Your October Resources Are Here!
This month at M2P, we’re focusing on quite possibly the most important aspect of our lives: relationships. Our relationships are truly at the center of everything we do, and they chart the course for our homes. How can we, as children’s ministry leaders, help the kids and parents who participate in our ministry build and maintain strong relationships in their homes? We all know that strong relationships in life start with a strong relationship with God, so this month we want to provide you with ideas, tools, and resources to help parents think about how to build and deepen the spiritual and relational connections in their families.
For more on this topic, don’t forget to check out the blog articles, coaching video, online parenting class video, toolbox item, and the latest episode of the M2P Podcast. Remember that we are here to serve you and to help you serve parents, so let us know if there is ever anything we can do for you or your ministry.
Blessings,
The M2P Team

This month we want to help you think through how you can help families develop stronger relationships at home. How can you, as a children’s ministry worker, build a culture and create opportunities that will help parents build the relationships with their children that they will need to sustain them along their journey together? Well, there are some things you can do to set families up for success in this area, and we will share them with you in this month’s video.

In this month’s parent video, we encourage parents to intentionally focus on building strong relationships with their kids that will last a lifetime. Our lives and the lives of our kids are often so busy that we, as parents, must be highly intentional about carving out the time to foster healthy relationships and not allow that time to get crowded out. As parents, we need to take building relationships with our kids seriously and make it just as much an intentional part of our parenting strategy as we do guiding, directing, and correcting.
