Rethink the needs of your church – What do the families in your particular context need?

1. When are they dialed in?  Do they need a resource or a program? Here are a few we have identified.
   Baby born – resource
   Baby dedicated – program
   Talking to your kids about sex – resource
   Baptism – resource
2. Don’t reinvent the wheel but make the wheel fits your car. – A few things out there to check out, Group’s milestones, Orange’s parent resources, and D6.
3. Make sure the steps are practical. – Parents need simple and step by step.
4. Make sure you help parents see that their story for their family is part of a much bigger story.
5. Make sure that in everything you do Jesus is clearly seen. We have to partner with Christ before we can partner with parents.
