AT THE HOME // Vol 1 Issue 11
HEY FORM KIDS FAM!
We had a wonderful first launch of MOMS Gather last month and it was so great to connect with each of you! We can’t wait to provide more opportunities for moms, as well as dads, to connect with each other on your journey of motherhood and fatherhood. Our goal as a church community is to partner with you in your role as faith influencers and create spaces where you can connect with others who are in similar parenting phases.
Now, we know the holidays are a busy time for you and your family, so let's get straight to the point. Here's everything you need to know about our ministry the month of November!

WHAT we’re teaching +
The most important part of any play is what happens “behind the scenes.” There’s lighting, wardrobe, casting, playwriting — so much has to happen perfectly to bring the production together! In the story of Esther, there is a whole lot going on behind the scenes, too. In this four-week series, kids will discover the most important character in Esther’s story isn’t always center-stage, but can often be found behind the scenes working, helping, giving support and giving peace. (Spoiler alert: It's God!)
CRADLE ROLL A
(Birth - 2 year olds)
CRADLE ROLL B
(2 year olds)
CRADLE ROLL C

+ PARENT TIP OF THE MONTH
It's very common for most of our friends to think like us, care about the things we care about, and believe what we believe. While it's comfortable to be around people who are like us, it also limits our view of the world and our chances to find deep, life-altering relationships. So what can we do to model inclusivity and get out of our bubble?
Here’s a resource for you +
In a world so full of social interactions, it can be hard for the world at large to recognize the greatness within every unique introvert. This book is a great and eye-opening read for all introverts and the extroverts who love them.
