Part 1

INTRODUCTION

TRAIN UP A CHILD IN THE WAY HE SHOULD GO: AND WHEN HE IS OLD, HE WILL NOT DEPART FROM IT.

Good morning, Southpointe!! We are starting this new series called Family Chat. In the series we are going to ask you as a family to have some chat about some discussion points.

And to give you help with it, we are going to give away some living room furniture but for you to be able to have a opportunity to get this furniture.

Each time you and your family are discussing the points and you post it on Southpointe Facebook page and you put comments about the discussion point.

Each week you get your name put in the drawing so that would be two times and then to get it put in more if your family memorize the key verse each Sunday and post your family quoting the verse, you will get your name put in two extra times each Sunday. So if you do all of this as a family your name will be put in the drawing 4 times.

And I would like to thank the business and individuals that donate funds to purchase the furniture. thank you, thank you.

Let’s get started:

The family structure has been destroyed in our society today. Did you know that the average father spend 6 to 10 minutes with his children per day and that includes meal time and television time.

34% of American family eat one meal together per day.

12% of family pray together.

The average couple spend only 4 minutes a day of uninterpreted time together per day.

The average parent spent 36 minutes with their children a week.
