CHURCH NOTES: Kingdom Keys – Family Matters

Family matters. Every one of us has come from a family, whether we’re in touch with them today or not.

For most, family is where we grew and learned how to relate to one another; and discovered what is important and what we value.

Families are central to God’s plan for humanity.

They are mini-models of wider society. If Nat King Cole was right and “the greatest thing you’ll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return”, well Family is the obvious place to practice.

But Family can also be pressured and at times difficult. Family life often needs encouragement and help as it aims to offer support and security coupled with unconditional love.

When life gets tough we all need people we can lean on.

Kings FM is a time where some of these family values are practised. Families of all shapes and sizes come together for a hot meal, games and a story and songs based on a bible theme that everyone can engage with.

Kings FM involves doing things together rather than watching, so Mums and Dads can be as competitive as their children, and often are!

We call it Kings FM, because Family Matters, and building family together is a part of “the greatest thing we ever learn…” though the Kings part is because it happens at King’s Church every other Friday, nothing to do with the unforgettable Nat King Cole.
