Sterling Website Update
Good News!! Sterling website is Updated. It looks slighly different so we created a document to help you navigate it.
Influence is a wild journey that every parent is on
We go from controlling every aspect of their life and schedule as a baby, to hoping they’ll ask for (and listen to) our opinion as a teenager. This raises an important question: How exactly does influence work?
So, let’s consider influence like this:
We listen most to the people we love the most. A parent is the greatest influence in a kid’s life. While our influence may wax and wane with the seasons, there are general rules of thumb for how to gain (and lose) that all-so-important influence.
Club Director / Pastor
Club Directors, one of the best people to have on your team is your pastor to get ideas of how to involve your pastor. Ask for a meeting, set up a time, choose the items from the list that are most relevant to you right now. Maybe even schedule a time to meet every month/other month with your pastor to share what is happening in the Club.
Also, if you aren’t a part of the church board, ask if you could be at the next meeting. You should be there! This is where you advocate for your kids and keep the needs/highlights before the church leaders.
