Famfest: Connecting Families

6:7 Connect
Deuteronomy 6:7 talks about sharing conversations around faith matters. Download the one page/week Connect Sheets as a tool to help you engage in intentional faith sharing moments. "...talk about these things...". This weekly tool is to equip parents for faith discussion in the home, on the road, at night or in the morning.

Research has shown that parents are overwhelmingly the most influential in the life of a child.

Famcast RadioShow

THE CD

An introductory CD has been given to every family in Crosswalk. It is our gift to help kick off this new and exciting ministry. It's purpose is to introduce you to the show, and to help create faith conversations where you are. Once you are done with the CD pass it on to a neighbor or friend. To pick up a free copy of the CD stop by the Genesis Bookstore and ask for the Radioshow.

THE RADIOSHOW

Families are on the go...we get that. So, we have created a learning tool to help you raise your child in the faith. It is a pre-recorded 'radioshow' featuring a monthly theme complete with songs, stories, skits, commercials and more whatnot. It is geared to the life of a family with young children.

Here is this months file that you can download and listen to in the car, on your iPod, or your computer.

Famfest Fall Festival at the Orchard

In case of rain...we will still meet at the orchard and have indoor options that will include a guided tour of the facility, a session on apple pealing and a taste of cider and cinnamon doughnut around the fireplace. (Wagon rides are pending muddy fields.)

Monday night, October 6th will be at the Apple Orchard in Jordan from 5:30-7:00pm. Fun includes the wagon ride through the orchard, hot dogs, chips and a drink, and an old fashioned campfire. There are plenty of others things to do at the Minnesota Harvest Apple Orchard in Jordan as well, including picking your own bag of apples, petting zoo and pony rides (for a small fee).
