@lins_goetz Our kids ages 2-2nd grade have a toddler class and children's church during the sermon. 3rd grade and up remain in the service.

@Superdave_312 Ope, try Wisconsin.

@FromPhDtoLife It is part-time and flexible, which means I can also hold down a second part-time job as a graduate writing center coordinator and homeschool my 3 kids. It's a jigsaw life, but works really well for us.

[Katie Kinney @Kt_Kinney]

@FromPhDtoLife Volunteer training, curriculum development, safety policy enforcement, lots of setting up and maintaining classrooms, and being friends with awesome kids.

@lins_goetz We have nightly family prayer and seasons of devotional time, but on a day to day basis it looks like forgiving and reconciling with one another. We practice weaving the gospel into our conversation.

@lins_goetz The library has existed for decades. We did a large weeding and "renewal drive" for new books last year and received enthusiastic support.

@lins_goetz I'm the children's coordinator (staff). Parents of teens are the heaviest users of parenting books. Younger families tend to use it weekly or not at all. Xmas/Easter excepting. We see more use then. We've gotten requests for more material on sexuality from multiple age groups.

@Jeb_R TBH, by late dissertation stage there was no reading for pleasure energy. And so I entered my Marvel movie stage. My post-defense recovery consisted of highly descriptive audiobooks and long sabbath walks.

@erichoke I remember Storykeepers being great, but I haven't viewed it as an adult. DVDs are available on Amazon

It's -19 with the wind chill and my dog won't come inside unless I go out to play with him. Why did we get a husky!?!? 🥶😂

@Superdave_312 @LouMalnatis I consider getting a frozen one shipped to me every year for my birthday ❤️ sweet home Chicago!

@lynna_listens It gave me a very narrow and disconnected concept of spirituality which has been mercifully broadened and enriched in adulthood.

[Katie Kinney @Kt_Kinney]

@lynna_listens Gothard;s tripartite human person has a body, soul, and spirit. I think "will" lined up with soul which was the emotional self. The "spirit" was the spiritual aspect of our being and I never understood it past that.
