Come to the mats and learn about the way God wants us to live with our new series, Dojo Jr. Preschoolers will join Kora and Kimmie as Sensei Bob teaches them about God's plan for their lives. Each week as the girls punch and kick their way through the martial arts tournament, they will also learn how Gods word corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right through patience, kindness, self-control, and prayer.

On December 4, 2013, SoHills Kids and Fusion teamed up to present our very first IMPRESS family event. Through this night we showed families how simple it can be to create the type of environment God wants us to have in our Christian homes. We highlighted activities from the free digital magazine, HomeFront. HomeFront is a spiritual parenting resource that equips parents to create fun, spiritually forming times in their homes. While I love all of the ideas featured each month it is easy to become overwhelmed at the thought of trying to implement them all. So in our home, our goal is to have family devotion at least once a week. One of my favorite activities from the December issue is found on page 15 and is entitled, Getting to Know Y!ou. Below are the directions, so plan a family dinner and try it out!!

Getting to Know You

During mealtime, invite everyone at the table to write down or draw two truths about herself on a small piece of paper or sticky note. She might note her favorite food, favorite television show or song, a prized possession, a dream for the future, etc. (Adults can read and write for the young children.) Fold the papers, put them in a bowl, and mix them up. Beginning with the youngest family member, allow each person to take a paper and read it aloud (or describe the picture). The rest of the family gets to try to guess which family member wrote (or drew) the note. Continue until youve gone through all of the papers in the bowl.

GET YOUR CHILDREN TALKING!

After everyone has had an opportunity to learn two things about each family member, ask your children, What do you know to be true about God? Encourage them to take time to explain how they know those truths about God. Remind them that just like we can get to know more about each other, we can get to know more about God by reading His Word. by Debbie Guinn Corey Jones Melissa Bradley Hollie Adams
