Faith Connections

I recently had the opportunity to speak at Kingsway Community Life Centre during their Family Month. As a component of my sermon, I shared with the congregation some strategies of how we, as parents, can make positive connections with our children's teachers. One connection was what I called a Faith Connection. I believe that it is important for us, as believers, to share our faith with those who are in our sphere of influence, and this includes our children's teachers. Now, I am not suggesting that you send a leather-bound King James Bible, or a copy of your pastor's sermon for your child's teacher every Monday! What I am suggesting is much simpler, but I believe that it will act as a seed of faith that will help parents begin to build positive relationships with their child's teacher.

All you have to do is write a simple note. A note that introduces yourself and let's your child's teacher know that you are praying for them. It doesn't have to be a long, detailed letter. Just a simple card  that will allow you to share your faith, your appreciation, begin the year with Jesus at the center.

This is the card that I made for both of my girl's teachers. My prayer is that, regardless of their faith, their teachers will find strength knowing that there is a family who supports them, who is thankful for them, and who is praying for them.
