.  Our program begins promptly at 9:30.   Environments will be closed to arriving children after 9:45 each week.  Our program begins at 9:30, by 9:45, just like in the adult worship experience, our leaders have progressed into teaching the foundational components which the rest of the morning is built. So to respect those who are leading, those who arrive in a timely manner and to minimize the disruptions in all of our environments we are asking that you arrive to register your children between 9:15 and 9:25 each week.   
4. Safety ratios will continue to be adhered to which may mean that you might be asked on any given Sunday to help out in one of our environments.   
5. Security: the two tag plus sign in and out process will continue by age-level.   
6. Take home papers/Parent Cue will continue to help us partner with you to keep reinforcing the lessons from Sunday.  Please take time to read through those take home papers and choosing some of those helps to engage your family in a deeper spiritual conversation.   
7. Curbside Welcoming.   We have discontinued offering candy as a part of our curbside welcoming.  Stickers will continue to be offered when a greeter is available.   
8. Community Service:   Youth are welcomed at both 9:30 & 11:00 to come be Small Group Helpers.  Sign up with Terri terri@hillsidemarin.org.

Mid-Summer Blahs

It's mid-July and it's so easy to get caught up in the activities of summer and take a vacation from church.

Here are some reasons why parents of children and youth should make coming to church a priority even during the summer.

1) Consistency.  Where children are concerned, consistency of routine is critical to their learning regardless of their age.  Transitions are the hardest elements for parents to manage so keeping the routine helps children feel safe and secure.  Consistency also makes it easier for teens and limit the conflicts.  Most teens don't want to go where they don't have friends, want your kids to have a Christian peer group, then they need to make their primary friendships at church.  It's all about having a known and predictable schedule.

2) Community.  The Waumba Land and UpStreet teams work all year long at creating a community of friends within their small groups.  Community grows in importance as your kids get older.  We want our church community kids to be each others best friends, here and on the school grounds, where similar values are reflected in their friends and their families and ultimately in their choices.

3) Spiritual Formation.  Just like your children do not stop growing physically over the summer, their interest and need to know about God, Jesus, Holy Spirit, Bible and so on, does not stop either.  Without intentional time spent talking about things of spiritual significance in your family life, church is the best environment for those conversations to begin and make it easier for you to piggyback on to as you lead your child spiritually from the home.

4) Reinforcement.  In each environment for children and youth at Hillside have core values that we are teaching and reinforcing each week.  In Waumba Land, 1) God Made Me, 2) God Loves Me and 3) Jesus wants to be my forever friend.  In UpStreet, 1) Make wise choices, 2) Trust God, and 3) Treat others the way you want to be treated.  Our Youth Department is focused on giving life skills to our youth through helping them Discover faith for themeselves, Wonder about the whys and hows of faith, and ultimately grow in Passion about their faith.  Our goal is to have each of these environments in Family Ministry build up a child to the point that when they exit High School they own their own faith journey and walk closely with Christ the rest of their lives.

The truth is that these things don't happen if you are only exposing your children to our environments  four or even ten times a year.  The reality for us is that for ministry to have a positive effect in a child's everyday life, we need to have your kids in our environments 40, yes 40 Sundays a year to even keep the process moving in that direction.  That's three out of four Sundays a month.  It will also take you, as the parent, having faith-filled discussions with your kids during meals, while traveling together, and any other time you can find a window to talk about faith, and the church providing excellent environments, leadership, materials for this to happen.  That is why partnering with parents is one of our primary goals.

As a function of that partnership, we want to equip parents well.  To do this we have take home sheets in all our environments called Parent Cue. The purpose is to help you keep the discussions moving at home, to build on what was begun on Sundays.  Our new CUE BOX ($12) brings home the lesson in a way that appeals to today's elementary age kids using technology and games.

In Waumba Land and UpStreet there is a monthly theme and we take that theme and we teach it through 4 different lenses, one each week.  This is why consistency is so important.  By the end of the fourth Sunday, children are able to share with others what they have learned, recite bible verses, sing songs and tell four unique stories and how they fit into the theme.  It's more than a Bible Story and a coloring sheet - it's not the Sunday School that we grew up with - which is why we call it by the name of the environments.  No one wants to go to another day of school.  At the heart of it all, this is about your child's spiritual journey!  It's important to us and we want it to be important enough to you that you would be willing to make sacrificial changes to make and keep the commitment to attend the 9:30 service 3 out of 4 Sundays a month.  How will we know it's important to you...we'll see you and your children consistently, engaging community and growing spiritually!

For parents only...encouragement to not "go it alone"

FOR PARENTS ONLY: 

Over the next three weeks, we are talking to your student about the importance of community & to be in service to others. What that means is simply this—we need other people. God never meant for us to go through this life alone. There are times when each one of us knows that very well, and then there are other times when it’s the last thing on our minds. Wherever you are at, you need other people. And they need you. It’s part of how we see God in action in our world. It’s also how we learn more about Him and ourselves. So as we kick off this series and begin or SUMMER OF SERVICE, I thought you might appreciated the thought represented in the article below.  

Recently, I ran across the following article from Carey Nieuwhof, the Senior Pastor of Connexus Church in Canada. It’s a very candid confession, and one that may reflect your story at some point in your life. 

FIND A FRIEND 

By Carey Nieuwhof

By default over the years, I have been a pretty private person. I handle most things pretty tightly. I don't have a lot of people who are close to me, but those who are close to me are people I trust implicitly and establish a deep loyalty to.

When I was going through a tough season a few years ago, I went to see some Christian counselors, and their helpful message was simply this—I couldn't go through this alone. Everything inside me said, "Yes, I can," but I realized they were right. I couldn't do it alone.

I remember the night I shared what I was going through with my community group at the time. I'm sure my pride had kept me from talking about it before. Plus, I had earlier been convinced I would just wake up out of this at some point and it would go away. I didn't need to tell anyone. Clearly, that strategy was failing. So I talked to our community group through some tears one night. The love, prayer, empathy and compassion that poured forth was huge. I was humbled and blown away.

Toni, my wife, continues to show an unbelievable kindness. And I have a handful of close friends near and far (some live a long way away), some colleagues and some staffers who tracked with me through this season. I am so grateful for them.

Friendship is still not easy for me. I am really quite private at my core. In this networked world, I know thousands of people by name, but if people get too close, I can still push away. I'm working on that. God's working on that. There has been some big progress on that, I think.

But what I want to say is that I have come to realize that you can't do it alone. We are social beings. We are meant to be together.

I am always surprised that when I sit down with someone to talk through a life situation they are going through, and I ask them "Who else do you talk to this about?", the #1 answer is "No one," That breaks my heart.

If you're going through a hard time, find a friend. Talk to them. Pray with them. For me, it was hard, but life giving, to include a handful of people in a circle. It was life giving to see a group of people in my community group care deeply. We can’t do this alone—and we were never meant to do it that way. 

If you have not found your way into a community group at Hillside yet, please note that most of our current groups will be taking a summer break and we are looking to launch new groups this fall.  So begin now to open a time in your weekly schedule for next fall so that you can join into a community that will enhance your life journey and hopefully deepen your walk with Christ.  Your commitment to opening a time and opportunity to join a community group and your own spiritual development will be worth it.

If you have any questions about Community Groups at Hillside for adults contact Pastor Steve Pridemore (steve@hillsidemarin.org) or for children and youth, contact me (terri@hillsidemarin.org).

Student Ministry starts a new series June 5

WHAT WE’RE TALKING ABOUT:

Here is an overview of what we’re talking about in Student Ministries for the next three weeks, finishing out our 2010-11 school year.   

The summary below is called the “parent cue”.  The purpose of the parent cue is to help you dialog with your child about the sessions each week, to help bring home the ideas and allow you to share your family core values on this subject or to form family core values. The question is intended not just to be asked by you, but to be responded to by BOTH of you. Use this opportunity to find out what God is teaching your child, and allow your child to see what God is teaching you as well. 

WE:

Series Overview

In following Christ, there is one truth that most of us forget—we were never meant to do this alone. We need other people. It’s critical not just because we need friends, but also because in community we understand more about who God is. We see how He is working in other people’s lives. We learn things that God has taught them, and we get an opportunity to love and serve others. The WE series helps us discover the “WHY” behind community—why we need it, why we should pursue it. 

Session One - June 5

We need other people. We get that when we feel lonely, don’t we? But the reality is that there are times when the last thing we want is someone around—whether it’s our own grumpiness or because we just don’t want to be hurt again. But God made us in such a way that people fill a very specific need in our lives. And while God does supply all our needs, He created us to need other people, too.

Session One Parent Cue: Where do you have the greatest sense of community in your life? How has this been a good thing? How has it been a difficult thing?  

Session Two - June 12

We talked last week about how we need people, and if we’re honest, we all have realized that at some point or another. But there’s a reluctance to take that next step because it’s risky. It’s scary. And most of all, it’s messy. True community costs us something. But if we don’t have it, it will cost us a lot more.

Session Two Parent Cue: Share a time when you were hurt by someone. Then share a time when you felt lonely and really needed other people around. After some time and perspective, which one was worse? Why? 

Session Three - June 19 (Promotion Sunday in our Family Ministry environments)

People’s stories are powerful, aren’t they? There’s something about hearing what’s going on in another person’s life that puts things in perspective for us. We may be thinking that God has forgotten us, that He doesn’t care about what’s going in our world, but then we hear someone share how God showed up when they really needed Him. And because of that, we begin to think that maybe, just maybe, He can be there for us, too. That’s the power of community. It’s how we see God at work in our world. It’s how we grow closer to Him. And it’s an important part of growing in our relationship with Him.

Session Three Parent Cue: What have you learned about God from other people in your life?
