Orange is here!

2010-03-19T13:48:00.000-07:00

Well, it seems like it snuck up on us, but "orange" is finally here. Hopefully you're up to date on all the orange happenings so far here at Cypress (including the Family Fun Fest). Now here is your chance to help shape the next orange steps. Simply click on the link at the left of the page that says, well "click here to take survey" and let us know what you think about the Family Ministries here at Cypress. The survey is only 6 questions long and can be completed in less than 5 minutes. You will also get a standing ovation from the Family Ministries team for completing it, though we won't actually know who you are as the survey is completely confidential. Rest assured we will still clap however. We appreciate your input in making Family Ministries here at Cypress the best it can be. Thanks so much!

This Means Something...

Welcome!

Welcome to the official blog of the Next Gen ministries at Cypress Meadows Community Church. This is where parents, volunteers, and all other interested parties can find information, updates, and everything else needed to keep current on what's happening in The Treehouse (birth - 3yrs.), Kids Connection (4yrs. - 4th grade), and Oneanother (5th - 7th grade). For those looking for information on High Tide (8th - 12th grade), you can find that by visiting the official High Tide blog.

Parents, this blog has been designed to serve as a bridge to you. Society tells us the days of newsletters are behind us but we know that you still want to know what is going on with your children. So in an effort to serve you better we've created a place that you can come and, with just a few clicks, discover what your child will be learning on the upcoming Sunday, what special classes or events designed to serve you as a parent are coming up, or even cool resources that exist to help you as you strive to raise your children in God-honoring and effective ways . You'll also be able to find important dates to remember, event registration info, and much, much more all in this one place.

And since this is a blog, it is designed to be interactive. From time to time you will find surveys, polls, etc. to help us gather your input when making decisions concerning Next Gen, but in addition you are always welcome to post a question, comment, or other type of feedback. We believe our kids need the church and family to partner together to serve their best interests, so let's keep the lines of communication open.

Looking forward to better developing our partnership (for our kids' sake),

The Next Gen Leadership Team
