What is all this talk about Orange, anyway, just another crazy idea that popped into Pastor Brian's head?
Not this time. But I can guarantee that will probably be the right answer the next time you ask a similar question!
Orange is the name of the curriculum Lakewood Park has chosen for our
Reign Forest and Land of Promise students. You can read more about it
by clicking this link, but for those of you who want the simple version, well, you're in luck today!
The idea behind Orange is to get parents and children's ministry workers
on the same page. How many times have you gotten into your car after
church and asked your child, "What did you learn in church today?" The
creative answers you may be getting can leave you scratching your head
and wondering if your child's teacher has ever even opened a Bible! And
those take-home papers that you file into a "to talk to my kid about"
file for later in the week that you just never do end up looking at
again or that you find at the bottom of your bag the following Sunday as
you prepare for church aren't really helping anyone, are they?
That's where Orange (and this blog) come in. You can expect weekly blog
updates and emails telling you exactly what the lesson was about and
what the main point was. Our monthly Bible memory verse will be posted
(you can see it right now in the right hand column on this page) so you
can work on it at home with your family. But the parts that I am the
most excited about are the practical tips and conversation starters to
be posted each week that parents can use during our everyday busy lives
to engage your child's heart in continually realizing how God's Word
applies to his life at home and everywhere, not just in the classroom at church.
