Each week in The Wild we learnexciting new things that God wants to teach us. To help kids takehome and apply whatthey are learning we want to provideparents with some of the basics that we cover each week and also a few questions you can talk through with your kids in the car or during a meal sometime this week.
This Month’s Virtue:RESPONSIBILITY is showing you can be trusted with what is expected of you.
The Bottom Line: What in the world are you doing to take care of what God made?
Memory Verse: “Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much.” – Luke 16:10
This Week’s Bible Story:In the BeginningGen. 1:27-28
Think About it Questions:
- Kid’s Question – Why does God give us responsibilities?
- Parent’s Question – What were your responsibilities as a kid?

We are meeting at the mall tomorrow at 10. We’ll start at the Cookie Factory which is near the center of the mall. The kids will get to decorate a cookie and have a drink! Then, we’ll head to the mall play area where the kids can run and explore while the moms chat. It’s a great opportunity to get out of the house and meet other moms.
Be sure to pass on this invitation to other moms you know! We’ll see you at the cookie factory at 10!

Did you ever wish there was an instruction manual for raising your kids? Do you wish that you and your spouse were on the same page when it comes to discipline and instruction for your children? Well now, help is on the way!!!
For parents of children ages 3-12, there is a class taught by the experienced parenting team of Mike and Cindy Gorrell. They have walked manyfamilies through the “Growing Kids God’s Way” series by esteemed parenting experts, Ezzo and Bucknam. The class begins Monday, November 23rd. It will run every Monday night at 7pm for 4 weeks. We will break for Christmas and continue beginning Monday, January 4th for another 14 weeks. If it seems like a big commitment, it is. But think of it as getting a PhD in parenting. Well worth it!
The cost is $40 per couple or $20 for single parent family. Childcare is not provided so you must secure your own childcare. But think of it as a night out every week!
If you are interested in seeing your family unified in purpose and direction, please register for the class by clicking here oremail us at Parenting@westsidechurch.org. Registration forms available at church or you can stop by the table in the church concourse this Sunday, November 15th.
