Parent Huddles are back! These are opportunities for parents of kids of all ages to connect with each other and be encouraged by our KidsPoint team. We’re kicking off this year with a Parent Huddle Picnic from 5:30 to 7 p.m., on Sunday, Sept. 7 at Family Park at 21st and Urish. Bring your lawn chairs and a side dish or dessert to share. We’ll provide the sandwiches and chips.

Jesus Loves Me, The Itsy Bitsy Spider, Play-Doh, crayons, and more…Preschool Playdates are coming back the 1st and 3rd Thursday of the month beginning Sept. 4. These get-togethers are a great opportunity to build community and friendships with people in the same stage as you. We’ll play, craft and socialize. Playdates are geared for kids five and under, along with their parents/guardians/caregivers.

Kids are back in school, this means new schedules, new routines, new friends, and lots of transitions. Transitions can be hard for kids. If your child aged 4 to 18 needs a little help transitioning into the school year, struggles with school, or needs an extra adult encouraging them, Family Care might be a great option for you. Family Care is pastoral counseling specifically geared for our Grace Point kids. If you are interested in learning more, talk to Pastor Faith, or email office@gptopeka.org.
