Happy Father's Day!!

"Walk a Little slower, Daddy." said a little child so small.I'm following in your footsteps and I don't want to fall.
Sometimes your steps are very fast, sometimes they're hard to see;So walk a little slower Daddy, for you are leading me.
Someday when I'm all grown up, You're what I want to be.Then I will have a little child who'll want to follow me.
And I would want to lead just right, and know that I was true;So, walk a little slower, Daddy, for I must follow you!!


Happy Father's Day from m.Kids
Also...

A special Thank you to all the Fantastic Dads who serve in m.kids each week!



Resource Note for Parents:
Today's Fathers day message was a bold reminder of the challenge parents face to educate our children about Sex and Purity before the world does. Our Guest Speaker, David Wever, has resources available to assist parents in communicating with our kids. Here you can find a guideline for What to discuss and at what age: Age Appropriate Talks
You'll find excellent information to guide you in communicating with your children about the dangers of pornography.

m.Kids get Popping

Want a super easy way to make a difference in the lives of struggling families in our area?

Keep your popcan tabs and bring them to Mosaic! Ronald McDonald House (RMH) in Charlotte collects Pop Tabs to recycle and uses the money to provide room and board for families who have sick children in the local hospitals. Mosaic will have a collection container for pop tabs in the children's check-in area soon. There just isn't an easier way to help families out than taking 2 seconds to pop a tab! Also, RMH is always looking for groups to provide and serve meals to families staying there- another wonderful opportunity for small group/Team service! For more info check out Ronald Mcdonald Charities website.

http://www.rmhofcharlotte.org/


The first Ronald McDonald House opened in Philadelphia in 1974, and there are now more than 276 Ronald McDonald Houses in 32 countries around the world. More than 10 million families have been hosted at Ronald McDonald House facilities worldwide, and every night more than 10,000 beds are available for families away from home seeking medical treatment for their children.

Thanks Lorraine Manion for volunteering as Mosaic's "Pop top Ambassador!"
