Remember the sneakers? Remember the sweater? Remember the cute little song? It was always a beautiful day in Mr. Rogers’ neighborhood. And no matter who you were, you were invited to be his neighbor. It was an invitation to be in relationship—but not a real relationship. It was, after all, a TV show. Life can be a lot more complicated than Mr. Roger’s idyllic neighborhood. Maintaining real-life relationships that are healthy and authentic is challenging. Whether it’s a relationship with your parents, your friends or a stranger, Jesus’ call to “love your neighbor” has huge implications.
Being a parent – It’s one of the most fulfilling, frightening, enjoyable, and challenging things that you will ever do. Children arrive with no warranty or instructions enclosed. All of a sudden, you’re a parent and you didn’t even get an owner’s manual! Whether they’re bawling, crawling, walking, talking, driving you crazy, or asking to drive your car, kids are a gift from God. We are committed to helping parents survive and thrive. If you have kids or are even thinking about having them, you won’t want to miss this four-week series beginning this weekend as we explore what God’s Word has to say about all things parental.
