Hello! I thought we were done with extreme summer heat, but it’s been HOT lately! Many of us have kids who have returned to the school classroom and your home schedules have been turned upside-down -- being at school at a certain time, homework, reading, soccer, football practices, weekly small groups, oh and don’t forget your work! WHEEEE…it’s stressful just reading about all that people have going on.

There is no doubt our kids feel stress in their lives too. It’s a shame to think about that – kids and stress! In our kids’ lives? That’s so not cool – they’re only kids. They shouldn’t feel stress at their young age. We can’t change the factors in our lives that may cause their stress, but we can teach and model how to effectively deal with STRESS in our daily lives.

This month’s newsletter is jam-packed with ideas and teaching moments to help with the subject of stress in our kids’ lives. Please take a minute to look it over. You may be surprised how easy it is to work some Godly principles about stress into the lives of your kids daily.

Also, Impact Comedy Club will be on Friday night, September 10th. There will be two shows: 6:45 pm and 9:15 pm. $15 for advance ticket purchase and $20 at the door. Discounted tickets for groups of 10 or more are also available in advance. This is a great way to invite people who are checking out church or who normally wouldn’t walk into a church building. Purchase your tickets during our weekend services, online or in the church office during regular office hours. For more info, visit www.impactcomedy.com.

Children’s 301 will be offered Sunday, September 26th during our 9am service. This class will help your child discover their God-given shape -- how God designed them and what are they’re ‘wired’ to do. If your children have attended Children’s 101 and Children’s 201, this is their next step.

This month is full of lots of ‘NEW’ things -- new backpacks, pencils, shoes, lunch boxes, teachers, sport teams…and new routines! Let’s help our kids adapt to their new routines with the least amount of stress and, who knows, these simple reminders may help you deal with stress in your life too.

Feel free to contact me at Tsmith@impactcommunity.com if I can help in any way. Make this month a great transition time in your home.
