Global Village e-News: May

Hello parents and children's ministry leaders!

To all the Quest moms and dads: I can think of no better way to spend a Saturday, than to wake up early in the morning, buckle the family up in the car, and spend the day at church hanging out- kids with kids, and parents with parents- learning from one another and being encouraged that we are not alone, in this thing called parenting!!!!  Quest Children's Ministry is not just about sharing God with kids on Sunday.  We recognize our role is to mainly support parents in the 24/7 spiritual mentoring that takes place in the home.  But if you are anything like me, you could use all the SUPPORT you can get!  That's why equip2010 is so important to me, and I hope that you take the time to come be with us next Saturday.  Whether you are certain you've got this parenting thing down :), or your head is spinning just weeks into the adventure, there will be something for EVERY PARENT. www.seattlequest.org/equip2010
