COVID-19 Resource for Families

Hello Families,

I know that the situation we find ourselves in is new to everyone. And if your family is like mine we are scrambling to find new routines while trying to keep some sense of normalcy. If your kids are like mine, they are asking lots and lots of questions as to why. Like me, you might be searching the internet for ways to help your kids understand. I wanted to share some helpful things that I have found both religious and not. (You can find these at the end of this email.)

Also as people of faith we can offer our children reassurances from scripture (I’ve listed several below) that God is at work even in these crazy uncertain times. We can be an example of this assurance in our own families.
I hope and pray these resources can be a good start for your family. When KIDS GLOW comes up with other ways to connect we will get those out to you as well.
Until then, know that I am praying for you and your family, and if there is anything specific I can do for you please let me know.

Blessings,
Eric
