We're all ears...

...and we want to know what you think. If you are a parent or a volunteer (or both) please give us your feedback about the current state of our Family Ministries offerings by clicking on the link at the left of the page that says "click here to take survey". The survey is only 6 questions long and can be completed in less than 5 minutes. You will also get a standing ovation from the Family Ministries team for completing it, though we won't actually know who you are as the survey is completely confidential. Rest assured we will still clap however. We appreciate your input in making Family Ministries here at Cypress the best it can be. Thanks so much (and thank you for not making fun of the size of our ears - we're a little sensitive about that).

Lesson Previews for 4/11

Here's what your kids will be learning in Family Ministries this coming Sunday:



In The Treehouse, kids will learn that they can LOVE BIG using the story of the Prodigal Son found in Luke 15:11-24.



In KC jr., kids will learn that God has super power using the story of Jehosophat asking God for help in 2 Chronicles 20.



In Kids Connection, kids will learn that they can have a heart after God using the story of God choosing David in 1 Samuel 16:1-13.



As always, each child will receive a take-home handout to help you follow up on these teachings at home during the week. Please take the time to do these activities with your child as they will help the truths they are learning here at Cypress sink deep into their everyday lives.
