Your October Resources Are Here!

Wait?!? Is it Christmas already? Not yet! But…for church leaders worldwide, some of them are already singing Joy To The World!, coordinating schedules with the music leader, and planning that ever-so-intense white elephant gift exchange. So in the spirit of Christmas, we created Advent For Families, this month’s Toolbox. It’s a 4-week guide you can give your families next month to help them prepare for the Christmas season. We even include ideas on an Advent Kickoff Event!*

In partnership with Advent, we created Parent Videos on Symbols and Memorials to help parents pass down their faith. Speaking of seasons, we also dived right into a tricky part of ministry on our blog and podcast…What to do when people leave.

We hope your people enjoy this month’s content. As always, it’s a pleasure to partner with you in ministry. Blessings to you, The M2P Team

It’s our privilege to partner with you in ministry.

3 Simple Ways Symbols Help You Lead Your Child Spiritually

God has made a child’s mind concrete in their thinking, which means that they need to see, hear, and touch something to understand it. So creating symbols that have spiritual meaning is a great way to lead your child spiritually. It sends important messages to their hearts about the things that matter most in life.

In our new parent video, we’re going to help you give parents three simple examples of how they can use symbols around the house.
