Family Friday
October 25, 2024; 6:30-9PM
The Kids and Student Ministries are hosting a Family Friday with something engaging for the whole family. Middle School students are invited to the Invite Night Halloween Party; younger kids are invited to a Kid's Night In Pajama Party, and parents are invited to the Technology and Parenting Workshop. You may choose to register for one, two or all the events.
Technology and Parenting Workshop
Lindsay Kusy, LMHC, CCTP, CCFP, CAGCS address the Technology use from a mental health perspective. She discusses what a healthy relationship with technology looks like for students and adults. She also addresses how we can best support our kids in finding a healthy connection with their screens and devices (and reduce the conflict between parent and student).
The attendees of this presentation will understand the development of the adolescent brain, what technology is doing in the brain, the correlation between gaming and mental health, the correlation between social media and mental health, and finally how to create a healthy technology plan with your youth. Attendees will participate in a lecture for around 45 minutes and then be equipped to use the rest of the time to create a family plan. Parents can go out on their own date night, stay onsite for group discussion, or join a group at a local restaurant to discuss together.
Middle School Invite Night Halloween Party
Students in grades 5-8th are invited to our MS Invite Night - Halloween Party! We will have a super fun evening doing all kinds of fall/Halloween themed activities: hay ride, pumpkin painting, costume contest, eating Halloween candy, and so much more. The evening will also include an encouraging message aimed at our youth. Halloween Costumes are encouraged, but not required!
Kid's Night In Pajama Party
This event is for Infants-4th graders, but your youth can volunteer too! Kids will be eating snacks, playing games, making crafts and more.
Only one registration per family is necessary. Please use the parent's or guardian's information to start the registration.
