KAPS (Kid’s and Parents) Events
It was great to get together for our first KAPS gathering for the year. Our focus was on Easter... Activities delved into different parts of Jesus' journey to the cross. There was a lot of participation in the worship service as people shared the Easter story including his victory over death through his resurrection! We now share in his victory and can have life with him! It was great to share a tasty meal afterwards and get to know new friends.
Our next KAPS event is April 27th from 4pm (the afternoon before school returns for Term 2... It won’t be a late night). Save the date and invite your friends and family! Pop the date in your diary now!
Rescheduled - Coffee and Connect
Just a note to let you know that Coffee and Connect won’t be on tomorrow as we will be connecting in a different way (on the school oval for Sports Day). Coffee and Connect will resume the following Friday 4th April from 8:30am. See you soon!
100 Ways to Connect
Strong, meaningful relationships with those we love not only bring us joy, but also help our children feel secure, valued, and understood.
With so many things going on in our lives like work, school, housework, extra-curricular activities, digital notifications and more, it’s easy to become distracted by the never-ending to-do lists and distractions. But the moments that matter most are the ones spent truly present with one another.
This week, we encourage you to take a step back and create intentional moments of connection with your child - whether it’s sharing a story at bedtime, taking a walk together, or simply enjoying a meal without distractions. These small, everyday interactions build lasting bonds and remind our children that they are deeply loved.
